Permalink Broken or missing downloads January 29th 2005

Source: JCF thread

The Downloads section has a lot of files which are missing, broken or in some other way undownloadable. This is rather unfortunate. Please visit this JCF thread for a full list of files we are missing and would like to have sent to us. If you see a broken download which you do not already have, please report it using the report button. If you have downloaded it before, please send it to either Fquist or myself for reuploading.

On a happy note, the following files have all been reuploaded and can be downloaded:
Shrunken Jazz
Egypt
Attempt to make robot boss hard!

Update:
I decided that we could use a little checking and I wrote a script to find what levels were missing and found that 102 levels are missing. If you have a level that is missing please reupload it. You can find the massive list here.

Or if you have one of the files that is missing and you are not the author, please send it to j2olevels@politiekblog.com and we’ll reupload it ourselves.

Anyone in need of Tomb Rabbit?

To help supplement the costs of hosting, domain name registration, and forum software I have decided it is time to accept PayPal donations for Jazz2Online. Regardless, J2O will continue to exist and will still provide the community with its resources.

Donations will help pay for existing bills; all money will be used carefully. You are free to click the new Donate to Jazz2Online link at the right or here for complete details about donations. If you have any questions please contact me and I will be glad to talk to you.
