You couldn't put it on Hades Combine?

(It'll end up there eventually anyway.)

No

I'll be looking at alternatives such as filefront and fileplanet since I don't want to use Bittorrent.

Ok.  I'll bite.  Why do you not want to use Hades Combine?  Have there been past problems with that site I'm unaware of?

Because they want proper hosting and not leech off Hades. However, it wouldn't work because they don't let you upload files more than 150MB or something.

Because I originally wanted the files hosted here so I have complete control over providing updates regularly. Since I can't do that now I'd rather use a large filestorage place that I can upload both INFA and INF SCP to in the future. INFA will be the test of whatever I decide to use before I have to use it for an even bigger mod. I don't want to have any download limits, filesize limits or any other limits placed on the files if I can help it.

I don't have anything against HC or anything :)

I would recommend that you just make a torrent or other P2P stream and use that and accept that you may not be able to patch it. There are a lot of people who really, really want to see this thing put out the door.

I don't have a great upload stream so I'm not using bittorrent, especially when it has a bad track record with some of the other projects that used it.

OK, but a forewarning: there is no unlimited webhosting.  Anywhere. Servers have finite capacities, and often must host multiple sites. If you' get a good webhost, the limits may be high enough to be irrelevant, but there are limits.

Something like fileplanet is basically unlimited. Even though they have a finite capacity, it is not something I would need to worry about.

My only gripe with FilePlanet is the queue. But I understand why the system was implemented in the first place - bandwidth control.

I have a FileFront account I don't use often, and it's blank right now. Only trouble with that is the system itself, sometimes the tools used for uploading/downloading/file restriction go offline from time to time, and they don't even mention how long will such tools be down for.

Would that be of any use, or...?

Just suggesting, if it helps :) :nervous: :shaking:

I recommend to exclude Fileplanet because of:

1)The queue;
2)The DL velocity;
3)If you're using SNAIL connections you need 5 mins to load a page;

Not to mention you gotta login before you can even get a thing. And the adverts - they're literally screaming in your face IMO. One of the many reasons why I'm going back to older games (like FS2).
