For the time being, the beatmap hosting situation seems to be resolved. I have had to do a bit of shuffling due to circumstances out of my mortal control, but with a bit of luck things will remain calm from now on. This doesn't mean the download setup won't change, but I have enough bandwidth to keep things going. If anyone can still offer their help with hosting, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Note that there are still some restrictions in place, though you should not feel these under normal usage conditions. Also, downloads may not show the filesize of the map as you are downloading. I hope to resolve this in the near future, if possible.

@ abalee

Please make sure you do not post any beatmap links outside of the beatmap forums because persons without an account in the server are not allowed to access the beatmaps. Contact a mod if you are unsure about where to post.

Thank you for trying to help with bandwidth problems. :D

I don't see this being a huge issue. The main reason for not linking publicly was when the links were to files on our servers and I wanted to reduce the bandwidth. Mediafire etc. is fine, though.

okay, no worries. I never realized it was only a bandwidth issue.

Carry on then.. :oops:

He was talking about newly ranked ones. Newly ranked ones aren't in a pack. :P Otherwise you should be downloading packs if some maps you need to play are in a pack.

download then play helps but it cost's more time to play all new maps and i just like downloading all new maps at ones with my download manager not finding out that only one file had downloaded ( I have about 95% of the maps in beatmap packs )

What is the exact limit, by the way?
I ended up getting a "You downloaded too much, go get packs" message earlier today, then waited an hour or two and still got the message.

I can download now, but I was previously under the impression that it's 5 minutes between songs.
I'd just like to know the exact limit, as to be more careful while chigau is still in this state.

Nevermind.
Ignore this noob's post, he's an idiot who talks in third person just realized why he can't download maps in packs.

This limit download really bummed me out today, but then again i can see that osu might be reaching its limit. Ill sure be making donation soon to help the cause. I really love this game and the design of it. wow i was just impressed.

Edit: i did notice 2 new map pack achievement. If that could be extended a little more, people would probably download packs from a different source and reduce bandwidth. im not very active on the forums so i dont know how far it has gone...

You can download all ranked maps in packs from mediafire, see the links at viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1853 (peppyedit: or use the beatmap packs page from the site menu.)

The links for the theme packs are at viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4241 (peppyedit: or use the beatmap packs page from the site menu.)

Note that most maps in the theme packs are ranked maps and therefor you should have them if you have the ranked beatmap packs, but a few maps here and there are actually approved maps and there are not beatmack packs to download approved maps, so you have to get those individually from the osu site.

When you hit the limit, the message tells you if the map is available in a pack. The limit is higher for maps which are not available in packs. Seriously, if you download a map then play it, there is NO WAY you can hit the cap - it is just too high for that.

Change your style a bit (or donate i guess) and you won't have any problems.

Old songs are in beatmap packs. The beatmap packs are available for external download. Nobody is unable to download these.

seriously, get lost if that is your purpose. i am this close to banning your IP already...

deleted post from someone promoting this idea.

i am THIS close to removing downloads totally from the osu! site.

That isn't really the problem - the fact is I have nowhere to host beatmaps.

The main server costs around USD$150/month

Meant to say this a couple days ago, but I'll say this now; don't even bother using osu! as a music service. That was never its intent, and I've told a couple people now that a new format for the maps and such is coming. What does that mean? It means you won't be able to get the mp3s. Use another service if you just want to get mp3s, honestly. osu! isn't the place; it's only real intent is to be a rhythm game, a fun one in fact. There are already enough freaking services to get your mp3 fix; use one of those. (Besides, the mp3s often aren't as good as the ones you can find elsewhere)

I mean, seriously... Looking into the change log a few minutes ago made me quite happy, honestly.

This is an excellent idea, and kudos if the implementation is solid, which is inevitable given peppy's dedication should he dedicate his time to it.
