Even if, Joel would cut the music, it would be impossible with modem...
Even in my backwater country there is a lot of internet cafee's, with good connection, where you can dl anything you want ( for a small fee ). Isn't it the same way in other countries?

" Small fee" is about 0.25$/hour. It is not much, isn't it?

There is also the option of buying a CD with the files directly from FilePlanet, but getting the mod at an internet cafe will be cheaper I think... you only need a way of taking the file home later, check if the internet cafes near your place have CD burners (yep, some don't have) ;)

I dont get exactly what you mean, but there are two file splitters in the tools section of the phrozen keep , though I suggest the splitter 3.1 (I couldnt get the Phrozen file splitter to work properly).

It's amazing how dramatically similar this situation is to what I just went through in trying to get CryptForge uploaded. :) It was a 238MB MPQ without the music. Had to be released in -direct -txt so that the compressed files wouldn't be so large. The music was equal size when all put together. So, I had to leave it out (for now) just to get CF released from my 56k mess.

Best of luck getting your size issues settled, Joel. I'll have to download it when its ready (but not with my 56k modem :) ) .
I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin.

My current mod directory is 128 Mb large

Other than gozilla there is for example getright aceelerator, which I think is the best of all I've been using...

I agree with a lot of you guys...I wouldn't care if the mod was 500 mb in download I've downloaded bigger stuff (movies for example) and with cable it isn't so bad.

Just leave your pc running during the night and you should be ok :)

Anyway make it as big as you think is needed, its gonna totally shake up the entire mod world, as great as your mod is :) keep up the AMAZINGLY good work you've done so far 8-O :D
