I don't know if im crazy or not, but the blue text to download all replays isin't there anymore.

found the link in a older forum post to get all wr's "http://www.lfsworld.net/get_allwr.php"

but it downloads an outdated WR pack list, some of the recent wr's are missing in the zip pack (most likely the ones i attached in the screenshot of the Overview page)

maybe this is just me in my end, pls confirm anyone.

I think I removed this as it looked like something that needed some proper updating.

I discovered it as it was one of the things spamming up the error log, which I was trying to bring under control. I didn't ask for the job of website maintenance but I got it anyway, and to my mind, part of that job is reducing excessive server load and error spamming.

My memory may be a little vague but I think it was recreating this world record pack every so often (can't remember exactly but... too often) and each time it did, there were many errors. I thought, this large file can't really be downloaded that often so why is it recreated so often. It seems like a "sledgehammer to crack a nut" type of solution and I really would prefer the web server to run more lightly, not constantly creating large files that people rarely want.

It seems to me that if there is really demand for such a file, there must be a better solution, that could be implemented at some point. Maybe some kind of solution that creates something more relevant, when required.

Anyway, although I am veering off topic a bit, after my recent efforts I am quite happy that there is around 10 KB of error text each day, quite an improvement over the 30 MB per day I inherited.

Just add

Hey gu3st, please use the "REPLY" feature instead of "QUOTE". It's usually the best as it just includes the first line, up to about 80 chars I think. Obviously we don't need to read my whole post again!

The REPLY has proved a popular feature and I'm so happy it is used because it means these pointless "whole post" quotes are seen less often.

I don't know if such demand exists, but it would be cool to have an archive or a way to archive WR's, that's the main reason I wanted to download the pack.

I mean it could still be done, manually, but thats 1284 clicks a one person has to manually do .

I just feared the possibility of all lfsworld record laps being wiped after the update and not having a way to actually preserve and see them, my plan was (if the wipe were to happen) to upload some of the laps or all laps into youtube or something... Which could be quite the task already, but I found it worth it since there's a godly amount of laps that are not only impressive, but old and valuable for me and probably others.

Of course all of this came on the assumption newer updated tracks would replace existing ones wiping lfsworld record laps, which you never confirmed or not, but i thought it was obvious.
