www.unrealtexture.com is down

Post by DieHard SCWS »

Hi all,


At this moment the entire site is down because the host decided to entirelly suspent the account. Apearently they dont like to have a succesfull site running from their servers.

In any case, it means the entire site is gone for the moment and i am negotiating with a few other hosts to get the site up and running asap. Aside the fact this is a financial blow for me, its an uncool situation for all the people that uses the site to get their Unreal stuff.


I hope indeed its possible that to get another host because the site is large. It contains over 6,222 htm files, 20,414 gif's(buttons and texture database), 24,659 downloadable zipfiles and another 33,106 various files.

Together that makes over 80.000 files which means in server terms it uses over 80,000 inodes, while most providers have a 50,000 inode limit. And i estimate when the entire site is done it might take up some 200,000 inodes. For that, it might be difficult to find another host. It also means i cannot give a real timeframe when the website will be up again, but hopefully i get it online again within a couple a weeks.


On top of that, if i get a new host it will likelly take me a few weeks to reupload the 200+ gigabyte of data, since upload is always limited to a lousy 120kbs  ::)


In the meantime [url=http://www.celticwarriors.net]www.celticwarriors.net[/url] is of course available for all the Unreal downloads. I will see if i can upload the S3TC files for Unreal to that site, and if needed i reinstall my FileFront account and have all those files for download available from there.
