Hello!

Right now, Open Arena uses Fileplanet to distribute files, and frankly, that sucks. You need to register, just to download the files :-(

Also, it is only possible to download 'complete' releases, not the current developer version. If Open Arena used CVS, it would be possible to get more involved into what's happening currently -> development would be faster.

Open Arena could apply for free hosting, CVS, etc. on (for example) these sites:

http://savannah.nongnu.org/
https://gna.org/
http://sourceforge.net/

Greetings,

Jeroen

Okay, but can you atleast host the files somewhere else than fileplanet? It wants me to log in for no apparant reason, and asks me to pay money :-/

You don't have to pay, though it still requires registration.

You could try bugmenot.com

BANDWIDTH HOGGING

That's what the "slashdot effect" term is coined for.

Why not Sourceforge?

It has a huge publicity.

You do not need to use CVS(SVN which will be implemented in the next future).

But you can host the package like you do on Fileplanet.

I know a lot of people, who dislike Fileplanet etc., and won't register.

Okay, thx for the answer.
BTW: I tried the forum from a couple of computers. Seems to be laggy. Is there some problem last days?

yeah there's currently a mysql problem with the server that's beyond my control but it should be fixed soon. Haven't had one of these in awhile
