I was asked to upload the demoscene stuff and games so i will start with that. Find the files (later) on the EAB FTP in my DIR.

Oh wow, fantastic! Thank you!

Thalion my friend, I wish you fast recovery and good health !

Thalion · 16 February 2017, 11:21

okay been offline for two months and instantly lost my upload account password. I already contacted turran for help but have to wait for an answer. sorry

After waiting some days for response i have decided to create a new upload account. Upload of Bttr stuff has started now but it will take some time as the size is nearly 2.8GB. Find the files in the DIR thalionNew. I hope you find there what you are searching for. It is everything i have saved from Bttr back in the days. Directory structure resembles how i have catalogued it back then but should be pretty easy to understand.

Your a star! Thanks for this.

Thalion · 18 February 2017, 17:32

Bttr upload is mostly complete. Only the last v2.41 update is still incomplete and is in continuous upload.

Bobic posted a German report about the history of BTTR on 4Sceners.de

Thanks for this but I do not speak nor read Gedrman

I've just read it using Google Translate. Not brilliant but does a good enough job that you can read and understand it.

I really miss this site

It was a joy just to browse the site. Like flipping through a good magazine that never ended. Back in the day I would use a web crawler to download an entire website if I liked it enough. I've kept nothing from those days. Wonder if someone did the same.

Oh, I was hoping for the http stuff.
Hope you are doing well.

Hmm.

Now it's almost all gone.

Oh well, at least post 86-93 on page 5 is a good read

Can you use waybackmachine to view the html part?

For the first couple of levels of links, then it fizzles out.

qupe · 20 August 2020, 17:53

It is a bit of a trawl as the site captures the site a different stages

back2roots and homeoftheunderdogs were my goto sites back in the day. I loved just browsing around and learning. So much fantastic content. There is nothing like them.

DamienD · 20 August 2020, 23:40

Yeah, I spend loads of time on both sites

ma693541 · 21 August 2020, 01:57

Someone had nearly uploaded all from BTTR here at EAB, but the Upload folder for that was at Mai's FTP Server and that server is hard to get a connection to with FileZilla and the correct setup with it's IP and Port. Have tried at different time of the day/evening and got bombed out after 20 sec. before even getting the folder list.

chip · 21 August 2020, 07:45

Hi ma693541

If i well remember Wiking67 has uploaded BTTR stuff on the eab file server

But as you already know, the uploads folders are hidden now

ma693541 · 23 August 2020, 10:09

I said Mai's FTP Server, didn't I?
