it think old b told me it was a server error i wish they would sort it out i want to upload my grass pack there but i cant because it's never bloody working >:(
I'm sorry about Ashundar's issues - I have to say that I'm getting irritated with it, too. We have switched hosts several times over the past few years, and each time begins with a period of stability but eventually ends up with crashes and security issues. Oshyan is also extremely busy right now, and he's the one who maintains most of the backbone of the site. We're going to continue working on the issue and exploring possibilities, but for the meantime just hang tight - it will be back as soon as possible.
I know the guy who runs the Mafiascene.com site, that's always having that error come up, he might be able to show you how to get round it.
Well, this is the latest error anyways...
"Database Error: Table 'smf_log_online' is marked as crashed and should be repaired
File: /home/skindust/public_html/ashundar/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 2543"
This means you have to fix the Subs.php, but how do you do that?

well, depends what's on line 2543. Could be that subs.php is a component of some database used by ashundar, which couldn't be loaded by the server for whatever reason and needs to be reset.
Subs.php is a file that deals with many of the functions for keeping the database up to date and maintaining the connection between the front end and the back end of the system. Unfortunately, I don't have access to FTP right now to go and fix it, and even then it might be some deeper problem, because the host itself has had some stability issues. We're just going to have to wait for Oshyan to pop in.
why not just switch the site over to the same web host planetside forums are on i never get a problem with this site :)
That's because, so far as I know, Planetside actually has its own, private, dedicated host. Ashundar isn't actually affiliated with Planetside, so it wouldn't really be proper to move it over to the Planetside server. Just hang in there, and Oshyan and I will continue exploring the options.
Hmm... guess you guys are working on it now or something. Looks like theres a syntax error in the index page. A variable containing a filepath has gone missing, so it can't open up any other php file :P Hope its back soon, I wanted to download some plant models.
The best solution:
"We are performing maintenance. Ashundar will return soon. Thank You."
Nice... Now get it fixed!! ;) :P
And you did... for now the site is available. Keep it going!
We'll do our best :). Thanks for being so patient.
I wouldn't be complaining guys. Where else can you find a site that will let you upload LARGE file sizes for free?
And all of the files are focused on the common interest we all share, TG2. I'd give them a break. :)

mediafirethey let you upload large files. I know i should give them a break but its happing so often that im starting to get annoyed and it takes a lot to get me annoyed :P
As I've said, we are going to try to work on this. Also, the sites that you listed are places to temporarily put files - the goal of our downloads section is to permanently store files related to Terragen in a convenient, organized way.

What I was pointing out was the fact that Ashunder
caters to TG2 users, and it doesn't launch pop-up screen for other stuff when you hit the download button.

I have uploaded some things on Terranuts, but it takes awhile to get them approved sometimes. And recently I haven't been able to upload my models because it times out during the upload.
@ OB or Oshyan, just so you know, I got another error... first server busy, now "Table 'smf_sessions' is marked as crashed and should be repaired"..
You probably know this allready, but just trying to help...
yup i got the exact same message to ???
Yeah, it'll be back as soon as possible. If possible, I'm going to try to free up some time to try to hunt down some of these problems so that we won't have to keep on fixing things.
The simple fact is we're able to offer the space and bandwidth at Ashundar because we use relatively low-cost hosting, but there are problems that come with that. I actually have several accounts with this hosting provider and most of the rest are more stable and consistent, and the host keeps saying they're working on improvements for this particular server. At this point though I am tempted to see if I can just move to one of my other accounts, it's just that it's a hassle to move and there's lots of data.
Eventually I hope to come up with a better all around long-term solution for all of my web-related projects (and there are a fair amount), but I've just increased my living costs considerably so I don't think that will be feasible for now. It would also likely require a person to be a Linux web host admin for me as I unfortunately have neither time nor complete knowledge to administer a dedicated host myself (which is what I'd want for hosting all my projects, ultimately). If anyone is a Linux admin and would be willing to contribute time on a dedicated server (keeping it updated and secure, handling crashes and downtime, etc.), I'd be glad to give them a good allowance of space and bandwidth on a dedicated server I'd purchase, but for now the dual barriers of finances and lack of an admin keep me from going this route.
That doesn't mean all hope is lost, though. We continue to work on this issue and will do our best to make significant improvements in all areas in the near future.

What's that? Girlfriend? Kids? New heavyduty fridge?
Moved from Santa Rosa, where the average rent for a decent 2 bedroom apartment is about $1200/mo to San Francisco, where the average rent for a decent 2 bedroom apartment is $2200 or more (depending on the neighborhood). That also extended my commute by about 60 miles a day and with the cost of gas that adds up. On the other hand some costs, like utilities (gas, electric) went down. :)
