    ​As far as a torrent or similar goes I am having some thoughts with regards to new files that are added. Since I don't want to keep creating separate new torrents for every few files. I don't think a torrent can be changed afterwards though ...

    ​You are right but we could create a torrent of the archive at a certain date and mirror the newer files through another way. I know it splits the content but I think there aren't that many additions to OFP.info these days, are there? Also, I can help mirroring these since I have control of about 40GB FTP space online.

    @JbD: If we download at a limited speed, that might not be such an issue. Plus, let's be honest, there aren't that much people around anymore.

    @Günter Severloh: All you have to do is write 'ftp.ofpr.info' in 'Host' and that's it. No username, no password and no port (or default, 21) and you're connected. Just, take in consideration JdB's warning, I would suggest to download with speed limits.

    Wait... I must be stupid, I just found out I could connect myself to ftp.ofpr.info through my FTP client (filezilla) in read-only mode. That's awesome! Everybody can download the complete pack from the source rather than set up a torrent. That's basically what I was talking about when I said we should be able to download everything in one go.

    A torrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol, it doesn't need a centralized server and that's why I proposed this solution. The person creating the torrent will send out a small file which we'll open with a client application (transmission, utorrent, whichever you prefer...) and that's it, the downloads begin.

    You may have tried torrenting some shady stuff back then, that might be why you got yourself a virus :) ! Honestly, nowadays, torrenting is pretty safe on that side, I do it everyday and never had an issue. Many torrents share illegal content but there is also legal content which people seem to forget about.

    Anyway, my view on this is that torrent is better for larger/numerous files, which is the case here. Splitting the pack into multiple archives, then uploading them onto a server to have us download them again sounds too much of a hassle to me. That's my opinion. In the end, it doesn't matter what solution you guys chose, if you give the rest of us the possibility to download the entire pack of addons and mods at once, I'll be happy.

    The more people have these files, the better.

    As an old-timer who spent countless hours on this game during my teens, I can only approve of this initiative.

    Also, our community has now lost a lot of members in its ranks, its best years are behind it and so I suggest that we, the remaining members, unite in one place on the internet and stop the ongoing fragmentation which sees many important resources disappear from the web. We should at the very least have one large and unique online database where every mission, addon, mod and tool is saved and archived.

    I feel that could at least make it easier for some of us when nostalgia strikes us and we want to play, only to be restricted to the default game.

    @ Valence Mike : this config is just around the "Recommended" specs but in fact a bit under. From my point of view the A8-3870K is not a good plan Arma3 wise, have look at this Arma2 bench :

    http://www.hardware.fr/articles/878-8/cpu-f1-2011-crysis-2-arma-ii.html

    The HD 7750 is quite a good card, I have done tests with Arma3 Alpha and a Core 2 quad 9400 and played on "Standard" with 25/30 FPS on a 1280 x 768 monitor ... and more around 25 FPS on 1680x1050 monitor.

    The game will be playable decently only in Solo, the MP will be an other story :(

    Playing with an average 25 FPS in Solo means that in MP you will have to play this game at a not very enjoyable 15/20 FPS!

    There is not much room for enhancements, the only way being up to upgrade RAM amount and speed, but due to the "dust bin fire pretext" the RAM price is a bit high at the moment and buy 8 Go of Ripjaws X DDR3-2133 CAS 9 if the mother board support it "ça risque d'être du fric foutu en l'air".

    Well in that case I guess ArmA 3 is out of question. I don't wanna run a game at 20 FPS and I don't have the money for an upgrade so I guess I'll have to stick with ArmA 2. Merci quand même Vieil Ours!

    heh

    than me and many of my friends used OFP ONLY because it was realistic more than others (closer to simulator of battlefield)

    other games had better sounds, effects, graphics

    ONLY OFP had simulator-wannabe factor

    and thats why i have chosen it, cause it is better and closer to simulator than others

    That's why now we wanna remake OFP with new graphism:cool:
