I believe that can officially be called a bingo

Not sure if it going to make sense, and I will not elaborate, even in a PM Raum but the next words I mean

Sorry Home Slice

Any chance I can get a re-direct?

Yeah exactly, wth aren't we just redirecting??

I think my original PAD file has the wrong D/L info in it. The newer ACSS file D/L is at a different address.

The PAD file directs to: <Primary_Download_URL>http://downloads.alleg.net/allegsetup_3 ... wnload_URL>


the game D/L is at: http://freespacecombatgame.com/

It would be much easier to have a re-direct from the original D/L site than to have me re-sub to all the software sites that I have already submitted to with a new PAD file.

I will however change the code in the PAD file if I can get permission from someone to do so.

/ I'm going to halt submissions until then as IKMK has alerted me to this change.

Or, we could just replace the old download with the newer acss one, and keep the file name the same. Much simpler than setting up redirects, wot wot?

Keep up the good work Raum!

See, that's why you big shots get paid the big $$!

You're wrong:

PAD-File:
http://downloads.alleg.net/allegsetup_300.exe

http://getsetup.alleg.net uses round robin between the following hosts:
german-borg.de
freespacecombatgame.com

The downloads.alleg.net one is not in round robin, because it has limited bandwidth.

Everything is fine as it is.

You find the same file on every webserver:

german-borg.de = freespacecopmbatgame.com = downloads.alleg.net

This is the only valid PAD-File you should ever use and which one I update:
http://downloads.alleg.net/PAD/FreeAllegiance.xml

The download websites only need an URL for the PAD-File, everything else will be automated. Once the URL is within the database, a robot will visit the PAD-file hosted on downloads.alleg.net. Once the robot discovers a change, it will apply the changes (new description, new installer, whatever) to it's own download page. Even if we relocate the PAD file someday, we will be able to announce it via that automated system.

But that only works, if download sites are aware of the unique PAD-file:
http://downloads.alleg.net/PAD/FreeAllegiance.xml

Someone added the installer to these sites, which aren't get updated automatically, that's why they're out of date, they aren't aware of the PAD-file.

Ohhh, I get it now, thanks!
