since you apparently use a script (and one can never underestimate the feeblemindedness of people around here), have you tried passing it as application/x-rar-compressed in addition to just changing the file name?

all bets are off

wow, if you really are this bad please don’t have a go at being patronising to someone who knows what they’re talking about, since you clearly don’t understand the concept of a rarball.

don’t attach irrelevant ramblings to my posts, thanks

wat

The whole script thing is entirely unrelated to the attempt to upload a file for which I had manually modified the extension.

i overestimated your attempt, my bad

Quoted from Spike Himself

Besides, for as far as I’m aware, uploaded demos are checked by admins manually, so your suggestion wouldn’t have made a difference anyway.

they’d still be able to extract and watch the demo. i dont think the admins open the archives comparing magic numbers and reject them based on that

well then i beg of you not to make comments yourself when you make it self-evident that you know fuck all about what you’re talking about.

and why would a 7z file disguised as a RAR not suffice?

doesn’t require any extra effort from anyone

if you consider this to be a ‘solution’ then you are seriously retarded.

considering the main issues people seem to have in this thread, i’d say it’s valid

“You get a better compression ratio than with zip format” – check
“hurp durp upload script doesn’t support zip/rar” – check

it solves the problem, thus solution

all was well

Please continue to live up to your name, d1ck, it amuses me.

By “overestimated” you mean “utterly failed to understand”, right?

did you not simply rename the file to “xxx.rar”?

hahaha, wow, you really don’t know what a rarball is, do you!

Tarball? Tar archive? Shit son I dunno.

tarball i’ve heard. rarball? nope.

i couldn’t care less either, as my suggestion works as long as they don’t use some horridly outdated software.

anyway, i made a suggestion, but you just seem eager to instigate a fight.

i’m all for it should you live nearby, but you really shouldn’t litter the forums with your troll bs.

thanks
