My ISP is complaining bitterly that I'm maxing out their server with all the downloads etc.
So what I have done is removed all UT1 and UT2003 pages and downloads from my websites.
The files have also been deleted from the server so they wont be available anymore.
Should anyone want a file or ask for anything they can email me an I'll try and make an arrangement of some sort.
Most UT2004 files are still intact.

Nice one, maybe I should use them as backup :)

Well Ben, your choice : )

No ads with me, but only an ip, not domain, so you would have to configure a forwarding or masking of your domain ...

Basically the site is no problem and too many sites become hard to look after.
If a domain wants to host me with adds if they think my site is an attraction for them then I have no problem with that.
Basically my biggest problem is my files and addons etc that I make.
As you know once we release a version of UT2Vote, that day and the next say 5 days following, 1000's of downloads take place, but then its all over and things trickle down to perhaps 2 a day.
Currently I'm doing a hell of a lot of coding and modding for JFDuke3d and JFSW and although these files are small, between 1 and 30 megs, there are many downloads and also like in one big rush then a trickle.
My current host (UnrealZA) here in SA seems to be going small or something as we used to have many gigabytes of data on the site which has now trickled down to about 100 megs of which 99% is my stuff nad I feel like guilty, like as if they are going just for me.

My other site at www.totalconversions.com is great and although they also have a huge ftp area which I have free access to I can NEVER get onto it and no matter how many times the moderators explain to me how to upload I can never get onto it so that is currently on a website and although I have shut it down several times, EdgeNetWorks have asked me to please put it back up as it attracts people.
They even took the adds off the site etc.

I remember someone from FileFront writing to me about a year ago asking to host me but then I had everything here.
Oh and I dont have a domain, maybe I should get one but thats not important right now.

At the end of the day, if I could just find out how to use the FTP at Edgeworks (Totalconversions) then that would solve my problems as I basically just want somewhere to store some of the files.

I will however check out freespace.filefront.com - thanks for that.

If you just need some files to store no problem .. I guess about 140 GB space and over 600GB traffic should be fine for UT2Vote :D :D

But Filefront really does sound good .. The question is : Is it really secure ? Or are the file suddenly gone :)

Ok firstly CVRoy, what would me URL be if I had a website at FileFront, things like that are important in this game :)

The site I need must be universal where I'm not restricted to UT engine games as at UnrealZA I dont have problems with UT2004 mods as they are all like 1 meg and less, its mainly the Shadow Warrior section where I have like 500 megs of stuff which people are crying for especially now with the new port.
You can see the team development here:

Mephisto I appreciate your kind offer but I'd rather have a site somewhere that its more independant etc, like FileFront I suppose because as things stand now the chances are UT2004 is gonna die very fast and I'm also tired of UT related games :)

Ok, no problem. Just one sidenote :) my server are not UT releated :)

I actually have only IPs ... Like http://213.239.221.114/proasm or something ...

But I am wondering how filemirror and other can actually keep the server free of charge, sure, with adverts, but still ....

I just have bad experiences with 0-cost solutions... But please let me know if filefront thingi can be recommended... I really could use a backup for all the mirror stuff I already have :) :) : )

Can anyone download this - just want to see if it works ?
http://proasm.totalconversions.com/other/testx.zip

I'm not sure whether this link is legal as it by-passes their ftp and hence no adds etc.
Maybe they just allow me to do this as I bitched to them so many times about their incompetant methods that they just gave me a simple download space.

The way its supposed to happen is like this but I always get an error.

Soooooo if you cannot join them, then HACK them :D

Yeah thats cool if they allow files of that size - good idea.
Problem is most forums either cap you at 100k or less or dont allow attachments.
Also UT2Vote they may turn a blind eye but if I suddenly have 100 files of approx 1.5 megs attached in a 100 threads, I'm sure something will be said :)

I might take you up on that as I will soon have a few files that are a bit big to keep on my home ftp and they dont get downloaded a lot but they need to be around.
The one is about 250 meg, another about 90 meg and maybe 10 others around 10 megs.
It will still be a while till I finish them and once done if you can house them for me it would be great.

LOL I got a mail from UnrealZA yesterday telling me the server is going to be down for a few days soon while they move it to Germany as there it 3 times cheaper than here.
Gives you an idea what internet costs in this country :(

If someone is not afraid to pay a few bucks (7.50$ / month) you can get

7.5 GB storage with about 330 GB traffic :

http://www.servage.net/

Do you actually need the storage as storage or anonymous access also ? Just to know who I have to configure the ftp server because currently it is not public anymore .. But can be changed in 30 seconds :)

Thats very cheap.
I'm not sure where UnrealZA has moved to but it has already moved and although they will keep me hosted, I want to move from them as things are not what they used to be.
Also I (personally) need to be independant and also local, so what I have done in the time being is I've used the free wireless connection my company gives me for some of my files and stuff and although its only a 128k connection it will do for what I need, http://proasm.servegame.com
Totalconversions.com have also agreed to host files that are 3 megs or less in size on my site there so that solves several problems also.

Preferably not as I want to try and remain indepenadant as I'm not sure how long I'm gonna keep going with coding and stuff.
You are very generous with your offers and I would feel under huge obligations which I dont want :)
