Eh that makes sense. I dunno, its just that I like to keep organized. I kept wanting to just throw every wad in /Wads, but the way I have it now, it just looks better.

I gotta ask, what's the difference between that link above and http://[bad site]/wads , besides the obvious?

Is there one you'd prefer to have linked to over the other?

I have checked some of URLs on the first link, half of them is a junk or unreachable anymore, but a few was added too. Thanks!

I see they have different WADs, for instance, http://[bad site]/wads/ hasn't any GVH: NS WADs while http://servers.[bad site]/wads/ has. Added the first too.

http://[bad site]/wads/ is hosted on another server and is going to be discontinued very soon.

Thanks. I'll remove it from my list then. :)

Hm, I will have to check all my URLs again, I will start to add yours as well!

I've been able to trick GetWAD into using my site's list as a master list; others can feel free to use it; simply edit your getwad.ini to point the master URL to http://camoy.sdf.org/master :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's doing this, haha.

if you want this functionality, you're going to need to code a script that fetches WADs from your directory tree on the server, which really shouldn't be too hard

I'm right in assuming that if WadSeeker gets an application/zip or application/octet-stream, it'll assume that it's either the WAD/PK3 in question or a ZIP holding the WAD/PK3 (although how would you know which for a PK3)?

I believe Wadseeker only looks at the extensions, but you can make a script that puts the file as an "attachment" with the proper file name. Wadhost and dogsoft do this.

Acutally I looked it up, and there's a dedicated filetype MIME for .WAD and .PK3: application/x-doom.

Eh, well I don't know shit about all that, plus I might not be able to do that. My HTTP runs off a Friends Server, and I might be running out of space soon, what with all the wads.. (though last time I checked the folder itself was nearly 4.9GB) yea i know, low space, but what can I do?? I have no $$$ to get my own server.

If anything though, I might sooner or later. Anyhow, this is pretty cool. I will try to grab these url's and try them out, since at night times, the net is stable enough to stay connected..

4.9GB? Psh. :P My wads.floorchan.org and wads.crisisresponseunit.com sites have over 50GB of WADs.

As long as the amount of data is ok with your webhost (whoever owns rfc1337.net), then you'll be ok. From what I recall, rfc1337 is hosted on a VPS so there's no limit to how much data you can host beyond that except for the VPS provider's quota for your VPS plan.

If that sounds a bit over your head, then don't worry about it, whoever actually owns the rfc1337 server will let you know what going on, if he/she is a responsible server admin. :)
