Zekumas Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Uhm, yes is there anyway I can request all the Mods on TESSource? Kind of like you can on TESMods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Ugh..no way! There's about 2.5GB of mods in our archives and it'd just kill the server bandwidth. If you work on the fact that TESSource is on a 20mbps server -- 20Mbps = roughly 6TB of bandwidth a month. That means only 3,000 people would be able to download that every month. I sounds like a lot of people, but it isn't. I get that traffic in two days! So no, its just no feasable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zekumas Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 I mean burning it all to CDR or CDRW and mailing to the requestee (Yes Snail mail) And its not TESMods..its Unforgotten Realms that does that, sorry for that mix-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDRud216 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 With that many mods (including ALL the stupid ones) your game would probobly run incredibly slow, the bugs would add up and the amount of conflicting mods would be huge, not to mention the fact that it would take aproximately 2 billion years to install them all- and I am counting on nuclear war wiping out all digital media before then anyways, so... I don't think your idea will work :unhappy: . (good ol' blocky agrees) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zekumas Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 My point I was trying to make is, you burn all mods Currently on your database to a cd, mail them to those you request them, so it saves some of your guy's bandwith. It also helps when you are having shitty as weather, a nasty connection or no connection at all to just pop in a cd and look for the mod you want then install the SOB.

Abramul Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 1/2. I believe a DVD would be big enough.3. The idea isn't to run them all at once. It's to HAVE them all at hand, so you don't have to download each and every one you want to try.4. Please research this to determine actual time taken. "like" is not an acceptable value.5. I would expect a reasonable "processing" fee, maybe 5 pounds or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Get a memory stick. You can get some big ones if you are prepared to pay. I think in the UK you pay £60 cheapest for 1GB. Most downloading can take place while you are doing other things. It really isn't so hard. If you then feel like running a CD service for a fee to recoup your costs, go ahead. I doubt however you would find many takers for the reasons flippy said earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zekumas Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 Well I got 4 CDR with the MODs that Unforgotten Realms hosts, which is roughly over 2 GB of data, and I live in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Got to look at the legality of selling such a service, as well. Is it right to make a profit (and I'd want a profit for all the work I'd be doing) from other people's work and selling it as "price for parts and labour"?
