Your site still lists Filefront as no longer at risk, but it is disapearing rapidly |

For anyone else trying to get files from Filefront/Gamefront. Even though you can no longer browse it, Google can still find the actual DL pages |
|

Dr-Flay |
I really hope you had started archiving FileFront, as it is a bit late for the older files, but plenty of newer stuff can still be found |

For those who want an archive retrieval browser plugin, I can recommend the "Webcache" extension for Opera browser https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/webcache/ |

Dr-Flay: Hi. I don't know if the wiki signup is still down, but if you can get an account you can change it yourself. |

If not, there'll probably be someone here later. |

In the meantime, do you have any scripting experience that you could use to help? There's always a few things to investigate: how many files are there, is there a list, how to download them? |

URL structures, what kind of files are there, are they worth saving etc.? |

Sorry @alard, now I'm just as guilty! It occurs to me that the makers of the free downloader "MiPony" may be able to help. |

I got them to add File/GameFront a while ago |

I was going to ask them about adding Fileplanet to it's recognised sites, but as they were closing it, I thought it was pointless |

I have a friend who is an excellent programmer with plenty of html experience, I'll ask him to have a look at your site and see if he can spare some time. |

As I said earlier Google can still see the pages that still exist in Filefront, even though they have removed the navigation html for the old stuff. Searching filefront with Google for a recognisable term still works. You can then access the actual DL page, but some of the file are now gone. |

Here is an example I just checked. I searched for "filefront ut2k4" and chose http://www.gamefront.com/files/12531958/battlestargalacticacylonsv2_ut2k4_zip This is still there, but if you navigate up through the folders it will say nothing exists :( LIARS ! |

MiPony will download from that link I gave you. MiPony also checks and shows if a file can be found at the end of the link |
|

I really think the makers of MiPony are very likely to be able to help, with mass downloading. |

I'm not sure, but I think his problem with File/GameFront is this: http://www.gamefront.com/file-hosting-faq/ They delete files that haven't been downloaded in 60 days, or 7 days for anonymous uploads. |

It also seems that you can just guess walk the numeric file IDs, e.g., http://www.gamefront.com/files/files/21677000/ |

If we're going after this, it would need constant updating since the site is not dead. |

Also: large files. And is this actually something that could be interesting to put on archive.org? (I'm not a gamer, so I can't judge the value of these files. Are they pirated versions? User-built add-ons?) |
