Morrowind

File upload size limit increased to 1Gb (1024Mb)

  • Comment
As video games get more advanced and the modding scene continues to mature the quality, quantity and size of mods grows with it.

Up until today the file size limit for file uploads has been 300Mb as this size was deemed appropriate for almost all modifications that weren't massive texture replacers. I think that situation has now changed. Bigger and more advanced modifications are released regularly now and in response to requests from various mod authors I've decided to up the file size limit to 1Gb, or 1024Mb, per file.

I've tested the system out with a 975Mb file that got uploaded without a hitch. If you experience any issues uploading large files let me know. Remember that upload speeds are generally much slower than your download speed and can take a very long time depending on your connection speed and how far you are from the main web servers (that are hosted in south-east England).

Please remember to properly compress your archives still so they take up as little space as possible.

Users of TESNexus: the hard-drive storing the mods for TESNexus is almost full to capacity. I have 3 new HDD's on their way that should arrive next week and be installed towards the end of the week. Please do any spring-cleaning on your files and remove any old files that are no longer necessary for your mod; your main file download counters will not be affected if you delete files from your page. Thank you!

    It would be great if i could migrate my upload packages from one of my fallout3nexus upload sites to another of my fallout3nexus upload sites. Reuploading stuff only to reorganize already uploaded material would be unnecessary.

    I would love it if the image filesize for subscribers could be upped to 2MB. So many times I just miss the current cutoff.

    Ok I think I found the problem. I'd changed the server settings properly but I'd forgotten to restart the service on the NVNexus server so the changes hadn't taken affect. It should now be working for you!


    OJO BUENO has taken a stab at uploading a 500mb file on the NVNexus and it uploaded to the site so it looks like that is all it needed. In fact, I'm actually downloading it right now without an issue.

    Thank you! We were finally able to have a single DAZIP location up on a 678MB mod! You guys are da bomb! I went through and took any old/outdated versions off my personal mods. Every little bit helps I guess. Freakin' SWEET!

    Haha Dark0ne this might be the least controversial thing you've done, everyone agrees ha ha

    (I didn't mean for that to come off as an insult in case it seems like it...)

    Dude you rock!!!

    I think I'll crank out a few new creatures first before updating again, some people get mad when I update to soon and they have to download a monster huge file again.

    again thanks for the quick response man now the world is perfect

    I'll do a test upload now and let you know how it goes. I've looked at the code and it seems right.

    I tried on 3 computers in my house and I could only get the under 300 to go up.
