Hey guys,
I have heard from a couple of you having some issues downloading some of the tracks. Right now they are just housed on my Dropbox account. We are trying to figure out an alternative place to house all of the Downloads for GBR.
I may need to look into renting some server space somewhere so we can FTP the files to one location. Bare with us while we sort this all out.
Thanks.

About how much space are we talking? I may be able to host the files.

Another option to keep in mind is the one click install option at rFactor central. It costs $4.95 per month, but it really does make the process of downloading and installing mods, tracks and cars much easier and quicker, and it provides some financial benefit to the rFactor folks behind the scenes. To me, its a small, but still measurable cost to pay for the convenience and quality. For anyone on the fence, I strongly recommend it.

The 1 click install is awesome, but several of the tracks we use are not located at rfactorcental.
Planning on housing all of the specific GBR downloads (mods, tracks, plugins, etc) at one location.
Kelly - Not sure how much we need at this point. Probably 3-4 gigs would do. We will end up putting all of the downloads for the V8's, Street Stocks, and Spazcar on there.
F1 thinks he can hook us up with some server space. He's going to check on it tonight. If for some reason that doesn't work, I'll follow up with you on that. Thanks for all your help guys!

Oh yeah, I got space. Don't worry. 24/7 monitored server in a datacentre. No problemo.

Kelly, is your server in North America? Mine isn't and latency reduces download speed to around 2 Mbps per connection.

Hey guys,
Stinky has graciously volunteering to offer server space. He has a lot of extra space.

If you need more space or want another source I checked with my host today and whatever we need is no issue.
Cheers!

I'm having trouble with the downloads currently. I've inputed every password and username I can think of and nada.
