never such a thing as "too soon" huh?

and what are you implying about the site??

killergorilla · 13 December 2006, 10:37

The forum doesn't exist because I pulled it down

I've set up a new one but don't want to get too many people regged as it's still in a state of 'unreadyness'.

Might have to alter my release plans, I still plan on releasing some downloads before christmas but its not going to be full packs.

Probably gonna release #-Z packs with all the currently done files and then just add whatever I do over the coming months to the monthly packs.

If anyone thinks this is a crap idea let me know

Macca · 13 December 2006, 10:42

It may cause you bandwidth problems as everyone will be downloading say A for example because they want the updated files in that and every month as you update the pack you will have people re-downloading the lot again.

Monthly packs are probably the best way forward in my opinion.

I will still be releasing monthly packs...

Not sure where you're heading with your comments...

But just to clarify

Gonna release #-Z packs for Xmas. (these will not contain every whdload game as I've not finished em yet

)

Every month I will release a monthly pack with the newly released installs from the whdload website, plus any games that I've installed that weren't in the original #-Z packs...

That maketh sense?

@KG
if theres anyway i can help my friend, let me know.

@Macca
Hosting has unlimmited bandwidth, *its designed for content streaming*, company asssures me that there will be no problems with high demand

thusly just pefect for KG

killergorilla · 13 December 2006, 13:28

You are doing more than enough

(except coming on IRC - get on there from time to time

)

Zetr0 · 13 December 2006, 13:37

aye, my christmass hols are comming up, so i am sure by the end of it you will be sick of my persistant presence....

Methanoid · 14 December 2006, 00:19

KG

In order to avoid being hammered on the website bandwidth I would suggest you either Torrent it for 2 weeks before. Everyone who is keen will grab it that way and you could always hit a single set onto Usenet and that would probably reduce the bandwidth hit in total by 50% or more

Zetr0 · 14 December 2006, 02:07

in truth, I think that offering both might be a good idea Methanoid, lets hope that KG gets the time he need to get it up and running.

Methanoid · 14 December 2006, 09:13

But something OUGHT to be in place to avoid the site getting closed on Day One cos of being overcome by continual demands for DLs.

Could I also suggest that KG offers a CMPro DAT for download that has all the WHDLoads covered and updates that as each pack comes out?

killergorilla · 14 December 2006, 10:09

yep I'll have dats

Methanoid · 14 December 2006, 12:42

Good man. I'll look forward to WH-D-Day then!

aldo · 14 December 2006, 14:14

cmon KG get your finger out

just kidding mate, looking forward to all the whdload goodies

@KG
LMAO!!!!! Funny!!!

@Methanoid

I have been assured by my Hosting company that the site will have no difficulty reaching any traffic demand. There is no limmit on bandwidth or traffic its (unlimmited & unmetered)

its a smarty slick package that is generaly used for streaming content

I hope that belays fears.

astuermer · 14 December 2006, 15:21

Hmm, for me the site doesn't work

DamienD · 14 December 2006, 15:21

No, it's not making any sense.

Joke aside, I was hopping that you will have letter packs (#-z) updated yearly. So at the end of next year we have new #-z which includes all old ones with latest monthly versions.

Also I assume that all packs will have new icons as default and that naming will be the same. (for images vs. files and aga vs esc/ocs...)
