It would be a cool feature if the file was accompanied by a text file containing a text printout of the meta-info. Maybe just put it all into a zip?
Sure, the meta-info will loose it's links, but it's probably useful to have this if something gets lost and someone needs to re-add it somewhere (here?). |

Well, here we go.
I didn't follow the complete discussion due to lack of motivation, but will, since there seems a real demand, fix a few things and extend ftp.pokefinder.org this weekend.
So my 2 cent is - keep it like it is. :)
Btw, last days of October 119 requests were made and up til now 182 requests in November. If it someday exceeds some 10 or hundred thousand requests coming from csdb we might consider changing the strategy here. :)

Errm... but you do realize that once there's updates made to the CSDb entry, that won't be reflected in your "meta-info" file since you won't find a single FTP administrator who will zip up all files with "new" information on a regular basis, yes? =D
besides... re-add? hello? There are BACKUPS of CSDb. |

As far as I know, there are no backups of the hosted files. |

Not only did I realize it, I also wrote a comment about it in my post. ;)
The text-file would primarily be useful to remedy part of the problems with ftp-archives. If nobody wants it we can just do like it is now on all the current ftp-sites, i.e make the filename from stripped down meta-info.
I'm just providing friendly suggestions here... :) |

See it this way; He welcomed you with a friendly "hello" to this round ;) |

I thought tlr was talking about readding the meta-information to the database, not the files. Readding the files would be kind of nonsense since, once the files have been exported for the FTP, it'd be pretty easy to simply add the download links to the FTP with the same naming scheme used for exporting the files in the first place.
And while I don't know about the files, I know for sure that there's backups of the CSDb database and screenshots.

I can assure you there are backups of IT ALL.
Both code, database, screenshots and photos AND uploaded files.
The last backup of the uploaded files was about 500mb in tar.gz
The only thing not backed up is whatever external links points to. :) |

OK, then my knowledge was old or wrong, sorry O:) |

Probably old. :)
When the upload file feature was first made, the files was uploaded to an external ftp-site to spare space on the server CSDb runs on. That however often went offline for long periods of time, so I found out that it was ok to use a bit more space on the same server as CSDb runs on, where the files are now stored. That makes it a bit easier to make a backup. :) |
