Yes, this is a widely requested feature. I'm all for it if I can find someone with decent Internet to upload it. Tremulous is only ₁₀₀ MiB. Unvanquished is upwards of 500 MiB.

We could try to host it on unvanquished.net and use some sort of QoS to favor the game (master) servers running there. Maybe it's also possible to get a second interface on that server so we can separate the downloads from the speed-critical applications.

Yeah, I can seed as well.

Bandwidth isn't the issue...my upload speed is. But, I just got an idea...I'll build the zips on our server and then I'll download it from sf. I could probably do this.

If we seed Unvanquished on a reputable torrent tracker, we can actually probably increase exposure to us.

I can upload; I'm getting _2MB/s upload atm, so I could upload a linux version overnight. I could also seed torrents.

I don't have any major problems with uploading the Mac builds. Having the installer is convenient for people who don't want to download large packages. I'm not sure how difficult it would be to improve our installer so that that it worked for most people however.

Hi, in the last few days I have recommened this game to 3 people, for example my 9 year old nephew. (Virus or Forty, pls, accept my apologies, i know my nephew ruined your game XDD)
Look, there is a link that contains a zip file which when uncompressed, contains multiple executables for both systems, Linux and Windows, you dont need to take any installer, you just unzip and run the game, and no matter if you're on Windows or linux.
..
They do not even know if they like the game or not, just can not download it!!

Pls, Consider this problem.

?? Ruined the game how so?

I can't host the individual/zipped files on my google site because it limits total to 100 mb only.

we could also use torrent for that I can seed first few days after release and after that on request.

good idea... although this game lacks players to seed with...

Also, i can't seed because my internet is restricted [download/upload TOTAL = 50 gb/month] and i need to use efficently since my brother tends to use quite a lot.
I usually set the upload limit to 1 kb/s so that doesn't help either.

As the person with the fastest connection in this game, I volunteer to upload anything that can be ever uploaded.

He built a bunch of teslas and repeaters in the middle of nowhere. It took me ₂ minutes to clean up after him but it didn't matter much since it was a bot game.

My internet connection is kickass and I'd be happy to upload things.
