Title: HotU doesn't like me - can someone help?
Post by: snarfy on January 30, 2005, 08:21:45 am

I used to own fs2, but now can't find it to save my life, I think it was lost in a move...anyway, I tried d/ling the HotU version, but it didn't like my proxy and banned me :( so I'm a bit screwed unless one of you guys could help me out, and give it to me through MIRC or any other method.

Thanks,
Snarf

There is a bitTorrent for FS2 available on the babylon projects tracker. Game Warden used to have the files but they're down for the moment.

Hey, it's working! Going about 9-10 kbps

Thanks a million...now i just need to convince everyone to seed it  :)

Do you know if that is the hotu version or the full ver, and will i be needing all of the extra files?

The bit torrent should be the full version AFAIK. The HotU version was about 200MB in size. FS2 would be 3x700MB at a rough guess.

that's about right ... the torrent i'm getting is about 1.83 gigs

is the 1.2 patch required to install OSP 3.6.5?

If you mean FS2_Open 3.6.5 then yes you should patch first.

crud, the torrent stopped at 13% -- are there any other ways to get fs2?

It will restart if you give it time. I doubt all the seeders have suddenly gone offline.

There's just one seeder at this time; me.
FS2 iso-images, manual and the patch is available in the tracker. The patch is in it's own torrent. ('cause I forgot to add it with the first torrent...)

Ah. I thought this was connected to the BitTorrent that MatthewPapa had going over on Game Warden :)

MatthewPapa was hosting the ISOs on his webspace, not BitTorrent.

He had the ISOs hosted but also ran a BitTorrent.

There's little point to to keep this torrent running if people just leave once they have gotten it.

Well, I just finished the dl and now I can start seeding. It's not much, but I try to keep it on as much as I can.

There's now a newer torrent running. The ISO-images are now standard ISO-images and not CDROM-XA which for example made it difficult to mount under linux. The download size is also smaller because WinRAR can compress standard ISOs better, and the ISOs themselves are also smaller.

The FreeSpace 2 torrent is close to being deleted from tbp-bt.com. There simply are not enough seeders to keep it.

ill seed it once I get it. but if its going to take 2+ gigs of space I wont be able to keep it longer than a month before my brother realizes one of his games suddenly disappeared and one of mine suddenly filled that place.

It's only 1,53 GB.
