Ha, I just wanted the 500th post.

[StratComm]

Worthless "bump" of the sticky thread already at the top of the forum.  Nevermind that you're not the 500th post, but actually the 501st.  Now whoever clicks on "last page" doesn't get the last meaningful conversation; he gets this.

Find yee spam-posts elsewhere, or ye'll walk the plank!  :arr:

Hey Worm,

I have to clean up some of the files on the FTP server. I'm just going to put a simple txt listing that you can click on and read.

Cheers!

[Fractux]

The text file will be posted as a hyperlink. You won't have to connect to the server to grab it, as that would defeat the purpose of it

I'll post it once I have time to clean up the files. Probably by tonight.

[Fractux]

Just posted the link on the first page.

Hello everyone,

   Like my friend Swag_w a few posts up, I'm getting the same problem with my FTP.  Does this mean the slots are full or is there another problem?  In the meantime I'm using eMule to get some of the files, even though I feel I'd get them faster with the FTP.  Either way, any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Update: Well I'm getting my files so far from eMule, but I got another problem:

Single-player works fine, but when I try to host a multiplayer LAN game, or any multiplayer game in that matter, it says, "You need 1 CD for every 4 players!"  Is there a no-cd crack that will take care of this?  Keep in mind I'm only running so far on the basic files (that you download from HotU), with the properly installed sparky_fs2.vp and sparky_hi_fs2.vp files, including using the HotUv1.2Pack.  Anything I'm missing?  Do I need the other VP files to be able to get passed this problem?

[Major_Striker]

Well thanks for the help everyone   Anyway I got the whole game now, thanks to the eMule links.

Sorry about that. Missed this post (mainly cause you edited rather than posting again) and everyone else probably waited for me to respond seeing as the problem is with my crack pack.

Quite frankly I've not tried using the exe from the crack pack to play multiplayer so I've got no idea why it's not working. You could try using FS2_Open (From the Source Code Project forum) or if it doesn't work for you you could also try this exe.

If you want to play multi my FAQ online (or even on a LAN) my FAQ has an explaination in case you get stuck.



Sorry our service wasn't up to our usual standards

Is the FTP down? BitTorrent has always been abhorently slow for me and I'm looking for an alternate method to download these files.

[karajorma]

E-mule? Why is bitTorrent so slow for you?

I might be talked into a release on Usenet.

[Aiquandol]

If you could put it on usenet that would be... amazing.

[karajorma]

I'll just have to figure out how to do it Never bothered posting binaries before.

Hi

I'm a big fan of Freespace. I played Freespace 1 and I have Freespace 2 Colossus (but it's only a couple of missions:().
I just downloaded freespace 2 from hotu and tried to connect to this ftp serwer but couldn't because there were to many users.
I would like to know is there a torrent to this? I see that there are files on edonkey but I don't use it (bad memories). If anybody could post an alternative like where to find a torrent or another ftp serwer or something I would be glad.

Thanks and bye

P.S. Sorry for my bad English. I'm not native to it and make the most stupid mistakes.

[karajorma]

If you want torrents click on my FAQ link below and check out the general questions page. I've got three different torrents linked to there so one of them should work.

By the way

[Fractux]

Seeing as there are other ways to get the FS2 data now, that are much quicker than the FTP, I was considering closing down the FTP server I'm currently hosting.

I will leave it for a few days before doing so. Then I can allocate the bandwidth elsewhere.

Cheers!

[Yaroslav]

Thanks for the welcome and those torrents.

Heh.  None did - a number of faults.  So I've set up my own.  Assuming I've done it right, you should be able to grab a torrent file at http://www.ozzard.org/FreeSpace2/all_fs2_vp_files.zip.torrent that references an Azureus-based tracker at http://tracker.ozzard.org:6969 (from which you can get the torrent if I've messed up the file on the Web site).

Note that the whole lot's hosted at the wrong end of my domestic ADSL, so my apologies for the slow downloads that will undoubtedly be experienced by the first few victims... uh... downloaders.  If you do download from it, please be kind to my bandwidth and keep sharing the file, even if you limit your own upload speed - thanks.

Cheers. I'll add that to the list.

Little confused about the torrents not working though. I even tested then a couple of days before posting that and only one of them was down at the time.
