    okay, everyone is having trouble downloading builds manually... as we all know it's a "404" error, i noticed it also applies to the dev builds as well, the problem is the webpage (manager? generator?) is ignoring FOLDERS, so in the case of the latest DEV build, it links to
    "http://files.star-made.org/build/starmade-build_20140817_070312.zip"
    a dud link... the correct one is actually
    http://files.star-made.org/build/dev/starmade-build_20140817_070312.zip
    notice the dev in the second (corrected) link...
    the SAME issue occurs on the "normal" build page too...
    "http://files.star-made.org/starmade-build_20140810_202517.zip"
    notice the lack of "/build/"
    "http://files.star-made.org/build/starmade-build_20140810_202517.zip" (WORKING)

    the issue is not referencing the "build" directory... original code
    <a href="starmade-build_20140810_202517.zip">starmade-build_20140810_202517.zip</a>
    fixed code
    <a href="build/starmade-build_20140810_202517.zip">starmade-build_20140810_202517.zip</a>

    sorry if it seems rude, i'm just trying to make sure it's understood correctly.
    great game so far by the way.

    We're aware of this, builds are not intended to be downloaded manually with the new system.

    The links will be changed. The issue has been brought up in other posts. (Will post links when available).

    I see an issue with not offering the manual download zip files.

    servers. (yey, I'm ranting about servers again)

    We don't use the launcher to launcher servers. that would be silly. You can't automate it. So we have to download the zips to update. Removing them would make it unnecessarily difficult to update the server. Also, working at a GSP, I know that we don't use the default launcher. we use our own, that downloads the zips. again, making peoples lives more difficult.

    Why not keep both downloads and make our lives nice and easy, OR add a -update argument to the launcher so that when launched using it, it would automatically download and install the latest version, atleast letting us automate it.

    I am probably in the minority, but my internet connection is quite slow, and always glitchy. The Launcher is ideal for updates, but to download the entire file I almost have to use a download manager. Having access to the build files makes life much easier. :D
