teleguy Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 That's what the news section of jediknightii.net says: What's the deal with the files? We are very aware that our file database has the most JKII files online, the fastest download server, and is the backend for three different sites. You need to be aware of is the amount of resources it takes to keep such a project online. Towards the end of last week, the file database was pushing 100 GB/day. (While this may mean nothing to you, most of you don't have hard drives that big. Imagine filling up your entire hard drive ... in one day of downloading ... from one web site.) It's great to see that this many people are interested in downloading community files, but the cost is currently too high for the staff. The JKII.net staff is made up of gamers like yourself. We all either have full-time jobs or are full-time students. While people confuse us with LucasArts on a daily basis, this site is independent of theirs. Our site is funded by the advertisements you see around this page. Some months we make money, other months we lose money; however, our goal is to get enough revenue to cover the cost of the server. We do this as a hobby simply because we enjoy covering games put out by LEC. When the database is back online, feel free to send us 'broken link' e-mails. Until then, we will not read any. Also, e-mails like this one make me laugh: "Consider this your first notice. Your files have been offline for more than 48 hours. Your sponsors rely on you to attract visitors. Without the files section we do not believe you can do so in the manner reported to your sponsors. Resume serving files immediately or we will be forced to begin systematically notifying your sponsors of your inability to perform." If our site had actual sponsors, they wouldn't want their advertisements on the files page. Ahh yes, I understand now, but when will the files return? We project that the file database will be on a different server within a few days. If we get the server we want, there won't be anymore limits as to how much you can download. If things work out our way, we may have the files moved to another temporary server to minimize the wait. Until then, download your files at Massassi Files or Jedi-Outcast.com Files. Both of those sites have great file scripts and are on fast connections. If you have a serious e-mail concerning this matter, feel free to e-mail me (zeroxcape-at-jediknightii.net).
