Spring RTS Engine

- fetch file list from here http://tracker.caspring.org/torrents.txt or connect to it and it sends you info about all maps and mods it knows
- then connect to p2p coordinator and send it need file request - in few seconds it will respond with list of working http mirrors for that file

Once again, if I ran a torrent client and tried to use your system to sync my file host, Darkstars would be nuked by the admins and I would loose 3 years of prepaid hosting without refund for violation of their TOS. Then try to think of the various websites I offered hosting to, such as the TA3D engine.

The same applies for foreboding who uses the same hosting plan.

And that's before I get into configuring and building mono or any .Net environment when running on a shell as a normal user on a shared host.

Well I'd like to upload to darkstars but even with the new upload function it doesn't work for me with MA. Still the same problem that nothing happens after the upload is finished...

Then you really must tell me. I tested it out and it worked and nobody complained it didn't work therefore it must work! If you try it and it doesn't work but you don't tell me then I don't know about it and I cant fix it.

Just 1 host could do what Licho suggests and then provide a rsync server for people like you and FA to sync to.

Well I just tried to upload it yet again - with zero success. I then tried to upload Upspring to the development section. It also didn't work but at least I got a "error : Incorrect type of file." below the upload form (while the MA upload doesn't give you any errors at all)...

So pretty much the same situation I already did tell you about - that SpringSP upload I did before the crash worked like a charm but since then all other uploads I tried to do failed somehow...

You didnt tell me the file sizes of any of these files, so I remembered the file limit and found this:

upload_max_filesize 7M 7M

Why dreamhosts have such a low default value I have no idea. Its fixed now anyway at 100MB.

You didn't ask...

Well while we're now at some basic restrictions like that - the Upspring Installer is an exe file so is it forbidden to upload exes and so that "error : Incorrect type of file." is explained?

Will try to upload MA now...

AF you probably misunderstood me..

The system does not require to use Torrent.. you can get all the files hosted on 8 existing tracked sites using old fasioned HTTP download.

That does not violate any hosting limitations im pretty sure..

You can even write short script which gives you list of:
file name/type, URL mirros to get it

out of the current system.

Well I tried to upload MA and now I also get a "error : Incorrect type of file." there...

Maybe try it for yourself:
Get the MA modfile (http://spring.jobjol.nl/show_file.php?id=987) and try to upload it. I wonder if you can succeed on this...

You might need to lend a helping hand licho, Im hardly famed for my linux knowledge.

It would appear the mimetype of that file is application/force-download which isnt accepted in my upload script. Im uploading now to see if Ive fixed the issue.
