Find broken downloads
Is there any query I can do to find entries with broken downloads? I've tried the advanced search but couldn't see "broken download" checkbox. Was thinking of trying to resolve some of them... |

What Count 0 said.
But some tools that gets updated frequently like Pixcen might get into trouble. |

Effectively, external stuffs can be linked on the summaries section, like pdf manuals and so on. |

bepp: infact the contrary is true - those entries shouldnt get updated with new versions in the first place. |

I somehow expected that comment from you, gpz ;-)
While I agree with you in general (for C64-releases) I'm not sure the same should apply for 'other platform tools', which might have frequent releases. I'd hate to see csdb bloated with versions of versions of 'other tools'... :-| |

I think other platform releases should only have one single entry without direct Downloads at all, but instead have a link to their Webpage. Would imho be adequate - at least for the projects that are still alive (i.e. VICE, 64tass etc.).
For dead projects the last version could be added as download to csdb. |

the external sites often disappears, and bye bye external link to the tool. Upload it here and forget where it was from. Use rar or 7z split archive, with 1mb splits. |

Actually, I frequently find it misleading to use external links and then update the other platform tool = target of link, for instance, without adding any new version release entry to CSDb (or at least some kind of comment in outdated version's entry). If there is version 1.y on external link but if I check here and find latest version 1.x, I wouldn't bother leeching external link...
Since there is "website [containing more information about this release]", I would not miss external downloads. If no or no working internal download is there, I'd check that website.
And okay, if site is really down, sb could just up an internal link, right? |
