I am getting somewhat close to getting my print and play skirmish game "Into the Fray" ready for commercial release. In anticipation I plan to pull down the minis that are going to be included in that release. for those that want to grab them (that haven't already) while they are still freebies... Get all the Woodwold minis... www.mediafire.com/file/pta782lb43egb45/Woodwold%20Boskers.zipGet the floating caster... www.mediafire.com/file/w4bxg7zv8uh7u7w/DervMage.pdfIf you want 'em grab 'em. I'll be breaking the links in a week or two. The Nymph Sorceress will stay up, it's not part of Into the Fray.

Thank you for sharing them and giving us the heads up, but just a FYI for fellow downloaders my antivirus blocked the mediafire advertisment page that opened up after downloading. The download is safe, the page that opens up afterwoods should just be closed, reguardless of whatever riches is promises you

Thanks for the info...
I'm not terribly happy with media fire (it's just a free account anyway). I need to figure out how to host downloads through my website next so I don't have to use other download services (they all seem to be a bit of a pain if you don't pay for membership).

Try Drop Box. Jim suggested it a while back and it's pretty painless to use, once you've installed the software.
Then, any file you want to share you drag and drop a copy of into the dropbox shared folder. Give it a mintue to uplaod and then you can right click on it to get the link to the file, now hosted on drop box.
The only drawback is that you have to install the software. It was pretty painless and I don't find it intrusive. It runs in the background by default, but I've never noticed a drain on on system resources.

Does the end user (the downloader) have to install any software? I'd like to make it as easy as possible for my potential customers to get files from my website and not force them to jump through all kinds of hoops to get files.

I think Mel also recommended Drop Box, but not 100% sure on that.

DropBox is great to share "living" things. Since they all are both online AND on your HD, the day you'll move them our from the "public" folder they will be unavailable also online.
So, for "finished" things i think is better to find an online host (if possible, without all that boooooring things like countdowns, captcha, recount, popup....)

If you find a hosting site with out all the hoops to jump through, please let me know. I think that is a bit of a trick. I've found that I can host easily through my website and it works great for like a one page PDF that will open right in the browser. But what about a 30 page PDF (which would still open in a browser, but would take a while to load) or a file type that can't be displayed with a browser? I'm going to have to do some research, there must be an EASY solution, especially if I am hosting through my own website...

About opening in a browser or not, i sometimes find PDFs that opens the save file dialog instead of the adobe "plugin". I guess it is a matter of declaring the file type using the appropriate HTML tags.... which i don't know so much.
