    Hey, this is very cool and all, but next time, please don’t use rapidshare… It’s going to take hours to download it…

    Posted August 30, 2008 |Permalink

    For an alternative, i can recommend drop.io. admittedly they;re limited in file size admittance, but you get a link of your own which you can monitor as often as you like.

    Anyway downloading your package as we speak — i reckon this could definitely come in handy. thanks for taking so much work off my hands and i imagine for many others!

  22. Posted August 30, 2008 |Permalink

    I like my site, i just thing it needs a background, games, music, and a link to it, but i dont know how to do these things, if anybody has the awenser, please let me know

    So, uh, when I try to unpack the texture download I am prompted for a password; what is going on there ?

    You want to give them away, but you don’t want anyone to use them ?

    Posted September 15, 2008 |Permalink

    Hang on, I got it; I have to download 100MB to use a single .jpg.

  31. Posted September 15, 2008 |Permalink

    @ Organic - Over 500 people have downloaded these textures with no problems so far, the first texture packs contain 70 textures making over 300 textures in total with the 5 rar files, there are no passwords on these files, so i can honestly say i dont know what your problem is, you can get some of the textures from my Flickr account if you click on see more. email me if you want these textures and ill try to sort your problem out.

    Thanks Max

    Looks like the download links to the textures are somewhat broken… any chance you can re-post?

  41. Posted December 3, 2008 |Permalink

    Looks like the first part has been deleted ill be re-uploading these, they should be up to day and renamed grungetextures.rar so you know that they are the new ones.

    later ill also try to get them on some other hosting sites just incase and post the links.

    Thanks for letting me know, Max

    If you’re not a paying member, rapidshare file hosting sucks. Have you thought about putting up a torrent?

    ill be uploading them to mediafire tonight so they should be up by tuesday 16th …hopefully this will help a few people who dont use rapidshare.

    I think if i created a torrent it would only allow 2 people to connect to it at any time.
