Try ftp.gamers.org - they seem to be pretty much what cdrom.com used to be. 

ftp.gamers.org has a good amount of the cdrom stuff, but it's not complete and is missing some of the maps (i've had the full archive of dm and sp maps downloaded for sometime and it's missing a few of the peekaboom reviewed maps).

anouther suggestion is to use google to search for the mapname.zip files. I've found a ton of older, rarer maps on this way. 

Not every bitter bastard from the QBoard days is old.

But they're still all bitter bastards.

What The Fuck Is A Youngling?

Blame George Lucas, not me. 

Ill give that a try it really is a shame whats happening to all the old quake sites. There were times over at peek's site I would swear someone was actively removing links. Id be in the middle of a download, then all of a sudden it would stop and all the previously working links are now dead. Creepy shit at 2AM... 

is there a main site where I can sign up? 

ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/games/PC . It's got much of the old ftp.cdrom.com. No password required. 

-nt- 

Well I got farther there than at the other site, but still once I get into any of the folders that actually contain files I either get a bunch of gibberish, or the password prompt. Sucks to be me...I did manage to get alot of the maps off peek's site and some addtional maps from the working authors sites. So much of what has been done seems to be fadin away. 

You shouldn't get a password requirement from this:

Im getin the strafin series, as I type. Many thanks to all! 

I do have a PC.. it's a 7 year old desktop.. I bought the Powerbook for reliability. 

Alright... again, here's something to listen to for anyone that may need custom music for their mod. This is my first demo... I'm capable of more musical stuff, but this song reminds me of the Quake 1 soundtrack. When I started it I didn't have any influences consciously... subconsciously NIN. Being my first attempt it's probably decent, but I'll get better.

it was encoded at 128kbps to save on file size. And the percussion-like sound that comes in at 00:08 is actually my guitar. 

It's not my idea of music, but you may like to check this out, it's by evillair, a Quake3, mapping/texture dude gone pro type person

Your thing was ok, and yes, you'll only get better if you keep at it. What's the chance of any 'real' music, as opposed to ambient/games stuff? 

Angel Fire doesn't let people keep mp3s on their server. It saves them worrying about copyright hassles. Try uploading it as a .mp3.bin. You'll probably need a new site to do that, I suspect that account has been narked. 

-grumble-

Abyss, there will be more musical stuff... I'm not sure when. 

when my site is up ( it goes up and down rather unpredictably atm ) I can give you access to my FTP account and you can upload it to Signs Of Koth. I don't have any limitations on content because my hosting is basically a favour provided by the nice guys at my local internet cafe; as long as it isn't dozens of megs, you can park it next to my stuff.
Just a thought. 

I'm only offering 'cause I'd really like to hear anything ambiently Quake-like :) 

See, I do have a site.. phaitaccompli.com - except, my host had been in the hospital, and I assume he wasn't able to pay last months bill or something.. but he's back now so.. else I'd host it there too..

another thing is I have small smiley face and little images for a forum I started that need hosting that were at the angelfire account.. I got away with that for awhile, I think it was the MP3 that broke the deal. I'm currently uploading it as .TCF to a geocities account... 

for it to fucking tell me "invalid file name". Dammit X(

* RENAME TO .MP3 !!! *
Having to host this @ a free host until my real host gets back online =\ 

Copy the link and paste it to the address bar. 

My 'real' site is back online. No more of this free host bullshit :D More demos to come, folks. 

Quick request, does anyone have a site that has listings for the original Q2DM custom shiznat (all the old headshot/retinal stuff etc)?

Oh, and since when has Ramshackle had buggered java? 

This is a public beta version of the map. It is a fairly original style of map, looks very nice, although the screens don't do it justice IMO. Runs well, and good play to boot. The map has undergone heavy changes over the last week or two, just about a complete rebuild. I was lucky enough to have the author bring me around a copy of the previous beta to test, and it was a delight to play. The additions made to this version only enhance that even further. So if UT2003 is your thang, then go at it
