Description merwan kashouty 2006-12-30 19:24:38 UTC

i wasnt able to get through to any of the mirrors listed in the ebuild . after a couple of days i searched down the files and came up with these two sites that were able to give me all the files needed to emerge the game.

http://q3.utca.hu/files/

http://backhed.se/urbanterror.html

is there a reason the files cant be on the gentoo mirrors?

List of mirrors:

Presumably, http://www.fsk405.org/q3ut3/UrbanTerror3.7_FULL.zip can be the complete SRC_URI.

The reason for not mirroring is size - 446mb.

Right, we don't mirror huge games/mods.

I'll be honest, there have been several times where I've almost removed this stupid mod, if only because trying to keep a consistent set of download mirrors for it is damn near impossible.
