Hey, Robb?

Could you, like, host your games on Jolt Country? 'cause, I dunno if you've noticed or not, but the download speed of either IF-archive mirror? Bloooooooooowwwws. I'm downloading using a 56-K modem at lower than a kilobyte a second. Since your games are pretty darn big, this means that my FOD download of 5 megabytes will take an hour and a half. Whafuck?

Download it at Wal-mart, burn it to a CD and leave FoD running.

You betcha. I'll put 'em up tomorrow as an alternative link. Thanks for the heads-up.

Full list of archive mirrors:

Hopefully some of them should be running at a decent speed.

Would it *kill* you to have the FOD source on the archive? I like it because I can get "behind-the-scenes" tidbits from the comments, and also so that I can see any charming bits of text that I might have missed when I played the game.

Yeah, the source is too big and unwieldly to put up on the archive. I did put up source for three other games, count 'em, three, so I have "kept it real" for "mah homies."

Hey Robb, how big is it? I'd be glad to put it up on my site, unless you just don't want to release it. :)

If I were Robb, I wouldn't want to release it, either. I know, it's a pretty big tragedy when you have to play games to see what happens in them, but still.

Hey, Robb?

Hey, Robb?

Also!
