Dark0ne Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 As video games get more advanced and the modding scene continues to mature the quality, quantity and size of mods grows with it. Up until today the file size limit for file uploads has been 300Mb as this size was deemed appropriate for almost all modifications that weren't massive texture replacers. I think that situation has now changed. Bigger and more advanced modifications are released regularly now and in response to requests from various mod authors I've decided to up the file size limit to 1Gb, or 1024Mb, per file. I've tested the system out with a 975Mb file that got uploaded without a hitch. If you experience any issues uploading large files let me know. Remember that upload speeds are generally much slower than your download speed and can take a very long time depending on your connection speed and how far you are from the main web servers (that are hosted in south-east England). Please remember to properly compress your archives still so they take up as little space as possible. Users of TESNexus: the hard-drive storing the mods for TESNexus is almost full to capacity. I have 3 new HDD's on their way that should arrive next week and be installed towards the end of the week. Please do any spring-cleaning on your files and remove any old files that are no longer necessary for your mod; your main file download counters will not be affected if you delete files from your page. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaldir Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) yaaaay! :D Nice one, Rob! ;) This will be great for me when Skyrim comes out, and the Viking in me starts working on projects that can finally be finalized since I already have lots of resources from the vanilla game! :P I recommend everyone to use 7zip to compress their files, as it compresses better than WinRAR, ALZip and ZipGenius! With big files, the size difference is quite a lot! Edited May 28, 2011 by Zaldiir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcat221 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 7Zip is the "Chinese Food Takeout Container" of file compression apps. Even Winrar cannot cram a file as well as 7Zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushkatu Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 We're all a lot more happy now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamonnaTong Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 This is nice, Morrowind to Oblivion content file size was a huge jump I think Bethsoft said like a 6:1 ratio(I think more can't remember.). Skyrim I presume will be 3:1 or 4:1 ratio jump. So this is definitely a nice add-on if you would call it to think site. Thank you again, Dark0ne. Or Mr. Scott, Rob whichever you prefer.

Hickory Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 This is great news. It would be nice, now, to see some of the big overhauls that otherwise have to be downloaded off-site be hosted at the Nexus as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magirock Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 This is the reason as to why I always stick around the Nexus... Thank you so much, this will make uploading and downloading easier without having to resort to mirror sites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
