Hmm... it is October. It doesn't seem like it should be October yet. Oh well.
Anyway, your insignificant slave also known as redink1 has thought of two new ways to serve D-Mods that don't involve FilePlanet. While FP has always worked good for me, it seems it hasn't always worked good for everyone else.
For more details on the plans, check the comments.
1) Yahoo! D-Mod Group
I've created a group on Yahoo! (linked above) that will store the 5 most recent D-Mods. You can be notified (if you want) when a D-Mod is released, and download it from the Yahoo! Group. You need some sort of Yahoo! account to register.
Unfortunatly, Yahoo! only provides 20 MB of space, so larger D-Mods will not be on there.
2) Bittorrent Links
Bittorrent is a great little tool that allows you to provide a file without using a ton of bandwidth. Basically, it is a peer-to-peer application that allows people downloading something from you download it from each other too. It is slightly more technical than that, but that's the gist of it.
I'm still not sure if I want to mess around with Bittorrent just yet, and I'll have to do some test releases to see if it is viable. Bittorrent works best when lots of people are downloading the file at the same time, so it will probably only be available for the first week or two of a D-Mod's release.
