Comments on: The Shub-Hub is doomed

It is not ALL the files but the vast majority. I am hosting the engines and wads at Quaddicted since then (I think), not sure what else. Some movies were removed earlier I think. Willem did not re-new the shub-hub.com domain I think. Earlier it was transparently(?) redirecting URLs. How come people are so interested in this now?

You are much too late though, about 2 and 1/2 years. :-) Willem took over the files in 2008 and hosts a similar site at http://www.quaketastic.com/ By: John http://www.quaddicted.com/quaddictedcom/the-shub-hub-is-doomed/comment-page-1/#comment-3029 John Wed, 20 Apr 2011 09:35:03 +0000 http://www.quaddicted.com/?p=267#comment-3029 Any way you can send me the software necessary to run it?

And that plan seems the only option for new customers. Yes, Willem made a replacement. He did not answer me yet if he will continue the shub-hub.com domain and files though. That's what I am interested in for someone to "take over". There are actually a few people who said they might, I am just waiting for Willem to reply...

Although I really appreciate the sentiment. But I am in agreement with you about Rygels texture pack - it's awesome. It would be nice to think that it will remain hosted at some location or other.

Or it does but they changed the rules and new people won't be able to get Shub-Hub? Anyway, i'm interested in taking over the site. $100/year doesn't sound much to me. (and i would leave Rygel's pack alone, it rocks :-) Btw, i had the impression that Dreamhost is a good provider...

Don't you worry about it. :) There are countless free upload sites and I am sure there are some that are no pain in the ass (with no Javascript and cookies). One would just need to find one. After all it is not like every Quake file nowadays is hosted at the Shub-Hub. Costs: ~100$ per year at Dreamhost (overselling quantity>quality, very fluctuating service). If you want to provide a good site than you would have to use a good provider. 60$ of this year were covered by donations (thanks to Willem and pleuraXeraphim again). Bandwidth and files are mentioned right in the post. The Shub-Hub was NEVER meant as an archive. NEVER ever rely on someone else than yourself when you want files preserved. The main reason is simple that the site stresses me just by existing and being "my responsibility". The actual work is maybe one file move per week. As I said, I will not continue it but I would happily pass it to someone else.

At least you're statement for dumpsite reached its limit, but I really sorry the effort we all made to make it go! Then just copy the whole site. Thanks for your information of the deathline. Hard to see a good thing go.
