Title: New fast mirror for Planeshift! (client .3.18)
Post by: ThomPhoenix on May 04, 2006, 01:20:02 am
I contacted Willem van der Poel from the FTP crew at the Technical University in Twente (Netherlands) if he wanted to put the latest version of Planeshift on their public FTP, and he granted my request. That means Planeshift will now have a new fast mirror, it's a university FTP, so there's more than enough bandwith (understatement).
I quickly tested the mirror and I downloaded with 400 kb/sec, with a spike at 600 kb/sec, so yeah, that's fast  ;D

Don't thank me, all thanks go to Willem van der Poel and the University!

This is the FTP folder from Planeshift:
http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/planeshift/

And this is the direct link:
http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/planeshift/client/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.exe

This is the direct link for the Linux version:
http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/planeshift/linux/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin

This is the direct link for the Mac version:
http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/planeshift/mac/PlaneShift_CB_Mac_018.dmg

Some people have reported download times under 5 minutes, so Have fun!  \\o//

*Mirror updated with version .18 thanks to Robbert Muller!

Going to add the Linux and Mac binaries too?

I tried that, but both the torrent and the files that are already mirrored on links, shown on the download page, are either unavailable or down.
The torrent gives no speed at all, which is really frustrating, thus i can't get the files...

If they could add both Mac as Linux clients,
we all would be grateful  ;)

Get the linux client from there if you would like to mirror it. :)

if you need to get  ahold of the linux version so it can be uploaded, try the link on my server above
Title: Re: New fast mirror for Planeshift!
Post by: Rawh on May 09, 2006, 06:28:52 pm
Its being downloaded from the link above as we speak. Steady speed, about 200kb/s, very nice!

ETA for the file on our FTP would be around 30 minutes from posting this.
Direct link towards the bin file for linux users:

ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/planeshift/linux/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.014b.bin

Have fun  ::|

It's a lot faster actually, i'm at 950 kb/sec and still climbing. There is plenty of bandwith your speed really only depends on your own ISP, will 15 be mirrored here aswell??

Perhaps its an idea to get this mirror on the download page aswell?

What a beautiful connection !! Just started, it's 400+ and climbing fast!  ;D
Hmm - real fast - time to log in and write this - now at 40%+  :woot: Can't wait !!

Many MANY thanks to the Willem van der Poel and the University  \\o// \\o//

Why are you downloading an out of date client?  A new one is due to be released at any moment and a quick look at the forum would have told you this

I know it's an out of date client, but fast for one is not fast for all; recognition and kudos are due to those willing to assist us  :D, and besides - like you - we are all eager to explore all the new areas ASAP, so testing the link is sorta natural dont you think?

Tested it and got full speeds.

Good job.

Once .15 is released I will take up contact with Willem van der Poel and notify him about it.

Post by: Mordaan on July 02, 2006, 06:51:48 am
Sounds good.  I was getting about 280kB/s .   :thumbup:
Of course if we all try to use this once .15 comes out, it may be a different story.  But its always nice to have options.

Post by: Idoru on July 02, 2006, 09:50:17 am
my favourite thing is the fact it supports resuming failed downloads, great for ppl (like me) with a connection that has a tendency to drop out at the most inconvenient of times  :thumbup:
Title: Re: New fast mirror for Planeshift!
Post by: alabamaangyl on July 02, 2006, 10:31:54 am
Regarding resumable downloads: If that's true, it's also going to be great for those who have download limits, or have parents who limit their online time. I don't have those problems myself now, but I know what it's like for those who do.

Works for me, constant topspeed.

with my 640 kB/sec it needed just over 7 mins. Nice one.
Hope i can test it soon on the new release.  >o)

This game is getting better al the time and this all for nada.
keep up the good work.

/me reads all the download times here and is thankfull for his own connection. :P its just under 5 minutes for me, but then, i bet you guys don't even pay near half as much as i do to my isp, and lines like this are the ONLY ones that my bandwith even begins to pay off.

Ze new files have sjuzt arrived!

Hehe, well here's the new file, from which i received a begging responds from Tom to host it:  ;D ;D
ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/planeshift/client/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.015.exe

And here's an md5sum for the linux geeks who want to verify their copy:
ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/planeshift/client/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.015.md5

No idea if it matches the one in the torrent, though i got the idea its working (at least it did on this part).

Kind Regards,

Thanks Rawh for hosting it (got a constant 1MB/s)  :D

And if the ftp is at his limit try this one:

http://xrl.us/pswin  <-- 0.3.015 windows client
http://xrl.us/pswinmd5 <-- the md5sum for it

Too bad that there is no torrent seeding (for now).

Nice downloading folks.

Yours,

Link to the UNOFFICIAL linux binary (0.3.015)

http://xrl.us/pslinux

MD5SUM: 1ba347b77709097954a7bb840d50f54c  PlaneShift_CBV0.3.015.bin
(http://xrl.us/pslinuxmd5)

Thanks to Xordan for making the 'unofficial' installer

Perhaps Rawh want to host it, too?   :)

Yours,
     Nill

PS It seems the server disconnects for a short time at 80% so it can interrupt your download. Please use a download manager that is able to continue downloads ;)

EDIT: The linux binary is considered unofficial. Here comes a post from Xordan that should explain it:
Quote
An official package will be released this month containing all the correct art, along with various bug fixes. Source tarballs will also be released at this time.

NOTE THAT THIS PACKAGE IS INCOMPLETE, BUT WILL ALLOW YOU TO PLAY TO SOME EXTENT.

You will be able to update anything that this package doesn't contain from the updater once it has all the new content!

Zen, stop posting. 

1)  It's been said many times over now that it will go up and down as after a new client release, it is flakey as we as testers find bugs that cause it to crash.  These bugs are then fixed in time, and the server gains more stability.  Just be patient.

2)  There doesn't need to be multiple threads made/posts about this issue, so if it crashes, you don't need to inform everyone.  You don't need to reply to a post stating its down, and you certainly don't need to create new threads every time it goes down.

3)  This isn't even an appropriate thread to announce that to begin with.   X-/

I have a mirror up at Stockholm University now at:
ftp://ftp.su.se/pub/mirrors/Planeshift/

As it happends, it will also expose the same files over rsync, in case someone would like to rsync the files instead at:

rsync://rsync.it.su.se/Planeshift/

I have immense troubles getting both Mainline BitTorrent 4.4 and another cli BT client to connect to the tracker for days, even
though my Azareus at home could do it, so I can't seed it for now, but I'll keep trying. Perhaps going for a multitracker .torrent file
might help if the tracker is too loaded to answer queries? I'm very sure its not a FW issue here at least.

Seems like Az only picks the Linux/win versions up, over the DHT trackerless thingie, so there definately is some kind of issue
with the tracker at laanx.fragnetics.com, unless the admin there dont want people to seed this with non-Az clients?
