: How big would that be exactly? I'm picturing big. I hope if this happens it
: at least omits some of the major scenarios that are already hosted on
: bungie.org and elsewhere, since as far as I know there's no bandwidth
: problem there.
: (Also, putting the files in separate torrents by single-player/multiplayer
: or/and Mac-only/cross-platform might be a good idea, but that's getting
: ahead of things since you'd first have to convince FM to ship the files to
: you.)
The Marathon archive is 3.6 Gb, the UT archive which contains only Marathon related files is another 452.84 Mb.
I will soon hold in my little blood soaked fuzzy paws both the UT and Marathon Archives on a single DVD. I will burn some copies and mail them to a few interested parties. I do not want this archive to be lost to the ages. This is the sum of our work. Those of you who wish to own a copy of this DVD for the purposes of hosting it freely online for public download should contact me.
But I bring better news than this bone to throw, the Fileball Archives will Soon™ be online again in the form of FTP downloads. It will be the same limited bandwidth, but hopefully it will also have the capacity to be added to and I can continue announcing new additions to it. But first things first, I'm working on getting this DVD into your hands.
