You have to be logged into PBW before you can download files from it. You can view the same file on ModWorks *here*.

Isnt that if you download BitTorrent to get it

 You post this stuff again? Windows doesn't have advanced technologies included in it, so of course you have to download programs... |

In both posts I thought it was worth mentioning. Sorry if I ruined your waiting for the question so you could make your comment

Re: Shipset/Race Errors
It seemed as if you were dredging up that strange distaste for having to install new programs to make use of a file...

I dont have a distaste for it. I already have most things loaded which anyone can come up with a need for.I have a distaste for requiring it. Especially if it comes with an attitude.
I will happily continue to provide hosting and simple http link for any files (zip or rar) anyone cares to offer.

Re: Shipset/Race Errors
There is no "attitude" involved in offering such files.

Not in offering the files, of course not. Files should be offered and in as many methods/formats as possible.
But it is best to mention that BitTorrent and WinRAR (or something equal) are also required and available at xxxxx links along with the offer. Rather than wait for the person who is seeking the mods to have to ask to allow for some "duh, of course" response about windows.

The information is provided on the site. Or rather, a link from the site to the thread here on Shrapnel with instructions on how to get started is provided.
Bandwidth savings since switching all Image Mod packs and my large mods hosted on SE.net from zip to rar have been quite noticeable, and there has been no significant decrease in the number of downloads, rather an increase unrelated to the formats. I created the bit torrent tracker specifically to shave off more from my bandwidth usage... It incidentally allows the hosting of large files that would suck up tons of bandwidth were they hosted directly. |

Re: Shipset/Race Errors
As Gandalf said. Http and zip are common standards on the net. They might not be the best and you, Imperator Fyron, have every right to try to alter them. But I have every right to find this inconvinient.
