Shipset Downloads...

Ragnarok · #1 October 27th, 2003, 05:27 PM

Is there a location that I can download all the shipsets out there in one file? I know Fyron and SOTAS have all the sets available but I don't want to go through and download every set one at a time. It would be nice to have one large file to go from.

If not then I guess I will just wait till I get home and transfer all files to this computer but that's still awhile away.

Not that I'm aware of.

(PS: One file? All 250+ of them?!? That would take decades on a dialup!

Ragnorak, I can empathize with you, but since I lost all of my SEIVG files in February, I'm slowly trying to re-download everything and I have to do it one file at a time. I'm not aware of any one superfile, and it would probably would take forever on dial-up. That's why I try to d/l at work and take what will fit on a floppy home. The rest I'll have to wait until I get home and d/l from there. Although it will take longer, I use a file manager, and if I get disconnected, I just get back on and resume from where I got stopped at. It may take awhile, but I'll d/l those big files eventually.

As for dialups, you may consider spliting up the files in several (agreed, a lot) of different files, but don't ask me how you are supposed to do that.

Yup, all 250+ of them. I have the fastest DSL connection available here at work (although still not as fast as it should be for some reason) so it wouldn't take as long.

We're supposed to get 1500Kps down and around 800Kps up but we only pull 150Kps down on average. I'm currently looking into other options and yelling at our ISP to figure out whats wrong.

Dang, talk about topic drift....

Anyway, I'll just start downloading all the files one by one then. Maybe once I get them all I will provide a one large download or split it into 5-10 downloads for all the shipsets. I'll have to think about it.

Thanks for the responces.

if you did that you would need to make sure that they are all in the proper folders etc. it can be anoying as it is when your downloading a copple of shipsets at once then haveing to change the directory you are zipping to for each shipset...

I had a full set of them in one file before the downtime on SE.net... I need to remake it with the latest files though.

I believe http://www.tescosamoa.com has an option to download a bunch at once, in the Suppository section.
