Bug#784953: freespace2: fails to download fs2_ogg.zip

[Alexandre Detiste]

Hi,

Both url works, but I guess they also both can't be deep-linked
if freespacemods.net hasn't seen your IP addresse recently
or something.

Someone else with an IP not in cache must try
"wget http://www.freespacemods.net/e107_files/downloads/fs2_ogg.zip"
to be sure.

If both urls require that the website had been visited,
this could be maybe worked  around with wkhtmltopdf
or "lynx -dump > /dev/null" or something; but that
would be considered abuse.
I can't host such hug file myself either.

I guess the only solution then is to disable
the automatic upload and move the URL to the help text.

Alexandre
