Hehe, seems that people like the big ones :P. Oh well, with enough support from the community, I am sure this server will work quite well :).

My connections a bitch so I only dload the medium size ones unless I really like the look of a bigun. That should change soon though :)

Sometimes the smaller mods seem more enjoyable dunno why :/

I've downloaded mod's for lots of different games, and that often determines the size of the file. For example alot of Bf1942 mod's are very large, 600meg plus, but Hlaf Life mods mainly are under or around 100meg and yeh, UT mutators are very small in comparison.

Sooo..I guess it depends on which game is popular at the time and the normal mod size for the engine/game.

I voted big mommaz :D

i guess mod sizes average out... some games require huge detailed textures / models etc.. while others require only a few lines of code to be changed

The smallest and funnest mod I ever found was the Mr Pants: Excessive Mods. Very small and great fun.

However I have also downloaded several mods along the lines of 50-100MB over the years. Very few over that.

Heh, it's more like what filesizes DON'T I download :P

I've been known to download four 600mb+ mods all at the same time. But with a 3mbps connection, that's really no problem.

lol, David Hunter in it's current dev stage is now spanning a total of 1.6 Gigabytes. It's all them maps and music I tell you. However, my most bandwidth eating mod is Epic Generals, even if it's only 700kb, it's been downloaded nearly fifty-thousand times from my server alone in the five weeks it's been available 0_o
