Hi John,
If you are interested, you can host the archive on Ghorthalon's server. It's hosting a lot of things including the PG13, dragonapps and a few other sites so it's very well maintained, has 2TB of space so the archive can expand passed 25GB if needed, and because it's a dedicated  linux server there is no anti-virus checking the files or anyone else deciding what gets flagged. We actually tried to make a games archive for PG13, but it didn't get very far, so this way we could link people to a working download page if we stream a game which is no longer officially available. I would also be more than happy to help out writing out links and descriptions if you need more help with it.

If you're interested, send an Email via forum to either Ghorthalon or myself.

Update:
Yes, the games are still down.
No, don't send hatemail to Jolly Leaf - they're doing everything they can to help out with this.
Reason: cPanel's system has flagged currently unknown files for copyright reasons, i.e: it doesn't think we should be distributing games because we didn't write them.
The current plan is to wait and see what we can do to get the issue resolved.
I would advise against something as complicated as a torent setup, because of the software and knowhow requirements. Using something like that inherently limits your user base to only those who are willing to install and learn a new piece of software, whereas a website or ftp based system allows access by everybody with a browser.

John, unfortunately I see this as a very common thing in the terms of service of most web hosting providers. That vague statement that a site cannot be a file storage, or a series of pages of download links, and has to have functional pages within. Granted, this site does, so if that was all there was to it this site would fit that criteria. However, I have a feeling there's some sort of behind the scenes discretion on the host's end, i e, maybe they don't look too kindly on a huge bulk of applications being uploaded to a server at a given time, and they could've gotten suspicious. At the same time, antivirus programs sometimes don't know what they're doing and flag a lot of games, particularly bsc's for some reason, and take them down. Personally I think a dedicated server with no antivirus, something to hold us back, no bandwidth constraints that I'm aware of, would be a good idea for a huge page like this. However, here's one huge, huge problem. Since we included the full-length url's in every link, we'd have to go through the huge pain-in-the-ass process of directing every download/information link to agarchive.tdrealms.com, which will take a good few hours to do in one sitting. Unless, Ghorthalon could provide us with a domain on his server rather than a subdomain. If this could be done, would you be fine moving servers? I just think, that while Jollyleaf could definitely fix this for us, this is still a constraint we'd have to deal with, and who's to know if it'll happen again or not. I think a good idea to move things over to a server with no constraints, nothing beyond the control of Ghorthalon and us, and a faster running server in general.

John, normally when you run on Ghorthalon's server, your address is yourdomain.tdrealms.com, so in our case it would be agarchive.tdrealms.com. All our html pages point to agarchive.net, so that would have to be changed manually. Unless Ghorthalon can set us up with agarchive.net on his server. As for the reason the games directory was deleted, that unfortunately does not surprise me. A part of me thought we'd have it coming, but I figured we should give it time as we had enough explanation on the site, the faq, the game's pages for the Average Joe to understand that we are only hosting the demos of commercial titles, the games and patches for abandoned ones, and free titles, all that allow distribution of the setup files, and that if a dev didn't want their game hosted we can be reasonable with that. But nearly every hosting provider will get suspicious if a huge amount of exe's are uploaded at any given time, the size of the archive alone was probably enough to get us scrutinized by the host. Now that this has happened to us, I feel it's better we run off of someone who we know we can rely on, a friend and one of this community's own developers, running on his own server, rather than a commercial webhost that may or may not agree with what we're doing.

If it's alright with you I can email Kevin aka Ghorthalon and ask him for specifics, but personally I doubt there will be a fee. If there is a fee, I'm sure it'll be more than reasonable. His server's 2 terabytes, there's a few people already hosting their space up there, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Hi,

Bandwidth really isn't an issue and storage shouldn't be either. You can just update your nameserver to the IP of mine, I can handle the hosts and stuff. Just send a mail to mail(at)dragonapps(dot)org and we can get something set up.

Alright Ghorthalon, well, you also got a forum email fro me. Before I knew the [email protected], I sent you a forum email and my email to [email protected] not only didn't send because that email is probably not active, but, laughably, it accidentally got sent to none other than Humanware tech support!

Lol! Imagine Notetaker hack for the notetakers, where you're fighting all the Humanware family of notetakers, and the last battle will be with a Braillenote Touch!

Ishan, problem is we still can't use Mason's server for our purposes. Because guess what he's using? That's right, Jollyleaf, the very same one we're using Using that on another server will only run us into the same problem we ran into before. So for our purposes, I'd go with Ghorthalon's server because then we can run on a server that's completely independent, and free from constraints from any commercial hosting provider.

I didn't receive a message from you, Jack, or I'm not looking in the right place. I replied about the agarchive.net deal via email, I did receive that. Does it even say my mail address on my website? I should probably go fix that...

Agarchive.net is now on the new server.
All files have been uploaded, and should work as per usual.
There is a period of downtime when switching servers for the internet to catch up, so if you see a page claiming technical difficulties instead of the main archive, try again in a few hours.

Please note that email may or may not function for a short while while I continue migrating accounts. If its urgent (and the site not coming up isn't urgent for a few days yet), you can contact me directly at
jpcarnemolla(@)gmail(.)com

For those of you who had ftp access, please make sure you can access the full archive via your browser before uploading files. If you can't, your submissions or updates will be posted to the old server, which probably means they'll never be seen or heard from again.
