JdB 151 Posted September 4, 2014 A while ago someone wondered how large the files on the file server of OFPr.info were. I've added it all up and excluding hosted sites it's 66.38GB worth of addon awesomeness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4053 Posted September 4, 2014 Cool. Man I remember back in the day I had 3/4 of my hard drive with nothing but addons. Game is still awesome I'm glad they keep that site around! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Macser 776 Posted September 5, 2014 That's true.But those 1TB drives are probably filled with crap that we'd probably ditch if we didn't have the room. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JdB 151 Posted September 6, 2014 Would it be possible for you to somehow share with this content? PFC is able to host a full mirror of ofp.info. It would be easiest if you had access to the FTP so you could copy entire directories instead of individual files. Try asking Jerry Hopper if he's interested. He's not around much here so try one of his other social profiles (I see you have plenty). http://forums.bistudio.com/member.php?5238-jerryhopper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R0adki11 3949 Posted September 8, 2014 I have already done that with no response from him. It's a pitty that Jerry doesn't care about ofp.info anymore :( I can't imagine that's true, he is providing the space for the addons. He maybe just be busy, we all have real life's as well.

JdB 151 Posted September 10, 2014 That's around the time he dissappeared for a while with no activity anywhere that I could find. Maybe your messages got lost in the heap of unread messages or something and it would be worthwhile to give it another try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valence mike 11 Posted March 26, 2015 Anyone got the full 66GB of data on their disks? Or has Jerry surfaced yet? If so, we could torrent the full pack, that could make things easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4053 Posted March 26, 2015 Shit i would do it, I have a host where I have more then enough space to host all of OFP's files for everyone, but no i dont have the files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valence mike 11 Posted March 27, 2015 Honestly that could be great. It needs only one of us to get the full package and start the torrent, that's it. Plus that could save the community once/if the main repository goes down and it's a free solution. Win-win in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted April 1, 2015 As you may have noticed the file server is down again. We'll see if and when it gets back up again. There is a backup of the files on the server of a squad and I was making a backup to an external drive yesterday and found out that it's offline when I wanted to continue today. When the server is online again that will be continued. A torrent sounds like a nice idea and I'll look at how to set one up when I have completed my backup.

JdB 151 Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Well we are now either making progress or going completely down the drain ... Hopefully they've noticed from the lack of traffic that there is something wrong and have looked into it. The server is not responding at all anymore rather than timing out or refusing to list the directory like it did before. In the best possible case they are restarting it or finishing maintenance ... I've PM'ed jerryhopper. He hasn't been on the forums for a while though. If any of you has Twitter, Facebook or Google+ could you please send a message to him to let him know? http://forums.bistudio.com/member.php?5238-jerryhopper Edited April 2, 2015 by JdB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valence mike 11 Posted April 2, 2015 I've sent him a tweet, we'll just have to wait and see now. Hopefully the FTP will be up again and you'll be able to complete your download. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4053 Posted April 2, 2015 Whats the cost to keep the server up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted April 2, 2015 Whats the cost to keep the server up? Only jerryhopper can answer that. Cervo said years ago when at peak activity that the cost was roughly €50 a month for the site + FTP. I imagine with the reduced load on the FTP and availability of hosts it might be a bit cheaper now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Yay the FTP is back online! :cheers: Edited April 3, 2015 by JdB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4053 Posted April 3, 2015 Thats expensive. I pay $7 a month for my FTP which includes everything to have a site, but I dont need one, I got unlimited bandwidth, and storage too ;) So did someone pay the bill or needed to pay the bill? or was the ftp just offline?

JdB 151 Posted April 3, 2015 So did someone pay the bill or needed to pay the bill? or was the ftp just offline? Based on the circumstances I would say that it was a technical issue since the FTP was first not working properly and then stopped working altogether. If they had wanted to get paid they would have just shut it down by refusing connections and displaying a message to the owner every time a file was being accessed.
