Are you going to have one big file that has all the sets available in one download too? That would be a great idea if you have the server space.

If someone goes and downloads every ship set, they use the same amount of bandwidth. Having a compilation file just makes it more convenient for them. And I doubt that too many people would be downloading it each month. Certainly noone on dialup. |

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
yea i am upfor that...
the full file zipped is about 112 megs 118,179,443 bytes)
The pain would be the updating of the full zip...
But it is a good idea

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
Yeah, that would suck. Make it a policy to do it once a month, not with every set uploaded. Keep a list of all the sets in the compilation available, so people can see what is in it before downloading. There is a program called TreePrint that works very well for listing the contents of a directory and such.
If it is only 112 MBs, that is not as big a problem as 500 MBs. Do you really think you will use 12 GB of bandwidth a month anyways?
Bah, editing the file size before my post is made.
