New FTP server... and new expenses

Maybe you have noticed that we changed our download server two days ago since download speed should be really faster for most of you, especially if you are from USA, Canada, England and Germany!

If you missed the news about OFP.info downloads, our OFP.info site's host Allstar told us last year that they couldn't host anymore all the files stored on their FTP due to tremendous foreign traffic, so we had to rent a dedicated server to store and keep downloads available.

Unfortunately as we figured out with your messages on the forums and by emails, the first server we choose did not offer a good download speed for a big part of you, so we decided to rent a second one with a better internet connectivity.

So now we (the team) are renting two servers:

First one is hosting www.armedassault.info website, forums and files

Second one is hosting all the ofp.info downloads (addons, islands, mods, missions etc)

So now servers are costing us more than 700€ by year (without taking domain names, software licences, and backup server in consideration).

Since we want to keep armedassault.info quite clean without annoying popup advertisements we ask you, members of the community, and if it is possible, to help us to rent those servers by making a donation via PayPal... even a small contribution will be very helpful!

Thank you very much for helping us keeping ofp.info downloads alive as long as possible!

There is a thread in our forums about it for comments, questions, etc, here.
