Is this a limit to what you can do with the server you use?

270 MB, actually. And yes, it's a technical limitation with the site itself.

What about this-- host 2 300 MB downloads, or even 3.

Generally the ISO Cellar is meant to be used for larger titles and full images.

While I'm here, I'll just ask another quick question... How come when a game is on Amazon, sold by someone else, but fulfilled by amazon, Abandonia doesn't host it.

For the most part, it's us trying to err on the side of caution - we're considering those situations to be equivalent to Amazon itself selling the goods.

1. Abuse & I'm sure many other games are still being sold on Amazon (I'm American so when I say that I mean .com)
|
According to our records, Abuse has been released as freeware. Once that happens, freeware status trumps sold status and it doesn't matter who's selling it or where.

2. If a game is not still being manufactured, that would mean any copies Amazon is selling are Second-hand, therefor, even if it is fulfilled by Amazon, that's just someone else partnering to bring Second-Hand, possibly new second-hand, copies to the market. (The game I am talking about is Breach 3)

In general, our criteria for acceptable sources are:
* Must be selling unopened, unused copies (not "like new")
* Must be a business rather than a private person
* There may not be any pre-existing causes to doubt the authenticity of the media or the company's business practices.
