Better late than never - Q3 Map Archive Torrents

Post by Foo »

Download the Q3 Map Archive here!

Hope this works

Okay. I'm uploading the Q3 Map archive, disc by disc, as a bittorrent download. This is the first of about 13 discs

The CDs have an alphabetical order but they're not being uploaded in that order. This is 'G-L Disc 1', and it's 700Mb

Bittorrent?

For those of you unfamiliar with bittorrent, it's a free, legal filesharing system which shares a single item at a time and is capable of stupidly high speed downloads. To be truly effective, bittorrent downloaders are expected to leave the download open for a while after it has finished, so that they share the file out to other downloaders.

How to download

First, grab a copy of a bittorrent application. Bittorrent is just a protocol and there are loads of programs out there which can make use of it. Examples include Azureus (http://azureus.sourceforge.net - the best program IMO), ABC (http://abc.sourceforge.net) and shadows (http://www.bittornado.com/)

Once you have a program which can download torrents, you need to get hold of the .torrent file for this download. It's available here: http://82.71.110.84:6969/
Open that file in your torrent program and it'll start to download!

What's in this download?

Big props to LvL (http://www.planetquake.com/lvl) for this download, specifically Tig for uploading the entire LvL back-catalogue to me. Top bloke.

EDIT: Oh, one very important note: This download will initially be slow. But if enough people start to download it and leave it uploading when it's finished, it'll pick up speed in no time flat. Trust me on this.

And if you're having any major problems with downloading, post problems with bittorrent in T&T.

DOWNLOAD: HERE

This upload and the ones to follow in the coming weeks are like 18 months too late, and for that I apologise. I hope those of you who were interested in these files all that time ago still have an interest in this archive.

We stumbled upon one of your maps whilst looking for new possibilities for the Jolt DML actually. I had to check to make sure it was yours actually heh.

Anyway good job Foo... its gonna be a pain in the ass to upload, and I hope enough people leech/seed it.

Nice one Foo...I can hear my cable modem screaming in dread and anguish even now...

BTW is there a way to make the Q3 installation hold more than the (IMO too small) number of custom maps in its memory? Sucks to keep having to remove ones when I want to try new maps.

I don't wanna sound like a dick, but custom map servers are a dime a dozen these days. Even if you do manage to come across one, chances are 90% of these maps won't be used on it.

That's not why I'm torrenting it. I have an interest in preserving the terabytes of free media that's sitting out there. I mean there must be nearly 1 million custom levels which have been released for PC games over the years. People spent time on them, and yet when the websites that hold them dissapear, the work is lost as well. Seems like a shame to me.

Also compared to people who download every app and game from the net and burn it to disc just in case they ever need it, this isn't half as anal :)

BTW 'Dime a dozen' means they are plentiful. You used the term to say they were rare.

It's a nice gesture no doubt, I just wish there was a server that hosted the more rare maps. Most usually host the same stuff that other servers host. I want to see some truely rare maps being hosted, those that never got any online play time before.

About the dime comment, well I'm dumb, what can you say. :)

That's nice, can you guarantee a server would run them? :)
