My blog linking to Cardforge.org

I just wanted to make sure it was OK for me to be using the urls to the new version of Forge at cardforge.org because I don't mind using mediafire.com. Using a single download site is nice because you get to see how many times it is downloaded, which is always an encouraging thing to see.

(Forge is really a sophisticated computer virus that is trying to infect the world, one computer at a time. )

cardforge.org has unlimited bandwidth, so it's not a big deal. I check the stats every once in a while, and the number of downloads we're getting is huge...

I thought you had unlimited bandwidth but I wasn't sure. Since it is unlimited would it be ok if I uploaded Forge with all the pictures to cardforge.org? I think it would help people upgrade easier and moving files seem confusing. (I practically live in Windows Explorer.) Obviously if you don't like the idea, no problem, it was just a thought.

Creating cardforge.org was a good idea Rob.

I'm certainly not speaking for Rob, but is it a good idea legality-wise to distribute the pictures along with Forge? Besides, Forge itself does a pretty good job of handling the pictures for new installs, and there is a good update guide in the readme.

The images are downloaded individually for a reason.

[mtgrares]

Yeah, it doesn't seem like a great idea. I doubt it would solve many difficulties any ways.

Just a thought (one of millions)

Also, consider that only new users need to download the entire pic archive....

[mtgrares]

Yeah.

I'm not sure what would really help users out. Hopefully people don't find Forge hard to install or use.
