Nexus Speeds

Yeah' date=' I can get to the mod's page, but no info and no files. This might be a good time for the community to diversify itself and spread the love of TES modding to other sites.[/quote']

It's definitely looking that way, TES Alliance and a couple others are gaining some major popularity, especially with the likes of UKSP being hosted there.

I thought USKP was hosted at Dark Creations?

I found a ton of my AV Packs on TES Alliance before they started making their way over to Nexus, and Dark Creations is a good place to see some larger projects that are in development, I think USKP is hosted there too.

I think the only issues with moving from Nexus is the tracking system implemented in NMM and MO.

 

Not an issue if you look up the changes on a daily basis, though.

is nexus currently down? i only get "Fatal error: Call to a member function SetLocal() on a non-object in /home/skyrim/public_html/Core/BBoC.pinc on line 3299"

It appears to be intermittent.  They are likely still sorting out the issues from the Dawnguard release and their partial deployment of their new downloading framework.

 

Diversification from Nexus would be great for redundancies, but fragmentation also has some drawbacks (for instance, having multiple sites to check could discourage some of the more casual modders).  Of course, there's also the issue of infrastructure; I don't know that any other sites have a comparable backbone, and as we just saw even a robust site like Nexus can be knocked around by the size of the community.

well i currently track 390 mods (all of the mods i've ever been interested in and downloaded). to get my NMM tracker up to date has lasted me right know 2 hours due to crippled nexus servers.

 Wow, Nexus is actually working awesome today. Maybe they finally completed their system/code upgrades.

[Kelmych]

I'm still seeing several hour or longer delays before a new file can be downloaded.

Looks like Nexus will be capping non-premium members' downloads even further now.

All they're doing is making me not want to use their service.

 

With the new download system your downloads are balanced across our entire file server network (currently 10 file servers). Non-premium members are capped at a download speed of 1MB/second (8mbit) across all their downloads. If you download 1 file, you'll be able to download at a maximum of 1MB/second. If you download 2 files, you'll download at 500kb/second for each file. 4 downloads would be 250kb/sec per file. And so on and so forth. Premium members are obviously uncapped and will be able to download as fast as their connections allow. We've also added another Premium-only download server in the US for their use.

Doesn't change anything for me, I would've signed up as a premium user ages ago but my incompetent ISP (AT&T) caps me at 100k no matter how much I spend so I just spend minimum ($15) now.

[Besidilo]

It says £20/year for me. No way am I going to pay that considering that I'd prefer to support the modders for their work, am on a tight budget lately and Nexus isn't as good as other, less supported services IMHO.
