Read This Before Posting A File - Page 2

I seem to have a problem with size like Natelox...at last I've finished my Patriot Park (which is about 900 some-odd KB by itself), and when I zipped it, it came to around 496 KB, which seems to be way over the limit...

Should I try Andy Hodgson's way (though mine is significantly larger), or is the limit absolutely 100 kb? If so, does anyone know of any other ways to shrink the file down (aside from deleting coasters and stuff lol

)? This park has been on a waiting list for quite some time and it seems like many people want it, so if I could get some help on how to post it here, I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks!

Hang on... are the rules different now Speed Zone is up? Before you were allowed to post links IN THE BODY OF POSTS. I am thinking of posting links to a zip or jpg file, not so much someone's site. 100kb is nowhere near enough UNLESS you are allowed to link (or post 'copy and paste it' if your on GeoCities, Tripod etc. ) Don't get me wrong, I love Speed Zone it is much better organized and easier to find what you want. I just find saying 'attatchments only' very bad especially since attatched zip files very often fail for me.

We want to do this because if the server that is hosting that person's site crashes (even briefly) then the site link won't work, and we want to make it so that the files will stay up as long as Thrillnetwork is. Please keep to this rule.

ok. btw, can you tell me why my downloading attatched files doesn't work. it saves them as a .php file (whatever that is)

I am clueless why this is happening. We make sure all attachments are zipped, as it is a requirement. My best guess is that for some strange reason your computer is downloading the page the attachment is on, seeing that this site is built with PHP.

One question, are you running XP Home or Pro, as this may be a problem. I have noticed several complaints about downloads and installs on systems using XP OS's, saying that they were getting faulty downloads and sometimes error messages.

No I run Windows 98. I will disable GoZilla (download accelerator program) and see if that helps.

Disabling GoZilla worked!!! I managed to download Coal Harbour (by Natelox) now that's over with, I can finally enjoy Speed Zone!

If a piece of land has like 10 completely themed coaster and no guest-accessable paths, does that belong to track or park x-change?

If it is a themed coaster, then that is a track. If it is a small park, then that it is a park.

My real question is "where does collection of themed coasters go to?"
