Version 8.0 Created
Hello again!
As expected, life is full of surprises. When everything seemed to be ok with the installer, Google Drive decided that Project Angelwing was being downloaded "too much", and denied the download to one of the users of FF8 Mod Installer.
With this in mind, I started to investigate and found out that the only quotas available for developers to change in GDrive API are by number of accesses. Clearly this was not the case, as I highly doubt that the packages were being downloaded more than 12,000 times a day.
It seems that GDrive simply decides when we can download the large files, no written rule was found regarding this. Other users were complaining and trying to find solutions, but none of them were feasible programmatically.
Therefore, in order to keep the files available constantly, I decided to change the file host. I moved all packages to Pixeldrain.com.
In Pixeldrain, some of you might find the download speed to be lower than it was (Daily high speed limit in PD is 5GBs, the complete mod installation is around 5.8GBs) and some may have country restrictions (Philippines, Egypt, Italy and India have restrictions), but this is the only way to keep the files available and without generating costs.
On to the costs part, to have what we have in GDrive or PD, using MediaFire, it would cost me around R$30 + tax a month (Considering 1 USD - 5 BRL). With this, I would have to pay R$360.00 + 12*tax from my pocket every year, to keep the COMPLETELY FREE mod installer available to everyone. Due to that, I believe PD will suffice and help keeping this tool working for everyone to enjoy.
Just to clear it up in case of any doubts, ALL PREVIOUS ONLINE VERSIONS OF THE INSTALLER NO LONGER WORK. I removed all files from GDrive, if they won't have me, I won't have them. If you have the first installer version, with 5GBs of file size, it will still work, but will not have the latest adjustments.
That all being said, I just tested version 8 myself and it works like a charm. It is available for free, and is ready to work!
Thank you all and have a great day!
Best Regards,
Cauê
