[MODS]Bigger Download Sizes
« on: June 25, 2013, 05:26:48 AM »
Hello.

I've noticed the downloads section [For Bully mods] only allows files up to 4MB in size, while attachments in posts can go up to around 21MB.
I personally think that 4MB is incredibly small mods as it renders skin packs useless. When Bully modding has advanced a little bit more the mod sizes will increase too and although Mediafire is a good host, they delete the files after some time. Likewise with Zippyshare etc etc.

Plus, I tried to upload the Bully Audio Ripping Tools and I had to upload them to Mediafire. The tools are 6MB.  [Also it still needs approving.]

A size I'd recommend is 50MB maximum.

So is it possible? It will come in handy when Bully modding becomes more wide/someone makes a HD mod etc. etc.

I'm agree with that.

We need more space for the mods

What about the bigger mods like Zombie Edition, umm emm ...

But yeah in a future we will have more bigger mods like he says.

Well...

There is a reason for this actually and even tho I CAN change this I won't since while I am an admin here....I do not own BB or host it which limits what I really can do.

Both attachments and downloads are saved in the database that this forum uses to store everything from the configuration to the topics and categories and posts...etc and if we put too many very very large files into that database...it will potentially fall over from being way too large and cluttered. That happens to be a limitation of most database types...and this one being no different.

All filels under that size will be uploded to B-B.
