alternate downloads?

Jan 27, 2006 polylux link
Due to reformatting the whole system I need to download the install file again.

Thing is that all download links are down (the third one opens but halts after about a minute) and I'm unable to find any torrent downloads.

Can anybody help me out please?

cheers,
polylux

Hello Polylux, this could be a temporary problem, I'm not sure, but if you expect an answer from the devs better post in the general forum. Nobody reads the linux forum.

They don't work for me either. Really, all you need is the updater binary and it'll do the rest. First, e-mail the devs ( http://guildsoftware.com/company.html ), then e-mail me if they don't get the servers online and I'll send it to ya.

Heh, seems all our friends have broken colo boxes. *sigh*

The third link seems to be working fine for me... I'll host a torrent if it'll help.

Thanks guys for the answers.
True, the third link works but stops after a few megs downloaded.

a1k0n, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could host a torrent. thanks.

Weird, I was able to download the entire thing from the third link.

Thanks a1k0n for hosting the torrent. I wait for you to come online :D

Hey polylux, leave your e-mail address in this thread, I'll provide some alternative download location for you, just you, I don't want any copyright problems..

blah, my box is firewalled, so you may not be able to download from the only seed on that torrent. Sorry polylux.

avirulence: I don't mind at all if you mirror the linux installer for everyone, but it's up to you. Right now we technically require that you sign up on the website before you can download the game but I'm pushing for relaxing that requirement and adding a new user signup form to the client itself.

Oooh oooh can I mirror it too?

http://wonkydonkey.com/mirrors/vendetta-linux-installer.sh (Right click - save link as)

md5sum : bac9bc29953e4f38c9a055260774ce86 (can a dev check this against the official mirror? cos I downloaded this from a1k0ns firewalled torrent... heh)

Mine seems to be b59ff3cc4d6b87e9202b529a1737572d, I downloaded a while ago from an official mirror.

Idea: As soon as you add a new user signup form to the client, inform the Gentoo people. At the moment you have to download the file manually. If you include the signup form, they will (probably) put the file on the Gentoo mirrors: problem solved.

Yeah, that goes the same for debian, and the ubuntu folk, i guess.

[edit]

Worked out the md5 problem, seems the one on the torrent comes with the new update.rlb md5 is as posted.

Sorry, bumped for a friend who cannot download from either link you provide :/

[edit]

Just tried both myself, the one you host yourself seems to work, but is really slow (50kbps, thats ok for people with 1mbit connections I guess >.>), the Berlin server gives up the ghost about 67% the way through the DL. I would give you permission to use that mirror, and even give out FTP access to a folder you could abuse, but due to you not having sign-up in the client, I CAN'T! Hurry up n sort it andy! then the fanbase can host teh game!

I had the same problem downloading from http://mirror.milw.guildsoftware.com

As in the server would give up after a while.

This can be solved (worked around) by using a download program that can continue broken/interrupted downloads, like wget. In wget, continue mode is invoked by passing it the -c (for continue) flag as a run time argument. Then it picks up where the download broke last time and resumes the download.

Linux and Apple should have wget pre-installed, and for Windows it is shipped with cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/).

So, to get the client for Linux:
$ wget -c "http://mirror.milw.guildsoftware.com/vendetta-linux-installer.sh"

Wait for it to break (you will see download speed change to --)

^C

Repeat as necessary.

For Apple and Windows use the respective URLs between the quote marks (http://mirror.milw.guildsoftware.com/VendettaOnline.dmg, and http://mirror.milw.guildsoftware.com/VendettaOnlineSetup.exe).
