Missing OXPs

Hello again. I've been gone quite a while, and just recently started playing again for fun. I use to have several of my own oxps, but lost them several years ago. I don't know how, but I no longer can find the files for them. I have managed to download several of them from the oxp list, but a few remain missing. If anyone has copies of the OXPs listed bellow, I would sure appreciate a copy of them.

Solar Wing
Feramborini
Eruptor
SideShooter
Boomarang
SunBird
Petra
Sangreli Trader
Mandotech WarBirds
Persephone

It's not a huge deal if they are gone for good, but it would be fun to get them all back again. Having a good time playing again. Thanks.

Welcome back again!

I only tried two (Feramborini & Eruptor). Both have working links to Box downloads from their respective wiki pages.

I’ve a “Welcome Back” pm with recent news on it but need a better internet connection before I can send it to you…

Those Box links worked for you? They don’t for me, and I have tried several times. That’s weird. Oh well, if you get set up with a better connection, keep me in mind. :)

Hello,
I managed to download Feramborini and put it here (It will be deleted after few weeks and it is HTTP, not httpS) http://download.gilhad.cz/oolite/Feramborini1.1.oxp.zip
I had no luck with any other on the box

Hey man, thanks a lot, but for some reason I can't seem to open that link. I use Linux, but I'm not sure that should make any difference.

Oh, another ship OXP to add to the missing list is the VTBSships.

Man, thanks a lot. I always had a soft spot for the rubber chicken. I think it's one that I might have designed an interior to fit. Thanks.

I tried download it before I posted the link (on Linux, Firefox) and it worked. I can see 7 attempts from same IP there later (17:09), first was 200 OK (asked whole file and send it all, 300857bytes - same as my test), next 6 was 206 (browser asked part of file, server returned part of file, half was 1 byte, other half was 286658 bytes) and nothing other unusual. And one access from another IP much later, with 200 OK (23:36, 300857bytes).

But if you got it other way, then it is OK :)

Gilhad, your link worked ok. I’m not sure what I did differently, but it works for me now. Thanks. :)

Well, this request is solved as I was able to recover all my OXPs. I finally tried replacing the www, with app (as suggested) on the missing ship OXP links, and bingo. Thanks to those who helped me on this. :D

Now it is time to polish them a bit and then register them to the expansions catalog. Then you can get them installed with a mouselick. :-)

I don’t understand. They are already on the OXP list page.
