UPDATED - 2017-NOV-22
Files -- all sorts -- each download link should offer max speed without waiting:
https://spideroak.com/browse/share/dyn/files/vogon/
https://mega.nz/#F!GVNU0SrB!XyDkzhGT-679ToDdNjUY4A
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2jj0N-2N5yQYXBGLXM2eHVTdUk or https://goo.gl/c7j3qp
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=1CC83D95CF6DF6C9%21105 or http://1drv.ms/NBZ2YT

- downloads are secure, some hosts may offer "folder download", or download of multiple selected files in one go
- all links have the same files, we are using multiple as a backup & for speed
- you only need vgmini01.zip map pack (99.44 MB) for map server and q3wpaks.zip for CTF map server, if they are active
- for normal Q3 server you don't need any map pack, but you can download & test other files
- for maximum performance and to avoid any map/texture conflict it is best to remove any older map packs or individual maps

Update 2017-NOV-22:
Surprisingly all files are still intact on all hosts, years after uploading! Use those if you want reliable hosting. Mediafire is also great with old stuff.

Last night I tried emailing a demo of a bot to the above email addresses. Both were bounced back. Any thoughts as to why? Do the accounts not accept attachments? Does a demo need to be zipped/compressed?

Thanks

[dyn]

Should be fixed now. Use contact[@]vogon.vg only. Demos can be zipped or not, it's better to zip them, but any format is acceptable. I think attachment max size is 20 MB.

Thanks

I follow you in youtube, twitter, facebook and the forum.

Dyn you need (or maybe don't lol) to edit the first post because the link to the forum is broken. Anyways, I have been wondering what the likelyhood of getting a ustream or justin.tv channel going would be like... When i get a better internet service I'm going to try it out on my own but it might be something people like.

[dyn]

Thanks, forum merged both links for some reason, even when they are on separate lines.

Direct links to vgmini01.zip map pack (99.44 MB):

Facebook page seems a bit unused...is it still monitored? I shall test and see!

[dyn]

FB we never used much, most links are inactive, files are deleted. If we run maps again on Q3 server links with maps will be updated.

If someone needs any file in the meantime, let me know.

Hey, working on a file hosting... I am uploading stuff now, we will only use those services which offer fast downloads without registration or premium memberships, and which won't delete files due to inactivity. Ironically, it's often services which nag users with CAPTCHAs and waiting times deleting your files after a month or two.

[dyn]

OK, Google Drive is ready, it should offer great speeds worldwide. ⇧ check the first post ⇧

IMPORTANT: when we use maps on Q3 we use vgmini01.zip and in case of CTF, q3wpaks.zip. Other map packs you should remove, to speed up game loading and to avoid any map or texture conflicts!

[dyn]

Added MEGA and SpiderOak links as well. Very good services, definitely recommended! ⇧⇧

Old hosts removed:
FileFront deleted our files, they are Game Front now and have 60 days file deletion policy -- which means we won't use them anymore.
RapidShare underwent many changes, they also deleted everything, so they are not suitable for any serious hosting.
Megaupload is down, servers illegally seized by the FBI, so they have our files now. I emailed the FBI if they can send us those, but received no response so far. Bastards!

I am unable to connect to vogon.vg today. I usually check the server status page since my router still has problems viewing the server list.
Also unable to connect in client to q3.vogon.vg.

[dyn]

Yes, for now you can use either:

/connect q3.vogonhq.com
-- OR --
/connect 66.150.121.128

Server stats page is now located at: http://ss.vogonhq.com/

Glad to see you around!
