Taking down the GameFront files


Dark0ne

Recommended Posts

Only problem with EU users having to go to GameFront is that we'll struggle getting mods downloaded after we've waited for ages for the site to load. I'm sitting with a 100/100MB internet and have an easier time to download a 70GB game than downloading a mod from GF... Screw us I suppose.

Let's do it like this, I'll start trying to get one mod right now and I'll make another reply when I've finally gotten it downloaded.

Dark0ne, I applaud your decision to help GameFront maintain some semblance of uniformity and "brand".

 

It may seem absurd to some, but this issue is about GameFront being able to enforce control over content created specifically to be hosted on their site. It affects many things, but the greatest factor is trust. Having mods reposted to other sites can lead to those reposted mods, or the server connection itself, being a possible infection vector for any kind of malware by less scrupulous individuals.

 

Dark0ne, if Nexus has the storage capacity, a mutually beneficial arrangement could be reached.

Have the affected mods link in their descriptions to the GameFront mod page, as well as a link to their home landing page.

If Nexus has the storage capacity available, allow GameFront to keep an archive of their files here, with the files unavailable.

In this way, if GameFront experiences service issues as they did in 2016, Nexus will be poised to keep the files safe and accessible.

 

Also, it might prove beneficial in the future if Nexus and GameFront entered into some form of "Mutual Exclusivity" arrangement, backed up by some actual legal authorization. As you said, pertaining to the "who is involved", you weren't surprised. If they are doing this to GameFront, they will do it to Nexus if they aren't doing so already.

 

Having an arrangement like this, where GameFront has the primary mod link and Nexus "has their back" with backups would mean that mod authors on GameFront could be resonably assured that their mods will always be accessible.

Hi, we're based in the UK and I'm in Manchester, we don't see throughput problems? Just to confirm you're on .com and not the other (illegal mirror) GF site? If your're having issues still though you can open a support ticket and we'll investigate (and I will do so now)

@LunarDarkness... I just checked the Black&White filepages, and I see a bunch of the mods that have screenshots for them... not sure what's got your panties in a twist...

Gave up around 15 minutes ago.. The download either won't start or will just endlessly loop as if it's trying to start the download or I just get an error 404 or 503

GameFront.com works fine for me (in Greece) and download speed is faster than Nexusmods. Edited by axonis

Hi, you're definately on the wrong GameFront unfortunately. It's gamefront.com not gamefront.online. Hope this helps. The other is an illegal mirror.
