hi,

i think paFileDB might be what you are looking for. (can be found at: http://www.phparena.net/scripts.php?script=pafiledb )

as for licencing it is not GPL but it is free to use on personal/commercial sites as long as you keep the copyright text.

regards w.

Hello. Can Mediawiki be used to create something like: http://www.tessource.net/files/ http://nwvault.ign.com http://www.fileplanet.com

What other GPL software could be used?

There are many similar game related file sites. I'm looking a possibility to set up yet another service because all the sites have problems. All offer downloading one file at a time -- we can offer additionally an ftp download, making it easy to download all the files in one go. Most of the sites require registration -- we have anonymous ftp/http. Many sites also have annoying pop-up advertisements -- we have none.

I recently purchased a game for which the sites have thousands of additional files. While not every file is interesting, I greatly would value a download service from which I may download all the files in one go. Just like I download my Linux distribution files.

Juhana
