Not sure what happend to my other post but i was wondering if i could get someone to give me another download place or like upload to www.download.com because my school doesnt allow me to visit the main lfs site that would be a big help lol thanks.

ah:( all of them are blocked...i can only get to download.com but i dont think that site allows uploads.. i came up with plan B to email the setup to myself and open my email in this class and that should work. haha i love loop holes in our school security.

You know that its over 100 MB, right?

You cant just take the .exe and use it.

[Flotch]

test:
http://75.126.74.69/LFS_S2_ALPHA_X.exe

[drone wolf]

noooo!! then what can i do!!!i must have a free upload site thats not blocked.

[tristancliffe]

There is no setup file to email. It's a zip, and several hundred MBs - you won't want to email that.

Besides, you don't want to play LFS at school, or you'll end up like Jack ;)

Sorry Jack, no offence meant

[drone wolf]

test:
http://75.126.74.69/LFS_S2_ALPHA_X.exe

blocked for security.virus reason.. thanks anyway.

[Flotch]

maybe downloading a .exe file is forbidden by the antivirus :shrug:

try this:
http://files.scum.co.uk/downloads/games/LFS/LFS_S2_ALPHA_X.exe
:shrug:

proxify.com ?

Our firewall at work blocks the download of pretty much any self-extracting archives so I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the case.

I certainly wouldn't try to email something that size to myself - it's definitely more likely to get flagged on the system than just traffic from other websites.

If you can get one of these nice people to upload a version that has the extension changed, you might get away with it that way.

But is it really worth the risk of installing it on a school machine? It'll probably have a crappy frame rate for one thing, and you'd probably be playing without sound by yourself using (at best) the mouse for steering. At the risk of getting into trouble for unauthorised software use? Not worth it if you ask me.

Just copy your entire LFS folder to a USB stick, take that with you to school, plug it in and play :shrug: Unless you don't have a USB stick or something similar, of course...

Or have Flotch change the file extension.

it is not my link, it is an american one found on lfs.net :D

Perhaps the OP has dialup / slow internet and is wanting to download it at school and take it home to play on his own PC...

How about changing the extension of the file to anything other than .zip / .exe... Just make it .abc., and then uploading it?

[Zachary Zoomy]

the computers at my school are soo crappy anyway I wouldn't play LFS. it would make hte game look bad. so I play google earth plus in flight simulator mode

Sorry Jack, no offence meantWhat, being forced to do 2 years worth of IT Work in 2 days through playing LFS with friends...? :p

[drone wolf]

Ok well im home now but yeh our computers at school arent to bad they have road runner and a decent mouse and keyboard but our security isnt good besides blocking every site...all i need is someway to get the file into my school computer and i dont have a gig stick all i need is some random site to upload the file that isnt blocked..

[Zachary Zoomy]

the computers at my school have a program called deep freeze that erases any canges to the main hard drive when the computer is shut off. that means I have to reinstall anything I use.

[dropin_biking]

Just throw it on a USB stick. Thats what I did to use LFS at school. It doesn't get picked up by any security program (even though they are a complete joke, and killing the process takes two seconds) It ran pretty good on our school's Dells (P4, 512DDR2, intergrated graphics)

Ian, do you know what RoadRunner is?

Well I'll help you out on this one. RR is Time Warners cable internet. It's very stable in most locations and has extremly good up/down speed and bandwith. It's considered one of the betters ISP's in the U.S. currently.

So what part in the oxymoron here?
Unless you wan't to start with "computers don't become good or bad depending on their internet connection", which still wouldn't make it an oxymoron.

just put lfs on a usb drive then bring it to school with you every day and just run it off the usb. or do what you said. either way. works the same
