Thank you. :)

Edit: It seems I'm unable to upload .7z files anymore. I get the following error message, when I try:

Code: Select all

Error: Selected file extension is not supported!
The file size doesn't matter. Browser is Firefox 40.0.2.

I have to admit that I don't know when it worked the last time, so I cannot tell whether it's a recent problem.

I've added .7z to the allowed upload list so hopefully it should work now. :)

Just in case you were unaware, SS_T, xdownloads.co.uk seems to be down at the moment.

Set up a redirect so that links to xdownloads files go to the onedrive backup, unfortunately it is not directly to the correct file.

Best I can do at the moment.

Got tomorrow off so I might get some work done on rebuilding.

It is sad that hackers have nothing better to do with their lives than to mess up the best download (and archival) site the X community has ever had. :(

I hope that restoring the site will not be overly painful. In any case, thanks for all that you do, SS_T.

Here is my development site: http://x1tp.com/development_site/

I'm upgrading to the latest versions of all the components which I wouldn't/couldn't do before due to breaking links and other things. But as i'm building the website from scratch I will try and get it as secure and quick as possible.

So unfortunately when I get the real site online none of the links on this forum to the specific files will work.

While this is indeed unfortunate, if you can compile a list with script/mod names, their direct download links and maybe even a link to their topics, it should be fairly easy to replace the download links, although it may take a little while.

Testing bbcode that the site is putting out

It took a while to work out the new file structure but I seem to have coded it alright.

Good progress so far.

Do you think that you will be able to recover the file descriptions, author, download count, and other meta data? It would be a shame to lose all that.

Is it safe to assume that you had no backup of the site at all? Even an old one might be helpful?

All that information should mostly be all there now (apart from images) and hopeully you can see and edit the files you have uploaded. I do have a few back ups of the site but i'm having to pick bits out and integrate them in the new one.

I think some files which did originally have descriptions / author don't now due to have special characters in the filename {@$ ect. Because when I re uploaded them the new jdownloads component stripped all the special characters (and spaces?) away from the filename which means I could not link the old database to them.

Trying to download the simple and small No Fog mod (all of them actually) and can only download the No.Fog.Original.View.Distance.X3AP but not No.Fog.Original.View.Distance.X3TC or No_Fog_2.5comp_Fake_Patch_V1.0.
Why is there a permission to download for one file but not the other two?

I don't know why downloading them files where a problem, i've changed some settings now. Previously you download directly off the server which is better for large files but now over php script.

Hopefully fixed the problem.

Thanks for reporting the problem.

Either I'm doing something wrong and it's the client's side fault or something is going on the server's side. I'm registered and activated through email and these are the results from 1 minute ago:

http://postimg.org/image/kctczp5fn
http://postimg.org/image/kbjf6a3lv/

One is OK, the other 2 not. Strange and peculiar for me at least.

Edit: I got the files I wanted, but not through your site. I copy pasted the Skydrive Download Mirror BBCode you had for NoFogAP and accessed the onedrive file collection you have, and downloaded it directly from there, bypassing your website. The problem of your website still exists.

So my suggestion to everyone who have difficulties on your website is to go to the respective OneDrive or GoogleDrive directly and get the files from there.

I can confirm Bambacha's problem with downloading files. It's also not limited to this single mod, but affects others as well. The ones in the jDownloads Latest list for example.

Sorry been a busy couple of days. I can't see why its got that problem as in the database they all have the same access, will keep looking.

The admin access level shows the download as normal that's why I didn't notice it, but the registered level which I was not expectng has the problem aswell as public.

Not really a fix but...

Think I fixed the problem, I just changed the 'who has access' php code. Although this means that I have no special control for changing who has access to the downloads. Now everyone should be able to view the available files.

Don't need it so its a quick fix solution.
