FBI Mod

[shauneclifford84]

Could somebody email me the actual FBI Mod Patch to shauneclifford3@yahoo.co.uk

ta

[Rkiver]

No, go download it from Modlink and don't be so damn lazy.

[shauneclifford84]

im not beging lazy, the firewall on my college conection doesnt let me download anything straight from internet.

[Deepsmeg]

so, having it emailed to you, and downloading it over POP is different to downloading it over HTTP?

And, aren't you downloading the webpages making up these forums?

[shauneclifford84]

To download the patch from site, the connection has to go through firewall, which the system wont allow

however as a attachment to a email, the system lets it through as it doesnt check what type of file the attachment is.

[Deepsmeg]

Err?
Firewalls don't care about datatype, they care about traffic.
To view this page over HTTP, you DOWNLOAD it on port 80.
To download the mod, you DOWNLOAD it on port 80.

Can you see a difference there? I can't...

[coolsi]

Your point, Deepsmeg?

He said that his firewall prevents him from downloading the .exe file...it's not too hard, is it?

Also, what's with the "I know everything about downloading, POP and HTTP" attitude? Do you really thinkg that shauneclifford84 knows what you mean? Or do you just want to intimidate him so he doesn't come back?

[Deepsmeg]

But...
the firewall can't tell the difference between .htm and .exe,
ok, one's ascii and one's binary, but I'll wager he can download the buttons on the forums which are binary...

The firewall isn't stopping him, sure, there may be some other Local SecurityPolicy affecting it, but that's beside the point.

If people are going to make excuses, they need to make legitimate ones.

this is, after all, a hackers community

No it's not. It's a gaming community based around a hacking game, which is nothing like real hacking.

Ok, first this forum isn't downloaded as it internet based, 2nd ive worked with computers for years, and 3rd stop reading "Internet for Dummies" then acting like you know everything because you don't!

Now how do you like them apples?

[coolsi]

Err...of course it's downloaded...maybe YOU need to stop reading Internet for Dummies...

Return argument 1:

The data, in this case the forum pages (a collection of php files), is being transferred from the server to your client.

Downloading is the transfer of data, usually in the form of a file, from a server to a client.

Return argument 2:

Isn't the FBI mod internet based? Since the files come from an internet server?

-----

1 contradicts your viewpoint.
2 disproves your viewpoint using your own logic.

enjoy.

Slight correction in your post, Deepsmeg, though it alters your argument not one bit.

The data, in this case the forum pages (a collection of php files), is being transferred from the server to your client.

PHP files aren't transferred to the client. Data provided to the PHP script files is processed to create a dynamic HTML file, which is then sent to the client.
As I said, it doesn't alter your point about server-client data transfer, but a flawed argument is still flawed
