We just started using dropbox dot com with the ADL.

440 items for 820mb of space, they closed our public forder for use after just 20 hours.  Around 40 players or so were able to connect.  Is this typical for others that use the service for their ADL?
Using ClientCacheStrategy=2

Do  we have too many files or have I done something wonky with staging?

I would think it would be best to use the haks as presented (most if not all RWS haks have LZMA auto downloader compatable files) and let the vault act as a host for your ADL.

Never seen that before but it's reasonable to have happen when too much happens at once especially since they actually have to pay for you using that bandwidth.



40 players times 820 megs is 32 gigs being downloaded in 24 hours, you probably just tilted things. I am sure they have rules to prevent abuse of their service, when you exceed some threshold. You have to remember you are using a free account for personal backup. Having those 40 players sign up for dropbox and using you as a referral likely would help things as well, but you either need to contact them or set up a new account.



Since this should be a one time deal on that 32 gigs, your players won't need it again. Other option is posting the bigger static files that are not going to change on the vault if you expect 40 new downloads a night like what just happened, or getting a paid account. ( If you are going to move up to paying, using Amazon's s3 where you are billed for usage can be a good idea as well, technically that is what drop box puts your files to, but they have nice syncing features ).

Sounds like you broke your internetz.
