I was just wondering if there is a site out there that willingly hosts maps that have larger than normal file sizes. By that, I mean 20MBs+ without .RAR compression, 5MBs+ with it. I'm working on a map right now that promises to be my best ever, but already it's too big to host on any free make-your-own-website services that I know of (the most I've seen of free web space is 5MB, on yahoo geocities). If anyone knows where I could find a hosting service that could accomodate such a large map (compressed, of course), I'd be most appreciative.

Freewebs. But don't use it, cause if you do noone will download it.
But why not upload the filefront or something?

I'd say you're just gunna have to splash out a bit for hosting with somebody. All the free sites are always dropping off.

If it's only 5 RAR'd, email it to me and I'll host it.

If you're looking for your own host, look to HLGaming or HL2DB.

I want to know what is wrong with freewebs. I have a site there I use purely for hosting maps, and it works just fine. Downloads are pretty fast and you can host what, 40mb is it?

It's inelegant: there's no FTP access, I doubt it could support PHP, or SQL or anything like that. There are better free hosts out there.

Freewebs makes downloading extremely slow!

Freewebs is appauling, and has a max downstream rate of less than 10KiB/s. If you post stuff like that, nobody who has a clue, on broadband, will bother.

RabidMonkey777, I thank you for your offer, and once the map is completed to my satisfaction I'll get back to you on it via a post here on TWHL or something of that nature.

I abandoned all other maps I was working on 2 months ago to start working on this one (some may remember the boat I was making...it's still there guys, just on the backburner!), and it is going to be my premier map for online distribution. The map will be optimized for large-scale deathmatch games and it has a distinctly different thematic flavour than most other maps. Structurally, it is at 87% completion, whereas for multiplayer functionality it is at 11.5% compeltion. I'll get a site somewhere for screenshot posting once it's ready... I guarrantee you be at least mildly interested. But for now, it's getting through the compile process (the map is so full that I have yet to run VIS on Normal...I'm saving that for when it's 100% done).

How on Earth did you determine that it was at 11.5% completion? ;)

Let us know, anyway.

damnit im too used to HTML
&lt;a target="_blank" href="www.cs-maps.org"&gt;CS-Maps.org&lt;/a&gt;
Not really.. 'target_blank' hasn't been used in HTML since 2000 :-) and attributes are best placed after the link... (ed: Andy)

Try
CS-Maps.org

But does your site have a uploading section?

My site will be open to anyone who wants to let people able to download their map.

Well UNF, www.unftfc.com hosts all their maps for fast downloads as well on www.srchosting.com, i think they sponsor in return for advertising etc... Perhaps you should contact them, i think their email is main@srchosting.com.
