Hello FS2 Community

Is there a place where I can download the three ISO disks for FS2? Freespacezone.com isn't working, HOTU doesn't work (and I don't want to download there), so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Not at the moment.  They might get some more Bandwidth at the end of the month though.

Hopefully.  I've been searching what you've been searching for for a while.  You could try a torrent, although I haven't had much luck myself.

This torrent seemed to be working last time I checked (Earlier this week).

Il contact Snipes about Freespacezone.com

[ZmaN]

sorry, bad post.

[YanksFan4Ever77]

If you would see my first post, ZmaN, I clearly stated that freespacezone.com does NOT work.

Any other help appreciated.

[MrBig101]

It will be working soon (in a couple weeks?).  At least that is what Snipes told me. (evilones.net)  Just wait it out or try the torrent.

well it worked for me.

oh wait, that was a month ago.  sorry dude.

[YanksFan4Ever77]

when did you last try the link? 3 weeks ago?

[ZmaN]

wellll i dont remember exactly but it was at least a month ago.  try bit comet, and get a torrent file on torrentspy.com, thats ur best bet from this point.

[MrBig101]

I'm getting the CD's from a friend on monday (hopefully), and then after I burn it I might be able to upload it, if I had enough time and the proper host...

I have an FTP server up, and I wouldnt have a problem letting you get the 3 ISO images, as long as you know what ur doin (oh btw, I got those 3 ISO images from Freespacezone.com).  I juss gotta figure out how to let people through my router straight to my FTP server on my computer.  If not, I'll make you a torrent file of those exact files from freespacezone.com and you can download that.

Oh and if any of u guys know how to let people through a router to a computer to access an FTP server, please let me know.  Ill do it right away!!!

[karajorma]

It's pretty much as simple as forwarding ports 21 most likely but if that doesn't work or if you want a better guide, take a looksee if your router is listed on PortForwards.com

[ZmaN]

what exactly does a static IP do?  is it like so that you can simulate NOT being connected to a router even though you ARE connected to the router?

[karajorma]

A static IP means that your computer decided which IP it had. Most routers come with DHCP which means that they can be set up to tell your computer which IP address it has.

 If you're using something like FTP it's a good idea to set up a static IP address for your computer so that it always has the same IP address. You can either configure this on your router (By reserving an IP address) or from control panel and then setting up your IP address to the desired choice.

Go to start>Run>Type cmd
In the command prompt type Ipconfig \ all

(For win 98 just type winipcfg into the start>run option).

If the output tells you that you have DHCP enabled you can use the MAC address displayed to reserve an address. All you then have to do is forwards your FTP to that address.

If you still need help I'm more than willing to explain in more detail

[ZmaN]

I have sucessfully set up my Static IP and My friend successfully got onto my FTP server from behind his router!!!!!!!  I am putting the Freespace 2 ISO's On it, please tell me if this isnt a good idea.  is it going to take all the bandwidth up if someone tries to download it??  I am on Cable Internet.

[karajorma]

Check to see if the FTP server you're using has bandwidth throttling options.

(You ought to check your ISPs terms and conditions too actually. Some get a bit annoyed if you try to set up a 24/7 FTP server).

[ZmaN]

yanks fan: i had the stupid windows firewall on and thats why u couldnt get into my ftp serverr.  sorry about that buddy!

Well, since I had scratches on my old CDs that made them useless, I tried the torrent from Freespacezone.com.
Even though this is a very old thread, let me mention that CD2 in this torrent has a wrong filesystem and neither can be mounted nor burned. The other stuff works fine, it's just CD2.

It's also curious, that it's called FREESPACE2_DISC2.ISO while the other ones are called
Freespace_2_(1999).CD(1 or 3).ChAoScReW.ShareReactor.ISO.

With this exception, the torrent has more than 10 seeders and is fast enough (26hours for 2.4GB?).
