Something or somewhere has a very popular direct link up to the download URL and I ran through six gigabytes of transfer bandwidth in the last day. This also happened at the end of February and the very beginning of March.

There are links up to get it from the IF Archive, so if you got a 404, please go here and pick from one of them.

(Also, if anyone knows where the direct URL was posted, please let me know. I'm just curious.)

That's somewhat bizarre.

Speaking of which, is there a way to redirect a zip file location to download from another source?

For instance, www.joltcountry.com/downloads/ndrift.zip is where I had Necrotic Drift saved locally. Is there a way I can make people who type that into their browser get directed to the corresponding ndrift.zip file on the IF Archive? I know how to do it with HTML files, but have no idea if it's possible with .zip extensions.

Yes, I just don't know how.
