downloading from Halomaps.org
Posted: Sun Nov 25, 2007 5:26 pm
ok i am posting this because i am having problems downloading from halomaps. also this corresponds to the release of Harbinger. if you know how to FTP then this is for you:
i am on a mac so i will be refering to Terminal
1. open terminal
2. type this in WITHOUT QUOTES! "ftp files2.halomaps.org"
3. when it prompts for a name type in "anonymous"
4. when it prompts for a password type whatever you want it does not matter
5. press the enter key or the return key
6. now type "cd /files"
7. now type "get " the type "the_file_name.zip"
what that last command means is that you type in the name of the file. it will begin downloading right away, and i find it is much less annoying than waiting for the download button to actually work and not redirect you to the main halo CE maps page.
EDIT: and i just realized that this should be in the tutorials so if anyone would like to move it that would be great.
