The belt buckle on our resource archive has finally popped. The uploading of all resources has been temperarily disabled. Please do not try to upload any right now...it will just create a broken link page that I will have to clean out later.
Darky is currently requesting additional space from his provider. Clearing existing space will not re-enable uploading features, since its likely a stop issued by the provider. Will keep everyone up to date.
this is sort of good news actually, finally a purge is one step closer to realization
will it be manual, or eg looping through all the resources checking number of downloads/date/comments or so?
As for the future, would it be possible to run mdx-squisher on each mdx submitted or compress uncompressed blp's at 85% for example? That should save a whole lot of space...
The BLPaletter and MDX Squisher do not compress the file you target normally ( assuming these are the programs you are talking about ) but instead, change them so the MPQs can compress them more efficiently.
The site literly has come to a stand still. . . I recommend the moderators purge the map and spell sections quickly since thoes are the 2 "big" sections data wise. I am awair that even if space is made you will be unable to upload but this site realy can not keep shoving the dirt under the carpet even if more space is aquired it will soon fill up unless you clear the dirt away.
By this I mean the map, modle, skin, and spell sections need to be looked over and any junk deleted.
Assuming the host is using a normal Linux filesystem quota, you CAN fix things by deleting files. As soon as you have freed enough space to be below the soft quota limit, you should be ok.
Wc3Anvil is around and ready. Maybe you could offload some of the files there.
