OK I normally back things on on at leats two formats I noticed this wasn't the case for WOFF. So I decided to Copy my WOFF download folder over to another hard drive...however abit after something wasn't working properly (nothing to do with WOFF) so I had to sign out and without thinking cancelled any programs that couldn't close at the time. I signed back in. Then remembered I was transferring ym folder so went to check. It then dawned on me I'd done cut not copy. SO I've no idea if everything transferred across. SO went to Avangate to download again as I remembered when buying it mentions upto 10 download limit. I was shocked to see this obviously lasted a very short time so there was no way I could redownload. This day and age I haven't seen anything so strict as this esp as I've never used the ten download limit you have at the start for any of the products.

Anyway could someone tell me how big their folder is for the downloads of WOFF the V2.0 upgrade and all the other add ons expansions..that way I know if it did transfer it all OK.

Mines around 7.31 gig including patches

I've included a screenshot of the folder.

Right - in total I have 7.75 GB

But I think I have a few incremental patches in there that you don't have

See attached screenshot for exact file sizes



EDIT - looking at your screenshot you show the WOFF 1 exe with the bin files, not the original RAR file

Here is what I have for these

Glad to hear it. As I found out many years ago you can never have enough backups. A screw up can really mess up backups.

I once lost around 4 separate backups of something important when my whole machine and all attacked drives blew up. Luckily I had a 5th backup on a laser disk although the player itself also fried. So many panicked days later I got another drive and was OK very lucky.

Anyway the links have always been time limited and we state that and encourage you to backup.

I understand it's avandgate policy not yours..just seems very harsh. Battlefront used to be similar but have since eased up.

It's probably impossible for about a zillion reasons, but that's one of the reasons I had always wished WOFF could have been made available on Steam (queue the Steam haters) as well as through the current provider because no matter what happens to your hard drive or system, you can always re-download it from Steam.

But I always try to focus on what I can do on my end and the net result is I have a 8GB DVD burned with all the latest WOFF installation files. For me, WOFF is worth the extra effort for a hard copy backup.
