Im in a clan that runs more than one server and Im going to get one for this mod. my thing is you need to release the server file like 2 days befor the mod comes out so we can all get in the 5 hour line at fileplant. we dont want all the clinets(PLAYER) using the bandwith the hosts(servers) need and ofcorse the servers need to be up befor the players. me thinks the traffic is going to hold up all the FTP servers <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

was this:
"Yeeeaaahhhh. Ahem. Try to give us a little credit for some foresight, guys. We will be doing everything we can to get the servers in the hands of server ops prior to release. This will be easy for Linux boxes, but will be a might bit harder with Win32. Either way, we have it under control."
can some one post a link to that post in here

EDIT: w00t i figured it out here is that link <a href="http://www.natural-selection.org/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=4540" target="_blank">The one that you were asking for</a>
But hei, its cool, it seems that there are realy enough servers out. If i remember right much or than 10. Lets hope that we can fil them all.... but im not worry about that.
Guys.
Everything costs money. You cant expect a place thats as popular as Fileplanet to be able to give you all this badwidth for free. You have any ideas how much that would cost ...?
Its not like they're even forcing you to pay for it. So you have to wait in a line, well la-te-da ...
If you dont want to wait, pay for the service and get things any time you want.
If you want to leech, wait.
Simple really.

It wouldn't be as bad if the FIRST site anything is mirrored on is Fileplanet.. It USED to be a good site but I guess advertising income is not what it used to be.
Just download from ANY site but Fileplanet, the only reason you should use them is if they are the ONLY site available.
I don't mind it all that much.
Otherwise, its not that bad. I find any AM time (EST) is usually pretty good.
Smaller HL fansites don't have nearly as much selection as does Planet Half-Life. Not only this, but many, many mods are supported by Planet Half-Life too, and they have to suck up to Gamespy or else <a href="http://forums.seriouscommunity.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14562" target="_blank">they get shut down.</a>
How long is it going to be until smaller mirror sites fold? How long until Gamespy Industries "befriends" the largest fansites, thus making them puppets? <b>How long until Fileplanet controls the modes of supply? <u>How long until they make paying mandatory?</u></b>
Sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it's not. Once Gamespy acquires all meaningful mirrors and sites, they will charge for admission to the site. "Don't want to pay?" they say, "Get it from somewhere else!" But there is no somewhere else.
lol
that <b>will</b> be sad
-PD
yeah, that's scary.
