Downloads

Kevin · July 19, 2006

I've decided to add a new section to the forum. The link to this section is on the main bar at the top of the forum next to the search function and is labelled 'Downloads'. The link has been there for a while whilst I've been busy setting up the software but nobody has had access to it.

The purpose of this new piece of software is twofold:

First, it is to allow you to continue to download all the mods, skinpacks & templates should the UKDirt site be down for any reason. Whilst you can see all of the files, you will not be able to download these files from here whilst the UKDirt site is operational (you will get an error message should you try to do so).
Second, there has been an increased interest in people making videos of various races and I thought this would be the place to host them so that they are all in one place. Initially I thought a video for the major championships for each mod could be made and hosted here but realistically any video (UKDirt related) could be hosted.

For people who wish to make a video I would say this:

Don't ask me how to make one as I don't know, ask on the forum and someone will be able to help; all I'm doing is providing the hosting for them.
The maximum file size is 45MB. Please PM me and I'll give you FTP details to upload the file to the website and I'll make sure it appears in the relevant downloads section.
They should be in a format that is readable by Windows Media Player, as that is the only software I have to view the videos - They will be veted before they are available for download.

I will be opening this section this coming weekend and would really like to have some videos of major championship races from all mods available for download, so if you feel like having a go please do so.

I am aware that these videos are quite large in file size and will eventually eat up quite a bit of bandwidth. We have 100GB of bandwidth available so when 80GB is used up I will be switching the download section off until the first day of the following month (when the bandwidth usage gets reset). This is so that the forum can still be used in the normal way. The forum will take priority over making the downloads available, however I will be keeping an eye on the bandwidth situation over the coming months just in case they are popular and we need to purchase more bandwidth.
