File downloads are supposed to fail near completion, it's a law of computing, it has been so since the computer was invented!

Hey Dark0ne, have you thought about doing something like a Kickstarter project to raise money for a pro to install the servers? It may be really helpful in reducing the sting of the high cost.

I am not typically someone who buys into the premium or "full member" process when the free items do me just fine, however Kickstarter I can get behind as I see that there is a plan and a proposed project for improvement, in addition to what I already get. Shoot for the moon on it and put a plan together to make Nexus what you want, you may be surprised at how many people agree with your vision.

I know it was meant as a joke - not beeing rich - but let me just add something quite obvious, just in case the though haven't crossed your minds, people:

You wouldn't have to donate much. That is the idea behind "crowdfunding". If 10.000 people each spend 5$...I think you get the picture.

I mean, how many users has this place? How many more could be mobilized. I'm sure it is somewhere between high in the hundredthousands to maybe even a million. If that's even enough. So many years the nexus is active, so many games and so many mods.

Maybe I'm naive, but this should be a cakewalk (not the setting up of the donation, but reaching any set monetary goal). ^^

I am sure a lot of highly technical people use this website. Have you thought about making a post on here or somewhere like Reddit to see if a professional would be available to donate/give low cost help.

 

I am positive someone who uses this site a lot has the skills you would need. It's worth a shot.

Problem with Kickstarter is providing people with something tangible for their investment. Aside from Premium Membership we don't have much to give out, and of the other Kickstarters I see out there, the things handed out are normally merchandise like shirts, keyrings and so on and so forth. Not only do I not have these resources but I also don't have the time to handle the shipping for such merchandise!

Thanks for you and your teams efforts Dark0ne it's very much appreciated. I'm sure you'll get it hammered out one way or another.

LOL! You're right though... File transfers never fail at the beginning... Only at the end... Been true since the era of dial-up BBSes...
