The maximum size...no idea. I never reached the limit!  But a simple look on the homepage offered this insight: Quote:
 I additionally used ECM for my 78MiB archive of Secrets of Pyramids, a tool that compresses CD images and makes them better compressible with tools like WinRAR or 7ZIP. I learned that this program can corrupt your CD image sometimes, so I would only use it with caution... |

So is 7zip safe compared to ZIP? I'm thinking of converting many of old zip archives to 7zip since it provides a much better ratio. For example, my save game folder for one game is 43 MB uncompressed, 32 MB zipped, and 4 MB 7zipped. But I worry about data loss, especially with older files. I don't know why. So how safe is it compared to zip? And what's the maximum size for an archive? I'm having trouble finding info on that for some reason. |

It is our interest to have people visiting, indeed.  Various means can be employed to prevent users reposting the torrents elsewhere, and there are several distinct advantages to using BitTorrent for distribution of the larger files. |

 We would??? How come? I mean, I don't really understand. I thought that it is in Abandonia's interest to have people visiting our site. And providing games via some public share places means that people will have to come to abandonia and at least visit ISO cellar. And then adding reviews to the main site and redirecting to ISO cellar would be much same like we do now, except they will have some bother to download games... But I guess we could give them torrent file as well, it's practically similar. People will use what they prefer anyway...

May I ask why this access is so limited? Because it sounds like it wouldn't be such a big problem if other people could help, too... Edit: Ah, I see. A company owns Abandonia, which isn't a reason itself, but somehow, it often is for limited cooperation. Which kinda sucks. |

We'd LOVE to add a torrent tracker to AB. The problem is in the small fact that the only people with access to do that are Studentis' own staff. As in: overworked, undermanned and not yet done fixing the existing bugs on the site? |
