download links
I know, not first priority. But i'd like to get the csdb admins opinion about making the 'add download link' public.
Especially when locking all records, it would be a shame if new links aren't added or get broken without being fixed. There aren't any disadvantages are there? |

When you copy an existing link from a csdb-release and paste it as downloadlink to another release, you get this error message. Hmmm, is this half way understandable?... |

Quote: Btw: "Error: You can't add a download link to stuff in csdb." Why not, actually? If you have several releases in e.g. a party-disk, wouldn´t it be useful just to copy and paste the link in the individual entries? Or am I missing something?
Just upload it 2 times. CSDb will detect that it allready has the file, so it won't waste any space on our server. (the files has to be excatly the same ofcause)
So if you have a disk with 10 releases, just upload the disk 10 times. |

Sorry dudes, but that's a bit weak. It takes quite a lot of time uploading a file 10 times, while copying+pasting a link would be much faster.
What's the reason for not allowing the link anyway? |

Basically it's not illegal to make a link to an url like:
http://noname.c64.org/csdb/getinternalfile.php/XXX/somedemo.zip
But it is not allowed to make a link to something like:
http://noname.c64.org/csdb/download.php?id=XXXX
So some time ago I fixed this - however I only check if the url links to something on noname.c64.org/csdb, which means that the first url also falls under this category.
This was not intended, but I havn't heard any complaints untill now, so... :)
This should be fixed now. |

people who add releases without adding a download link should get shot at once!

Bullshit. I think it's far more important to have a (as) complete (as possible) overview of the releases our scene produced. Downloads are a plus but should not be required.
And let's say that I know of a certain demo but haven't got it myself. Still me entering the information here in csdb might trigger somebody else to upload the file.
Wouldn't that just be snazzy? :) |

I'd like the feature to search for demos that has no download-link so I could easily upload missing files. |

Such feature now exists.
Hit the "Browse" tap on top of this page, and browse releases having no download links. Check the box in the () next to the disk-icon. |
