ExoticA Forum

Hi guys,

Looks like I can't download any archive from Unexotica since a couple of weeks. Whether I try with IE or FF, the download links only lead to a blank page, the download never actually starts. My download manager (FDM) doesn't work either. What's up? Is there any way to directly connect to the FTP server?

Cheers.

I don't know what problem you had a couple of weeks ago, as it was definitely working a couple of days ago. However I was debugging something and accidentally left 2 important lines commented out of the download script - but this was only a day or 2 ago. Anyway should be fine now. Thanks for reporting it.

It is possible to access the ftp mirrors directly also.

ftp://malus.exotica.org.uk/pub/ - there are limits (main site)
ftp://ftp.untergrund.com/users/buzz - unknown
ftp://hangar18.gotdns.org - some speed limits
ftp://aero.exotica.org.uk/pub/mirrors/exotica - some speed limits

if you want to download lots, please use a mirror rather than the main site.

[edit] fixed hangar18 link

Please can you confirm that the site download links now work ok for you also.

Thanks BuZz.

I tried a couple links and apparently you solved the problem. Downloads are A-OK.

Just to let you know hangar18 is now at: ftp://hangar18.gotdns.org
I put a 500Kb/s cap on it, but unfortunately (for the time being at least) it seems my ISP sucks speedwise internationally so you will most likely never hit the cap.

I might upgrade to a better ISP and 100/100 Mbit after the summer. In the meantime you have to live with slower speeds (hey it's still free at least)

Thanks spanky. I must have had a grain glitch as I think I made that post after you already had the new ip.
I've corrected it now.
