You can get the full CD's from this thread

Focher : You might as well get the full CD's but try following my advice about the 3.6 launcher as it automatically adds all the registry keys itself too.

yeah.  just please only download the ISO files.  you don't need any of the VP files.  i'm worried about bandwidth if we have 10 people downloading them in one day

[Cyker]

Well if it gets really heavy you can always start up a BitTorrent link

I am using eDonkey but I also saw them at http://torrent.youceff.com/ as a Bittorrent download. Just search for freespace.

Thanks everyone.

Hey Focher, welcome to you too.

are both FTPs down because i can't get into either i put in the usernames and when i am prompted for a pass i type 1234 but it keeps on requesting a pass

Bad news boys and girls. Had to take the FTP down (it was on my laptop) because I got a job and I need to use it for signal testing (I work for an ISP now). I'll find an old junker computer to set up the FTP back on it, but I'm swamped for a few days. It will be abit, but I'll have it back up and running soon. Sorry for the delays.

Any info on when either FTP will be up?

Neither one works, and the link to the ISO's doesn't work either.

[Setekh]

Welcome to HLP to you too, Gene. May be an idea to PM Molish, just to make sure you get his attention.

O.K., but what happened to Fractux's server?

[MatthewPapa]

You can find all of the files that were on those and more at Game Warden.
http://freespaceserver.cjb.net/
Navigate to it from there

THX a lot! That was really helpful!

Once I download the files, do I just write them over the same-name filler files in my FS2 dir? Or do I need to edit something?

[MatthewPapa]

Uhh, dont quite know the answer to that one. I think you just drag and replace. I dont think it would hurt to try that anyway.

Depends on what you're doing. If you're getting the iso's you'll need to either burn them to CDs or get a program called Dameon-tools to run them.

If you're downloading the VP files then my advice is to download them all and rename your data folder to data-old. There are a lot of placeholder files in there that will prevent the vp files from working correctly even when you do install them.

Does anyone know just how much bandwidth and simulatneous connections can the first of the two FTP servers support?

[IcyScythe]

I keep trying to get it from both the FTPs but it won't work... one FTP the browser "can't find", and the other it gives me a "421 error" saying there are too many people connected... what's going on? I'm using Mozilla Firefox btw...

I then tried EDonkey clicking on the "get all files here" link (weighed about 700+ megabytes) but it didn't do anything.

Also once I do get the files downloaded what do I do with them?

MatthewPapa has generously uploaded the ISO files to his site so you can get them from there. You just have to ask him for a download slot.

If you only want the movies Kosh is the man to see

I keep getting error messages for Kosh's movies, specifically that the files can't be read.

[karajorma]

Works for me. I only tried the first few k of a couple of movies but they seem to be fine. Which movie are you trying? I tried Bastion and Intro
