[BTAutoMag]

he means how big the file that contains AO is.

[Frizzle Fry]

I've read this comment several times and still dont understand it.

In Portuguese the word for "big" is also slang for potato. Simply a translation error.

[BTAutoMag]

No, it's not! LOL I don't even translate anything as I write in English.

Anyways, what I meant was what BTAutoMag said: I wonder how big (in Gigabytes) is the database on which AO is stored, after so many years. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Sure...

Just my personal directory was over a gig. Some of the other mods had directories that were multiple gigs. This is a LOT of data that has to come down without compression.

Hmmm?

you were perfectly clear, some just don't get it, or have got to learn to read it AGAIN.

If they can blame firearms for crime you can blame autocorrect for mis-translations.

More issues with the download. Some areas of the server are still inaccessible due to Linux. Experts are being called in.

Files downloading now. SQL database backups next.

Personally, I would have done the SQL backup first. The files, while part of AO, are important. However if the server or database goes down, the SQL backup would preserve the post history and content. The files wouldn't.

Agreed. I feel like these Delaware guys don't really know what they're doing.

Well maybe now by this time they are doing that (two days later).
