Does anyone have some of the missing FR Archives from WotC website. I am downloading them all onto a USB but the 2002 article - Chosen of Deneir, is no longer there (as well as some others that escape my memory). Anyone have any of these saved?? Thanks!

Actually, it is still there. I believe that the web guys at WotC never really take files down from their site -- they just don't update the links to them. I know of some rtf files -- including the Roll of Years -- that have been on the site since 2000, but which are no longer linked to. If you know the URL, or if your Google fu is up to the task, you can still find them.

In this case, here's the link you want: http://ww2.wizards.com/Books/Wizards/?doc=fr_deneir

Ahh, thank you Wooly. Yeah the link on the wizards archives site juist links directly to the novel section. I will use a search engine to look for the missing files. Thanks!

It's always a good idea to save/download these types of articles when they first pop-up on WotC. As I have always done. It saves you from the pain and difficulty of trying to find these sources later [and after much WotC site restructuring] when you really need them.

They revamped their site a few years back, and hosed a lot of the existing links. In a lot of cases, if you change the first part of the link, you can find the info.

Yeah, ditto that. I've got just about everything of interest saved as a Word doc or a pdf file, and sometimes both. I got into that habit years back, just as a way to keep the info handy. It was an especially good practice when I had a simple modem as my internet connection.

And compiling the info into .doc or .pdf files makes searching for particular references somewhat easier -- especially when you know which series of Realms articles to look through.

Maybe. I've got a USB drive with me at work today which stores a couple thousand Realms-based files. What're you looking for exactly?

Would you believe, everything

What I currently have on my USB are the 2000, 2001, 2002, 2006 and 2007 archived items from WotC (except for the ones with broken links which I can't remember exactly) and I of course have all the Candlekeep Compendiums on there as well

Hmmm... That's quite a lot of stuff then. And it could take some time.

What's your email like? Can you receive large files for download or should I just upload the relevant files to a temporary download site for you to access later?

I would be quite happy to have access to downloadable versions of everything as well (I know that everything after a certain date is downloadable, but if you could just stick everything into a single zip [or similar compression] file and put it on a free files hosting site that would be awesome!

Okay, this seems to be generating some interest. So a temporary download site probably won't be enough, since the files can only stay uploaded for a brief time. I'll look into storing them for download on my "very-soon-to-be-created-blog[winks at Wooly]-and-website" and post the address here.

Ah, I see. That means with eighteen weeks, instead of eighteen months.

Aye.

I'll post the address here when it's ready. RapidShare apparently doesn't like the files I'm trying to upload at the moment, so my own site is really the only alternative now.

I have found hotlinkfiles.com to be a pretty good site for free file hosting. That is where I upload my character sheets. It has a file size limit of 50 MB though.

EDIT: The 50 MB limit is only per file, you can get up to 1 GB of storage space and 4 GB of bandwidth for free.

An update of sorts...

I've just discovered an unused portion of the site I use for work. It's got plenty of space for uploading files, so provided it's not currently marked for development, I should have a place to store some of the files Alisttair's been looking for.

Aye. That's why I want to make sure that part of the site isn't tagged for later development before I use it for my own purposes.
