Title: PACK - size of files - updates..
Post by: finnak on May 02, 2006, 05:42:34 pm

I found this site a few monts ago and sometimes I coming back to watch whats' new. I love this game and this modification is 'shine of my life'  ;)
 Big pack is great idea - I have a suggestion/question to ShivanSpS..
 **split pack to smaller files for downloading - chosed server for direct is horibly slow (free down 5-15kB/s) and sometimes I lost connection. (~200megs will be fair)
 **Is a plan about updates withnout requisite additional big downloads? (I roughly know directory system of FS1/FS2/SCP)

..more later...

Great work guys.. maybe I can help you too..

The big file is already splited intro parts and uploaded to a direct download, the 5-15 ks in the torrent is because i capped the upload to 15kb/s to allow me to upload the last splited part to the direct download.

I think about paches, but no, is very hard to keep the compatibility to all OS in this way... the idea of the big file is to make the live of newbies a lot more easier, but afer of that, you have to keep them updated....
