TheLozza Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Why is it that every mod I've uploaded in my history that it is also appearing on File planet. I made many mods for grand theft auto SA and every one of them were uploaded a day later to fileplanet. Are these sites (gta forums, nexus) linked to fileplanet? Or is it some trolls violating the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Happened to me too. I didn't think my mods were even warranting a mirror. Does it have some sort of a web-trawling bot that automatically picks up files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micalov Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 The sites are not linked. The editors of sites like that tend to go and get mods to upload because they think they should, mostly not even bothering to read the readme /permissions ect ect :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 In a nut-shell: FIlePlanet is dying a slow and ugly death. In a bid to once more be relevant their editors are going around and uploading other people's work without permission from all the popular games. Their current focus is on Minecraft and New Vegas. If any of you send a strongly worded email asking for the file to be removed and they reply I'd be interested to read it. Might be news worthy ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLozza Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Oh ok, well, I won't bother sending an email. One time they said 'they' made my mod. Stupid file planet. I tried downloading my mod and it said I had to sign up and pay. :wallbash: Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Not as dire as it sounds. I managed to get not one, but two mods pulled from fileplanet.com after someone uploaded them without permission. It wasn't even a strongly worded email. Barely a blip as these things go. They did not reply to it, but I checked back a week after sending in the request to see that the mods had indeed been removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellsMaster Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Fileplanet is planetelderscrolls? If so, i used to download mods from there due to the much higher DL speed and no ad... I didn't know it was stolen mods :facepalm: IF it is planetelderscroll you are talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 While they're owned and operated by the same company, Planet Elder Scrolls is a fan-run project and File Planet is a business-run project. So they're not one and the same despite having obvious links. Ergo the staff at Planet Elder Scrolls should be not tarred by the same brush as the staff at File Planet.

TheLozza Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Yes, like Filefront (changed to Gamefront) Grand theft auto filesBattlefront 2 files and so on, there's about 150 fan made filefronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, thanks for the clarification... so i didn't download stolen mods then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
