Update 2: The new server has been implemented. Download the v1.3.2 update from the UGX Map Manager thread in order to use the new server. Older versions of the Map Manager will not work until March 28th when the old server bandwidth resets. All downloads have been removed from the old server - you will only get a notification to update to the latest version when you open an older version of the Manager.

Update: We are currently migrating all downloads to a new server. The new server delivers even faster speeds and offers 10 terabytes of bandwidth per month. I will update this post when the migration is complete.


Well it's becoming quite obvious that 2 terabytes is only enough to get us through half a month. It seems like an insane amount of bandwidth for such a short time but when you add it up it really does come out to huge numbers.  The UGX-Mods forum alone uses ~50GB of traffic per month, but luckily that's a separate server from the downloads.

Delta and I think we've found a new server that will allow us to serve 10 terabytes per month for a reasonable cost, so we will probably switch to that server tomorrow assuming we don't find any problems with it in the mean time.

Please be patient with us while we work this out - I've received 10's of PMs and emails from people asking why they can't download files or maps, and there's been a flood of people asking in our Chatroom as well. Apparently the error message that says we are having server issues combined with the server status on the top of the homepage isn't clear enough? 

We're working on it and things will be back to normal as soon as possible

The new download server seems to be very unreliable with speed - my speeds are all over the place. Last night I was getting 5mb/s download speeds, and today I'm getting 900kb/s download speeds. If the speeds do not improve we may change hosts again, not a big deal to do.
