Most importantly I have adopted a new category based system for organising the uploaded files that is changable by the owners of the files. There are five file categories.
- Main files. Files the user actually needs in order for the file to operate properly
- Updates. Files that are used to update from an old version of the file to a newer version.
- Optional files. Files that might improve or expand on the user experience but aren't necessary in order for the file to work properly.
- Old versions. Out-dated versions of the file in question.
- Miscellaneous. Files that don't fit into the other categories.
Files are now organised in the files tab based on these categories.
The way in which the files are sorted has also changed. All files are now sorted in alphabetical order within their respective categories and the "primary file" system has been removed. If you wish to have your uploaded files shown in a specific order then I'd recommend using a number and hyphen system. For example "1 - Main file" , "2 - Next file".
Lastly all new files uploaded to the site from here-on-in will have a date stamp placed on them so all users can see when the file was uploaded. At the moment all files uploaded before this point will have a non-applicable "N/A" indicator next to them as dates were not recorded before this point. I shall be looking at the viability of cross-referencing the first download dates of files and using this as the upload date for files over the coming days.
As a legacy feature all currently uploaded files have been placed into the "Main files" category and ordered by primary file first, and then by alphabetical order. It is recommended authors organise their file uploads as soon as possible to avoid any possible confusion. This can be achieved by clicking the "Files" link on the Manage Your Files page and choosing the "Edit file" option under each file.

I guess we're going to have to get used to this as we're down to 1 public server only!

Then will check Dark Woods Weapons and Armor as soon as this one finishes.
Edit at 02:18pm...first one downloaded with no problems, a little slow but that is expected with over 900 users on the server.
Downloading Dark Woods now....seems to be ok.
Edit 02:30pm, downloaded without a problem.

Sorry about the lack of info. It's TESNexus (I haven't tried Fallout3Nexus). The following recent files have had comments made under the 'Comments' tabs:
R18PN 02 - Lingerie Set for HGEC
Dark Woods Weapons and Armor 05
Lycanthrope 2 (My new mod, but I've removed it for the present)
I received a PM drawing my attention to the problem and have checked out a couple of downloads myself to confirm. There may be more files affected, but I haven't checked.

Any advice?
Search by uploader would be a nice feature too. There's a few people I keep an eye on and the tracking system on here isn't very clean, or maybe set up an alert system so you can favorite an uploader and it'll alert you when they've posted something new or updated something you've downloaded.
Meant more along the lines of searching by user in the category box, which would make it a little bit faster to search by user, and set up a message style alert for the alerts, like the one that shows we got new messages. So it'll show under the new messages or somewhere convenient, something like "1 new tracked user upload!" or something like that.
