Dark0ne Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Something I've been wanting to do away with for a while now is the need for a multi-part upload system for files that are larger than 1Gb, or for people who have unstable connections and can't upload large files before getting dropped. Following the successful roll-out of our new code on all the Nexus sites (we're almost there, just 3 more sites to go!) Axel is going to be continuing work on a new upload system. This upload system is going to support upload resuming and pausing. Much like download resuming this means if you upload 75% of your file and then get disconnected for whatever reason you'll only need to upload the remaining 25% of the file when you come back to uploading your file. Really handy if you've got unstable internet or if you get disconnected at 99% when uploading huge files. You'll also be able to pause your upload, so if you're halfway through uploading a 5Gb file and you want to hop in to a multiplayer game, you can simply pause your upload and resume it later. In preparation for these changes all the Nexus sites now support file sizes up to 5Gb. So while you won't be able to resume your uploads yet if you get disconnected, as long as you've got a stable connection you should be able to upload super large files now without having to split your files in to separate archives. Once Axel's new upload system is in place we'll do away with the multi-part upload system completely and work on combining all the archives that people have uploaded as multi-parts in to one single file.

jedijas Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Very good I've always thought that the nexus servers were a bit "iffy". Hopefully the implementation of this new code will help the smooth running of the site in terms of uploading files. Hopefully, maybe we could see something like this for the download system in the future? Just a thought. Anyway thanks very much Dark0ne keep up the good work.

llDeimos Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Did the Skyrim site get updated with the new code cause I still see mods in the top recently added mods section that are definitely not recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonasl2004 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Does this upgrade have something to do with me being unable to download any mods? The NMM when I open it has "No Data" listed for the version of all the mods I'm running and when I try to download something new it tells me file does not exist. If this is unrelated to my issue, I'll move my post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foekiller Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Yeah Jonasl2004, I'm getting that too, I'm pretty sure this is the cause. It'll probably be patched soon so for now we play the waiting game. Edited April 17, 2012 by foekiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pygothian Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Well done guys. This site is the best on the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElricOfGrans Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I kind of hope to not come across any 5GB mods in the next week ;) Sounds like fantastic work, nonetheless. Resuming uploads/downloads are great, even for smaller files. Having your connection suddenly drop out at 99% makes you cry blood, even for 100MB files.

ub3rman123 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 That is awesome. While there aren't many files that'll reach that big, it'll be excellent to be able to easily host them here. Can't wait for the ability to pause and resume an upload as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Wow, guys, great work. How many sites (of any kind) can you mention a down/up-load limit of 5GB? And free, at that! :thumbsup: :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorwynKelm Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Nice. As a bonus, the 5GB file size pushes people into the 64bit realm. Finally. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
