My pc has crashed a few days ago, so i lost all my downloaded CoD4 jump files from codjumper :S
I came up with an solution: can you make 1 rar file per map and place all the jumps, bounces and nade throws in it of that map. So then you don't have to download all files 1 by 1.
Does something like this already excist or not? And do you guys think it is an good idee?
(I'm sorry if my English isn't verry good)

Yeh, in short, too much hassle.

Good point though. Always welcome :)

firstly - we can't auto update the rars for each map when a demo is added.
secondly - every time we update we have to upload a much larger file (the rar) and we end up hosting the same files twice.
thirdly - people will be downloading demos that they do not want or need (uncool for bandwidth e.t.c)
firtsly - I know, but you can update it for excemple every 2 or 3 months. And there won't come a lot of updates anymore for some maps (backlot, ambush, bloc, etc)
secondly - I thaught about that to. But then you just can upload youre files some where else (megaupload, rapidshare, filefactory) and post the link to it on this site.
thirdly - Same as the second.

Just see it like the vids you created and posted on youtube. Now you create an rar file with all the demos in it and host in on a file dump site.
