Who has Wright's Facepack??

[Deltadog]

I will be happy to upload this to rapidshare, but have no idea how to do so.  I will look into it, but if anyone with experience with this site will provide directions, it will be appreciated.

Should I use Cogent, Level(3), Telia what what is he differance?

For Rapidshare, you have to have an account (money). However, there are other sites that you can post it to - I'll give you a few links in a bit.

Probably one of your best bets: http://www.megaupload.com/

I'll d/l and then upload to my Rapidshare account, and that will be good for at least a half year.

I just wanted to say that no you don't have to have an account with rapidshare. It's Free

Host your files with RapidShare FOR FREE!

But yea Megaupload is good too.

[SittingDuck]

No doubt?  Free?  I thought you had to have one.... Hmmmm - well then do Megaupload or Rapidshare - whatever works best, I guess.  I'll upload just so we have multiple links available.

I also have a ton of goodies to upload later, either tonight or tomorrow.  A ton of 'em... [;)]

I am uploading the file to Megaupload.com at this time. It is uploading much slower than it downloaded when I got it, so I guess that is due the speed of Megaupload. It is going to take over 2 hours. At this time there is 1 hour 28 minutes. I will advise when if completes. I assume that I will be given an address when it is finished.

Uploading goes at about 1/3 to 1/2 of downloading.  If I have a huge file, I usually do it right when I crash for the night.

The size of the photo files IS an issue. I have a set of real-faces that encompasses several different compilations, and now has some 12,000 photos. 
 
Putting this on YouSendIt or Rapidshare would be a nightmare for anyone with less than a cable net connection. 

[SittingDuck]

True enough.  That is a massive file.  The face packs, when added up, are substantial.

What's going on here? Are Padres Fan's servers getting overwhelmed?   To be honest, I'd think that Al is spending a bundle to keep his site going.  This has become an essential PS support site, so we gotta keep it alive. 

Be honest with us, man. What's it gonna take to keep your site online and handle the traffic?   I'm willing to make a donation if it would help.

The upload to Megaupload ran for a little over 2 hours.  With 31 minutes left and 79.4Mb of 98.7 Mb uploaded it just stopped working.  I then tried rapidshare since Al indicated that it was free. 173 minutes later the file uploaded.  The link is shown below.  I hope for your sakes that this site downloads much faster than it accepts uploads.  When I downloaded the file, it took something like 17 minutes.  Good luck, hope you'all can get the file from here.

It is not Padres server that is apparently causing the problem. His site apparently does not have the file, just a link the the site where it is stored.

That's correct, I just link to it. I *could* host it, but I don't think I could afford the hit to my bandwidth. I already upgraded from 2GB to 4GB of monthly bandwidth since I was already doing 2GB a month with popularity of the PureSim site, and if I hosted the facepack, only 20 monthly downloads (its a 99MB file) would eat up the additional bandwidth I got. Besides, I'd rather save the space for future things like skins, addin's, etc.

KG, thanks for the concern. I don't want anyone to worry about it though. I maintain other pages such as a photo blog for my family and a multiplayer football league website, so the money i pay in yearly fees is not just for the PureSim site.

I'll work with Shaun to resolve the WrightWing issue and find a good permament home for it. Just give us some time.

[SittingDuck]

Thanks, Deltadog!

I got the file and I'll upload it to a few other file storage spots.  That should help with some longevity.  It is just too large to store on someone's server, realistically.

I am amazed at all the images that are in there that I can't get ahold of anywhere else!  It's awesome.

Maybe someone could help me. I just downloded 'Wright's Facepack'. I unzipped it to my Puresim Baseball 2007\mods\faces folder. In the folder I placed the photos into the correct folder, i.e. 1900s, 1910s, 1920, etc.
I then went to the options page and clicked on the Auto-assign player photos button. When it finished it showed that there were 0 photos assigned. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong??

Did you just download the file ? Nobody else here except DeltaDog has been able to download it.
