Official Image Collection

[Fyron]

You know, its a good thing that you created an Image Mod request thread, cause I seem to have lead everyone away from the original purpose of this one.

dogscoff:
the bizzaro world one? Yes.

Fyron:
Yes. I'm not sure, but at least 12KB/s on a good day. The transfer is unlimited though.

[Fyron]

Umm, your ftp server now gives me a message warning that proxy settings disable moving, deleting, pasting, etc., to the server. This is fine. However, I can't download any of the files. I wanted to see what the download speed would be, but I can't for some reason.

[Suicide Junkie]

I found I had to right-click & say "copy to folder..."
It dosen't seem to like Drag-and-Drop.
Ah, well. I'll ditch the FTP link, but there is a HTTP link to the same site lower down on the list.
The site won't come back Online until monday morning, anyways.

I'm setting up a second mirror now, that should be on most of the time...

PS: Fyron:
Does your host allow off-site image links? If so, you can copy the "Online" image I made, and I'll link to it like I am doing for my mirror.

S_J, have you downloaded and integrated my contribution? I'd like to take that zip down from my webspace.

[Fyron]

Umm, do you mean: can my site link to images on other servers, or do you mean: can other sites link to images on my server?

Would it work if:
- You put a 235-byte GIF on your server.
- I link to it on the "choose a mirror" page
- If your site is up, the image appears to indicate that.

Submission Update Time:
I've looked through the thread, and I added:
- Loknar's new mine component
- Dogscoff's shrine
- Loknar's Cyan & Purple stars
- Maleldil's cartoon submission.

I have partial downloads of:
- Fyron's planets submission with the solar system images. (Need credit.txt)
- Matryx's Hubble Warppoints (Need minis)
- Andrés Lescano's SW planets (Need credit.txt)
- Atrocities' Planets (Need minis)

If I'm going blind/senile, and you uploaded the "missing" bits already, please point that out, and I will look again.

Hmmm, try using this link:

http://galileo.spaceports.com/~kazha...ack/Online.gif

It loads the picture if I paste the link into the address bar. Let's see if it will work on your site.

[Edit]
I clicked on the link created here, and it gave me "file not found". Try it on your site anyways and we'll see what happens.
[/Edit]

I did a partial download of one of the files from your server, and the download speed averaged a little under 6 KB/s (I get 30 KB/s on my site, for reference). This is what I thought would happen. If you get several peole downloading from your server at once, then they are going to get really slow downloads.

[Edit2]
Oh yeah, the planets I uploaded were not done by me. I downloaded them from Shrapnel 5 months ago. There is no credits or readme file in the zip, so I have no clue who created them. I'll try looking in the Shrapnel archives to see if I can find out who did them.

Is there a new Version of the mod I need to host?

I have not been able to find seplanetsver071.zip in the old downloads forum.

I did find a green stars mod done by Loknar, however.

[Suicide Junkie]

Well, the link failed. Oh, well. Your site is "always on" anyways.

6 K/s, eh? Well, you are all the way across the continent from me...
Have you tried using something like getright or one of the other download accelerators?
( DUH! Just realized that download was probably slowed down due because my siblings are all still awake, surfing and downloading (video clips, even!) on two other computers) Try again in an hour, the local traffic should be over by then .
The best time would probably be 8 hours after I made this post, on weekdays that are not Tuesdays. (got all that? )

I haven't posted a new Version yet... there was one addition to components, one to facils, and a bunch to planets.

Try grabbing the new planets.zip from my mirror, and use the download tools if you've got 'em.

++++++++++

Re: planets you submitted.
If nothing else, you could make a credits detailing what you do know. NASA images, a year old, unknown original poster, etc.

PS: I just got an email, indicating that the transfer limit on my original site is 3 GB/mo, measured at 4MB/h (one complete imagepack download per hour).

PPS: try "imagemodserver.mine.nu
