Hi all,

Most of you probably have heard/seen that Megaupload has been taken down by US Feds.
In response it seems some of the filesharing sites have started to change their policies regarding filesharing, and suddenly offering -personal- up/download only now.
This could even trickle down to services like Dropbox.... :-\

Although "collegue" AceMasterMind converted most of the trainingvideos to YouTube, there's still a lot of SI training material being hosted by FileFactory, and there might become a point that this isn't available anymore due to changing policies.
So if you haven't downloaded some videos or scenefiles and still want them on a HD, I suggest you start now just to be on the safe side.
Go to http://www.si-community.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1306 for the overall list of training and check what's being hosted on FileFactory.

This all could just be a temporary act of self preservation on the hosting websites part, but it seems the "weather" is changing. SOPA and PIPA may be dead in the water, ACTA is still there.
And it seems the innocent bystanders will be hurt once more. I don't want to pray doom and gloom, but better safe than sorry ;)

That's all folks!

rob

Very good point!!!
And to those of you still offering addons/plugins and the like through several filehosters, please remember to find an alternative host/mirror before the "sh*t hits the fan" completely. Remember: the si-community's "always" willing to host/mirror relevant addons/plugins and the like on our own server. Just contact us through the email address mentioned in these upload instructions.
