Somewhere to post large zip file for download?

The Hood · February 07, 2009, 01:14:10 PM

I'm looking for somewhere to stick a large (11Mb) zip file containing all files needed to play the latest pakBritain. Can anyone point me in the right direction or offer to host it? Thanks

How about http://files.simutrans-germany.com ?

If it's all open, why not use sourceforge?

@jamespetts
Thankyou - but how do I request a password?

@VS
prissi isn't keen on this, if I understood him correctly

The Hood,

I don't think that you need to request one - just type in an arbitrary username and password, and you can upload. You will need the same username/password combination to delete.

Incidentally, if you want somewhere to post the sources, consider Github.

Doesn't seem to work, I typed in a username and password, pressed upload, waited 10 minutes for "sending request..." and at the end - nothing!

Hmm - that site can be slow for large files sometimes...

Why not using the sourceforge release system? I was not keen on pak-Files in the SVN, because the SVN is for the SOURCES. But for releases there is the sf-release system. You should be able to make releases, if I did not messed up your account settigns. Feel free to aks.

Ask you? or ask sourceforge? This would be handy when I get round to doing a full release. For now, I'm happy for sources on sourceforge and a zip of the paks on files.simutrans-germany.com as it was only a temporary release.

Mantra of open source. Release often. They say so on sourceforge. Thus sourceforge is exactly the right place imho.
