Sorry for the downtime. Seems I have a hard drive that is failing on the server at the worst possible time. Something I have very, very little over the past couple weeks and wont have much the next week or two either. I rebooted the system and mounted the drive again, not sure how long it will stay up but I will try to stay on top of it. Please do NOT try to download everything on the site thinking you are saving anything. This will just kill my bandwidth and put a strain on the server. I have backups. I wont be gone forever should it go down.

Earlier this week I had a hardware issue on the server that caused the whole box to go down. It took me a few days with my host to give me the access I needed to get it solved. Everything should be running well again. If you see any issues with any of the sites please let me know in the forums.

Got a lot more done tonight. The redirect servers are almost back online 100%, but before I upload the data myself I am going to let everyone else start uploading them since they are so large. I have the public FTP server setup, just check the forums for the password and login information. The only other thing so far I haven't been able to fix is the Links page. I can't seem to locate the database that I backed up. Oops.


March 14, 2014

Got the new server setup and ready. Most services are back online now. Only thing remaining are the redirection services and fixing the links page. Plus a few minior PHP errors throughout the site due to the latest version of PHP. I suspect everything should be 100% in about a week. Some DNS servers still aren't reporting correctly, but that will solve itself in time.


February 27, 2014

So I have been going through the data the past couple days trying to get everything prepped and in order for uploading when I came across the usage logs. Seems the month before the site went down ut-files.com had 768,620 hits. Not too bad.


February 22, 2014

ut-files.com will be back soon...


August 13, 2012

Services might be interupted in the next few days, maybe weeks as I migrate everything over to a new quad core server that I'm upgrading to. I'm going to try to make this as seamless as possible, but if for some reason the site(s) are down, they'll be back shortly.


March 3, 2012

First update of the new year. Seems I've been slacking a little, but not a whole lot. I've managed to fix the security issue with the FTP server, so it's back online now. Please follow the same steps as before to get the login information.

As some of you are aware, the public FTP to upload files to the public redirects do not work. I have taken them offline for now, until I figure out a way to prevent idiots from trying to screw around. You can read/comment on the situation here. The redirects and downloads still work, nothing is wrong with them. You just wont be able to add anything to it. I also took the ONP and MH servers I was hosting offline, probably permanently because I do not have the time to maintain them; But I did that over a month ago and no one has said anything about it, so I doubt they were getting used much anyway.


July 31, 2011

PlanetMonsterHunt.com has officially merged with ut-files.com. If you were a PMH member, then your login will work at http://forums.ut-files.com


July 20, 2011

Been a while since I've done any updates here; mostly because I haven't really had anything major to report. Although the UnCodex site is now back up, took it down due to someone exploiting it. Also a few sub domains will not work as the hard drives they were hosted on needed to be unmounted due to some issues. Should have them back up hopefully soon.


July 5, 2010

On Friday morning (July 9, 2010) between the hours of 12:00AM and 3:59AM (CST) the server will be down for around 30 minutes while new components are being installed on the server.

So if the site doesn't work between those hours, just check back later. It shouldn't take no more than 30 minutes to install the hardware updates.


March 5, 2010

New section to the site added Links page for all Unreal related web sites. Also the Unreal Tournament master server has been down for the past 2 - 3 days, but they are working on getting it back up so don't panic. It's not going away.

Big additions have been added this month. With the help of Diehard from UnrealTexture.com. Ut-files.com now covers content from Unreal, Unreal II, Unreal Tournament, Unreal Tournament 2004 and Unreal Tournament 3. We have over 144GB of data stored on our servers, not counting the two redirect services we offer free to the public. We also added a 250Gb hard drive to accommodate the new content plus future content. Soon to come is a redirection service for the Unreal Tournament 3 server admins.

Beta testing script. When a file is uploaded to the Unreal Tournament redirect directory or the Unreal Tournament 2004 redirect directory an automated script will move those files to the hosting every hour. If your file becomes missing from both the HTTP site and the FTP site, then please contact me.

The site has gone though a major update which is clealy visible with the new colors and layout, plus a new page to thank the people involved. This is a beta run, so please let me know what you guys like/dislike about the new design and colors.


August 17, 2009

New redirect server setup for Unreal Tournament 2003 and Unreal Tournament 2004. The new server hosted at http://uz2.ut-files.com/ is set to go public immediately. Please be aware that there is roughly a 50GB cap on the amount of files to be hosted on the site for the time being. I'm not sure how long it'll take before I can get a new hard drive added to the server, so for now I'll just host what I can just to get it started. As always, please contact me using the contact page so you can get the login credentials to upload your custom content


July 10, 2009

I have had a bunch of people requesting a UT2k4 redirect. It's coming guys, I just have to add an additional hard drive to the server for storage of those files. The uz2.gameservers.net redirect was over 250GB in size; I don't have that much space on the current server's hard drive so an additional one will be required. This should take place sometime in the first week of August.


July 02, 2009

Now that gameservers.net is no longer hosting gaming servers, the free public redirect they used to offer is also gone. So ut-files.com is now hosting a public redirect server located at uz.ut-files.com
