Help save UT files on Filefront

Some of the rare files that should be saved, I already downloaded them in any case:

http://files.filefront.com/ChameleonUTmodels+includedrar/;7255684;/fileinfo.html
http://files.filefront.com/DMVilla2+224rar/;6750685;/fileinfo.html
http://files.filefront.com/UnrealGWPressAddonszip/;6750684;/fileinfo.html

http://files.filefront.com/utclassicpackizip/;8462023;/fileinfo.html
http://files.filefront.com/Unreality+Map+Pack+for+Unreal/;6596618;/fileinfo.html


And these maybe too as they are installers (the first two include all the official maps from epic for Unreal, counting the fusion mappack, OEM demo maps and GW press bonus levels which were avaiable for owners of the official strategy guide):

I got some webspace (only 1 gig though, not 48+ TB like FileFront ), but i'd be willing to host a selection of files and put up anything i have at least temporarily on request. I'll go through my external drive next week and try to compile a list of the stuff i have. You probably have been collecting like me, so you'll understand that this just might take a little while. There is a bunch of files to go through. For years i've been downloading ANYTHING connected to Unreal and Unreal engine games.

Thanks for the links, Azura. I've downloaded everything (though i am pretty sure i had most if not all of them anyway). I even found a little program that let's me print out a listing of the files in a directory, though i am not too happy with that one. If anyone knows a good application that can do that and can maybe even export to excel, that would make my work a lot easier since i want to create a listing with not only file names, but also descriptions of the programs/tools/mods whatever.
All the Unreal and UT files are usually not that big, so i guess i could host quite a lot. If it will be more i checked with my provider and i could get a server up for 20 bucks a month with 75gig. That should probably do it, right? But that's for later, if we really need the space.
Oh and keep those links coming. I ran through the Unreal and UT folders on FileFront at some point, but it could be i missed something and i did not download all maps. It was mostly about tools, utilities, map packs, ressources and mods.

If 48 people of this forum buy a 1TB hard drive, we can get everything from FileFront. Then, if a user requests a file, people look it up off their 1TB hard disk and upload it to a temporary host, or a more permanent one if possible (Though with FF going down, I doubt that will even exist after :/)

I'm not going to be one participating in the 1TB download though, because if I started now, it would take four months to get my TB done (And FF is dead in four days )

/Absurdity

Good luck with your project though. Can't help because my internet is too slow.

Thats the worse news i heard in years , i still had to download lots of stuff for Unreal, UT, UT2003/2004 UnrealII and UT3 for UnrealTexture.com Effectivelly i wanted to have all files from FileFront on the site for download. And its even worse, from all download sites around, FileFront has always been the best, little to none commercials, no waiting time, uploaders had tons of filespace, and also lots of info to be read on the files. Big, big shame


All that time i thought, i can do that bit by bit........ It horrible news, got no other words for it.

Well at least 160 gig of downloads from mentioned games are safe sitting on the site.

Uploading all the above links to ut-files.com.

Did not have time to cross reference if they was already on the site, so I put them in a directory called filefront. This way you guys can easily see if a link has already been added, though I would suggest using the search feature to make sure.

When I get some more time, I'll go through and categorize them. Post more links, I'll check this thread daily.

Downloading 48TB on an OC-3 connection (150Mbps) would take over 700 hours, there are only 720 hours in a month. I'm not sure what kind of connection Filefront has, but most of my downloads was only going around the 200 KB/sec range and I'm good for 700 KB/sec. I don't think its physically possible for Filefront to move 48TB of files over a network, in only 4 days.

They would need something faster than an OC-12 connection (622Mbps) which is possible, but very unlikely.

Although I do realize all the files aren't stored on the same "end node" and I'd be willing to bet it's part of some kind of cluster/multiple server setup. So it's very possible they could have 6+ 100Mbps connections to each server, just very unlikely. I only know this because I, for a second, thought maybe I could host Filefront. Ok..so I didn't really think I could, but I questioned what it would take to host such a site.

Well, i decided to go download everything i am missing and/or partially missing.


Unreal Tournament, all the:

- Models
- Mods
- Tools and Utilities
- Dm Maps N-Z




UT2004, all the:

- Skins
- Models
- Mods
- Tools and Utilities
- Official Add Ons


Hopefully i will be done before monday, so i can download other files if needed. And hopefully they wont shut down before that and keep their promise.....


But its a real shame since i have zero files from UT2003 and Unreal II. Those sections were supposed to be there on the site as well in time.........


Obviously, like Skillz, keep posting super important files, and same here, ill sort out later.

Been a long time since I posted here...

Anyway, Phenix and some of the other (ex-)Filefront higher-ups have organized a movement to back up as much as possible. Phenix has one image of the site, I'm creating another. UTFiles may die, but we'll have mirrors of the archive, rest assured.

FF|n0e has a plan about hosting in the works though, he's hoping he can get the forums up in a couple days and then we can start replacing files. To quote: "<n0e> we're currently looking into ways of bringing things back online once more at a new location"

That's a relief.

Is it possible to gain FTP access to FileFront so i can backup as much as possible? As it is i am downloading the entire site file by file, and trust me its alot of work.........


If i would have FTP than that would speed up things by a 1000........ As for the IRC, i would love to go join, but i never used it, where do i go to join you guys on a chat to share ideas/info ? ? ?

And seeing the fact FileFront is going down, it means that the [COLOR="Red"]www.UnrealTexture.com[/COLOR] site is now the second largest Unreal series site after FilePlanet, having over 160 gigabyte of data and using up more than 400 gig of bandwidth a month, and still growing with 20 gig per month.

If anyone can give an FTP that would be awsome........

There's four days left it's probably a good idea to just pick anything that seems original or interesting to you. Maybe we could organize a unofficial DVD compilation after this.

Here's a few links that might be worth saving. You can pass your mouse over the links to see the full name.

Got those.

Anyway, I think we need coordination. Any ideas how we can sort this thing out?

Save all of it. No need to let any of it perish.

I think there's whole lot of stuff that's not in any of those "Unreal Tournament" section. I want to save all UT movies I can but I can't find them there and own-age is down =(

If I had my own computer i'd just dounload everything I could find for all unreal games but i'm not on my computer and I need my portable drive to help me get back on my own computer.

And those files are more important than the downloads in the UT section, because those wont show up on me if i download the entire section, or at least big part of the UT section. Though rather actual files and not movies, unless of course its an important movie for the community.
