gbrandon get off your hight horse m8 ... sorry to say that but it would be easyer if it was on a ftp site ... as some people have never used ng`s . so it would be easyer for people on dialup to get it off a ftp site

                                    Not really, with easynews.com and news2me.com, both usenet server providers have WEB interfaces... news2me.com has an outstanding search facility (search for files across ALL binaries groups!!) and is $10/month for 50GB of downloads.

I use both (easynews.com has better retention) and never have to touch a usenet reader.

Even those on dialup can use these two services.... just use a download manager like Getright (the one I use) and it's a lot less hassle then finding an ftp and HOPING it doesn't go down or isn't some ratio-based site, or that it's bogged down with too many users accessing files.

$10 a month, 50GB of high-speed leeching!

                                    Please explain to me how its easier to get a file through ftp than usenet with a dialup rather than on a broadban connection. Is it because you are using a ftp program rather than a web browser? think about these 2 scenarios..

1) for your ftp , first you have to know the filename your looking for, then you have to find a site, (which is what you as well as others are doing right now in this thread) , then start your ftp program on you pc, type the site ip address in, then log into it, do dir listing for the file you want, then transfer the file. (and thats not counting if the sites full, or goes down, or any number of other things that could screw you...)

now, lets look at scenario number 2..

2) start internet explorer, type www.easynews.com, login, go to favorites (binaries.xbox), in the search box type slayer's evox, click the file and its downloaded to your computer.

Now please tell me whats faster?

Maybe im not getting this right... I made the iso fine, and booted up to it (btw, you should consider making the ip address option in evox.ini default to automatic instead of static. I never changed it before I made the iso and had to keep resetting my pc's ip to switch between the web and the xbox. (my local ip is 10.10, not 192.168). Anyway, it boots up to the evox 3285 dashboard just fine. I can view my ip, go the ms dashboard, pick the rest of the options, etc. But nowhwere do I see a dashboard like other people have (pick game from hd, view dvd movie, etc.) How do I install that part of the dashboard? Mr.X

Sorry for the confusion gbrandon, but the reason I made it a fixed IP is because most users do not have a DHCP server or a router installed to issue IP addresses to their xbox.   Any advanced user that does have DHCP would also be able to edit the evox.ini enough to turn on DHCP.  By doing it this way I was trying to make sure it works with the biggest install base.

For anyone interested here is the main menu that appears once wou make the UDF disk and boot with it:

               Backup All Current System Settings
   --------------------------
               Rebuild Upgraded HD on V1 xbox
   Rebuild Retail HD on V1 Xbox
   --------------------------
   EEPromer (Backup and HD Lock/Unlock)
   --------------------------
   Flash TSOP BIOS of V1.X Unit (EvoX vD.6_EjectFix)
   Flash TSOP BIOS of V1.X Unit (Xecuter2 4974 IGR)
   --------------------------
   MS Dashboard
               System Settings
   Power Off Xbox

I will make an ISO as well and post it and if there is enough demand.  I might even make a DHCP ISO and a Fixed IP ISO.

Everyone, let me know what you think....

When I am in the dashboard and go to system settings, then ms dashboard I get a "your xbox needs servicing messgage".

It's probably that u haven't locked u'r HD yet....  In order for the original dash to work the HD needs to be lock.......  If u have a 1.0 XBox u can use the epromm prog to do it.. (If u got a 1.1 XBox then u will need to do it from u'r PC... the old fashion way ).....

Update:  Also make sure the Evox.ini points the the right file name in C:  in the MSDash: part of the Evox.ini...  it should be something like C:\XBoxDash.xbe or what ever name is the originals dash u have in u'r C:

If it's already lock then u might want the overwrithe the xboxdash.xbe in u'r C: to the original to make sure u got the correct one in there....

K...  We would like to find a ftp that can let people direct link to it...  U would just have to click on the link to get it...

If not that then a regular ftp is good for all those that doesn't have a news server that has the XBox group....   A lot of ISP news server doesn't...  EasyNews is a the best alternative for them but at $10 per 6GB is kind of steep...  It's only a couple of rentals in some places so it might be worth it...  Specially since people post games in there too....

We tried to uploaded to XBins ftp server but they were not insterested....  They said it was to big(60MB) and that they already had all the parts(although seperate) in there....  We understand... I guess they can't spare any bandwith....  So we are still looking for alternatives....  

If u can't wait to get it........ U might want to log into Kazza tonight...  U might find a good supprise....  

U can always get u'r News Server info from u'r ISP provider... but there are no guaranntees they have the main XBox group on them...  

Never mind.... 1wolf1 got a FTP server....  Thankx  sphere man

Ok.

this is how its going to be.

Im going to reorganis the ftp server.
the only thing you are going to able to download is the slayer auto install.
if you want anything else make a txt document with your name email and what you want. upload it to the ftp and i will see what i can do for you.
ppl who are trying to take more then 1 slot on the ftp will be banned for 24hours.


sorry for the rules but due the popularity of the slayer file there are already over 35 user's on the ftp. 35 users who wants to take 60mb i dont mind that i like being there for other ppl but dont take advantage of it.
