Important info on how to link to Breakpoint releases on untergrund.net

category: general [glöplog]
 
As you may imagine we are receiving SHITLOADS of traffic right now. Please stick to the following rules.

1.) If you wish to directly link to a file (for example on pouet), the only valid way is to link to ftp://ftp.untergrund.net/...file. You can grab the valid link from http://breakpoint.untergrund.net/download.php.
If you link to anything else (a specific mirror like ftp://ftp1.., a http link) we'll ban the referrer and kick your ass. Seriously.

2.) Alternatively (not for pouet) you may link to the download page instead, like this: http://breakpoint.untergrund.net/download.php?dir=2007/Theme_graphics/&file=laika-like-a-chinese.jpg

3.) untergrund.net users, DO NOT STORE BINARY RELEASES IN YOUR PUBHTML DIRECTORY. Doing so will get your whole account deleted without any further warnings.

4.) Do not download the videos and seminars by HTTP or FTP. Use the torrents we'll post shortly.

pouet.net admins: Please fix all wrongly submitted URLs asap please.

And while we're at it:

All C64, Amiga, Console/Wild and Game96k releases have got videos. Would be nice if some friendly gloperator added them to the prod pages (yes, figure it out yourself, it's not that hard ;)

and yes, this konda contradicts the "use the torrents" scamp wrote before, so perhaps better wait until the downloading storm has settled, kthxbyesorry ;)

Fixing the ftpx issue right now, meanwhile what about the story behind the tbl's demo binary and the madwizards one which are nowhere to be found ?

I was going to do this already earlier but the mirrors weren't updated so far. :(
hitchhikr, gargaj: thanks.

There are also people linking to ftp://www.untergrund.net - which is the most stupid combination ever... ;)

slashy: Thanks for adding a 270MB video of the farbrausch demo inside your webspace account, causing over *1.2 TB* of traffic during the last hours. Where should I send the invoice to?

Idiot. Account nuked.

scamp: just dump here the links to the video stuff that should be prioritaly moved to scene.org to cut down the traffic. me or sparcus will wget them and change the links on pouet accordingly. alternativly mail them to staff at scene.org for possibly a faster response..

ps: Having scene.org as additional mirror would indeed help. I don't know however if those 12GB would be ok for them, especially with all these high-traffic videos. Mailed them now, let's see...
