Also I get emails from time to time saying that people can not download the WWI pack at simefiles - for the same reasons I can't get the Nations 2.0.

I just wanted to point this out. Also, let me know if Nations is hosted anywhere else

Thanks!

Maybe you guys have a bad route to it.

I got nations 2 off it no prob at 25k or so

and it sends pp6 at the same speed so I figure it would continue.

I'll let it finish just to confirm.

I can't speak for simfiles, but I do know a fair bit about the stats next door at AF, so let me fill you in on a couple details. I don't have the funds to support it myself (remember I started on xoom.com?) so if Dogma decides to pull the plug it's curtains. Same goes for simfiles, except he also runs it. I'm not browbeating, I have been assured by Dogma that he isn't going to change our arrangement (or simfiles) in the forseeable future, but please be aware that those "clever" little things are there because you're using donated space (if you stop to read it...) not because either of us are trying to make your lives difficult.

Consider also that no free provider will pick me up(or at least keep me for more than a week), file and bandwidth wise AF is just too big now. Now imagine simfiles. ha! Never in a million years.

Be kind, if you have gripes, email Dogma.

btw this isn't a brown-nosing session either, I'm trying to point out a few facts that don't seem to be coming to light. Like I said, go easy and email the man if you have issues with simfiles.

I did not mean anything negative by my post... I really thought maybe the issue was even on my side.

But I do think that critical files like Nations should be posted on at least two sites, not just one. Linking to Simfiles is great - it is a great value to have one place with all the files (that is where I went first), but at least the Nations site should host the Nations download (if it can.) I can host files if there is no where else to turn to.

Anyway d0gmA, please accept my apologies - I admit that I did not read anything at Simfiles, I just came here to see where else I might find Nations. (BTW, I am using IE 5.00.2614.3500 on Win 98 Second edition.)

Thanks d0gmA

I have said in the past that beyond the one month or so statute of limitation (during which anyone who has worked on nations, including guys like TS or gterl with their big sites can host it) anyone can host the files. Why don't you give Razer a ring and see if he'll mirror it?
