Dark Forces Webring

The Katarns CO, Janet Skyy, has set up a Dark Forces Webring!

I've signed DF-21 up already (see the foot of this page or the top of the links page), and I'd suggest that all owners of DF sites do the same- or I'll send the Gammoreans round... ;)

FTP / Downloads problem
Posted by Fenwar on Wednesday, March 14, 2001 - 17:21 (EST)

At present it seems there is a problem logging on to our anonymous FTP archives. This means that none of the files can be downloaded. I've contacted tech support and they are working to resolve the problem ASAP. I'll let you know of any further updates.

FTP Workaround
Posted by Fenwar on Saturday, March 17, 2001 - 4:31 (EST)

As a temporary fix to the FTP problem, I've moved the files to the DF-21 WWW directory tree. They are now publicly available, although the links on the site won't work until anon FTP is restored.

You'll have to manually type in the URL of the file you want for now. The directories are below http://www.df-21.net/files/, instead of ftp://df-21.net/pub/.

So to download Dark Siege 2, which was at ftp://df-21.net/pub/missions/dsiege2.zip you would type

http://www.df-21.net/files/missions/dsiege2.zip

Obviously the directory isn't accessible to your FTP client. The directories will be moved back to the FTP server as soon as it comes back on line, thus restoring the links in the files section.

Apologies for the inconvenience!

Mail me if you're still having difficulty, with details of what you're trying to download.


FTP is back online!
Posted by Fenwar on Tuesday, March 20, 2001 - 13:11 (EST)

OK, all files links should now be operational once more!

A couple of new files will be added shortly; the directories have been moved back under ftp://df-21.net/pub/ .

Let me know straight away if you have any further difficulties.
