Can't connect to the archives

if i try to connect with my fpt client i just get


connected but then
server closed control connection

And i can't upload my work:(

Do you suffer from this problem?

ditto :(

any help!

I see the problem. You're using an FPT program instead of a FTP program. Common mistake, really.

Filezilla:
CNET.com > Downloads > Windows > Utilities > FTP > FileZilla

How to upload:

edit:typo

Very funny, guys!

The server is down and can't be accessed right now.

A FTP mirror works for me, as I've just taken something from there (a Doom 1 wad level zip).

That doesn't help when you want to upload.

Searcher: Why not just download it from their website?
http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

But I agree in your choice os FTP client. :)

i use a ftp client, just spelled it wrong above:(

Dude, in case you didn't get it, there ain't no such thing as an "FPT" protocol for uploading files.

Seriously, I'd expect an Icelander to be more computer literate, like e.g. Finns...dunno :-(

it's hard connecting to achives especially when there's no such thing as achives.

And besides, the official "archives" server has a limit of max. 5 connections per time, so even when it's not down, it can be hard to connect.

Ofc we all know it was an error, but that didn't stop you from becoming the butt of the joke anyway.

well maes thank you for making it all to your unfunny bait now.

Talk about beating a dead horse.

Beating a dead horse is an idiom which means a particular request or line of conversation is already foreclosed, mooted, or otherwise resolved, correct? I've seen some cases where an idiot friend of mine decided to make the joke literally.
I hear and obey.

For how long?

It's been dead for at least 2 days now. And I know that Ty is not available for at least a few more days.

Its well known that when somebody who maintains a website goes away for a few days, the site having run perfectly for every second they have been there, it will still fuck up as soon as they leave the house

Talk about it, I went away for a week last year, leaving my computer on, that had been running non stop for the last 6 months w/o any issues.

When I get back, it's dead as a doornail.

power buttons can turn off computers btw. There is no good reason to inflate the ego and waste power with uptime if you're not a server or an important bot.

YAY ITS BACK

archives.gamers.org/pub/idgames/incoming/

╔══════════════ FTP ══════════════╗

You're right, FTP isn't responding. But HTTP did come back (it was dead too).
