new download server
You guyz at the dink network need to find a new download server, seriously.  I went to the 3ddownloads site and they have about half of the DMODs that you have listed here. I tried to get the terraearth demo, and it wasn't even there. So, if you can, ;(GET A NEW DAMN SERVER!!!

Hmm... glancing around my room, I don't see any piles of cash, broadband connections, or server computers.  Seriously.



Even at college, where I have a fast computer and a broadband connection, I can't host the files.  The school has a very good firewall implemented, that prevents anybody from even pinging my computer, much less accessing files from it.



I'm sorry that we don't have a good place to host the files right now, but I'm out of ideas.  Yelling and complaining from people every day does not help matters.



Other sites hosted on Telefragged aren't nearly as lucky as having just a file download situation... some have had their hosting cut without any notice at all; one day the site is there, the next its gone.

Very true.  A telefragged site I visit regularly was cut without notice.  They had to find a new a provider, luckily they recovered pretty quickly.



You might want to at least look around for another host anyway.  You know, in case the same thing happens to the Dink Network.

Of you could just make use of more than one hosting company, like using a yahoo subdirectory for author files, yadaa, yadaa, yadda, but then it becoem tiresome to keep track of all of the different passwords.

It's not so easy to find a new erver that is willing to host all the d-mods and other files. It will require a lot of money to buy the necessary space. And seriously, you can't expect the Dink Network staff to invest in this, right? It's still a hobby for us. Keep trying at 3D Downloads and you'll get through.

Swapping is not working yet...



People have suggested we list our files for possible exchange.  I have ProphecyOA and IsleOCroth.  Slaughterhouse as well, which is a nice little mod.

Well, it might help if angelfire allowed off site hosting, & if more than just the source code was included ;)

Plenty of people; if a game were like that out of the box I'd be irked.

I know the feeling... you spend your precious time downloading something... and it doesn't install.

Yes, like the ONE HUNDRED MEG Counter-Strike mod for Half-Life...I almost cried when I saw that it was corrupted. Not because I was restricted from gaming goodness, but because I had wasted 4-5 hours downloading that when I could've surfed...



Heh :)
