Hi, guys.
What happened with the Famous Planets OXP? I can't download it from wiki

Link's broken

I’m getting a ‘user out of bandwidth’ message.
It's Lestradae who hosts that oxp.

It'll probably reset on the 1st of October, so suggest trying again then.

While building my new OXP webportal: http://www.snabbtorkande.com/pagrooveOXP/index.html
I noticed this also. Also Oldships 2010 is not accessible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I pm'd Lestradae about it. If it stays this way I'm gonna search for alternate webspace. Cmdr Cheyd offered me some space so I can use this for an alternative.

PAGroove's Masterpiece is available again!

I have removed the 200+ MB of extraneous files that were floating around in it, fixed the deprecated function warning, and put the Read_Me and similar files into the parent directory so it's more Mac-friendly. If I forgot to do something that needed fixing, or screwed something else up, please let PA know so he can yell at me via PM.

Download it here!

That's not strictly true - you've chosen not to make it smaller using the same methodology that's been applied to YAH - i.e. break it up in to "per Galaxy" packs.

Not sure why, given how fantastic this OXP is, that you'd want to limit potential users to those with substantial and v. stable broadband connections to download it in the first place.

that's canny logic actually, if you're in G1, there's little point in loading up 7 other galazies worth of textures etc.

Well technically I can split up the packges in: base system, texture set G1 and texture set G2. I don't know if there are many users who are then would download it. Should I do that?
