I downloaded it off firefox and 15MB/s, maybe it's just iffy, dunno.
why on gods green earth must we use this unknown website to download?! Never had to in the past, and I have to verify my email to download? Sellouts.

Because selfhosting got expensive and even with community donations, we were struggling to stay afloat ever since someone decided to aggressively scrape our site.

Nexus was told outright by Bethesda to not host Tale of Two Wastelands, and Eddoursul was generous enough to take us aboard.
The good news is that while it's an "unknown website", it isn't some sketchy 3rd party, it's run by an established modder in the community!
> Sellouts.
How so? Not like TTW stands to make any money.

Also I don't understand why using a website other than Nexus to downloads mods has to be a big deal. Because you need to make another account? Who cares?
Like it was said, it's all about cost. Stuff got too expensive to self-host TTW.

TTW has been uploaded to this site less than 1 month ago and already got 8k+ downloads. In the old site, we would sometimes have 50k or more downloads a month, all of this bandwidth is super expensive and money doesn't grow on trees. TTW is a non-profit project so it's not like we make any money from it and can afford to host the files ourselves.

Donations were all used to host TTW in the past and some team members also had to pay out of their own money for years. Still, even with donations we can't get enough money to host files anymore and team members can't afford to keep paying out of their own pockets either. So we changed to Mod:Pub, a reliable mod hosting site created by the trustworthy, talented and proven FNV modder Eddoursul.
"sellouts" it's not that deep. It's not that hard to see why they changed websites - to a better one at that.
Cuntwaffle by name, Cuntwaffle by nature it seems.
i feel like its broken somehow, no matter what i do, i always get two data errors when extracting the files from the installer. :c
Never played TTW before, do mods work with it or are there specific mods that are made to be used with it?

Check the FAQ:  "Do mods work with TTW?", "Is fix mod X compatible with TTW?" and "Are there any mods or files I shouldn't be using with TTW?"
JohnnyGuitar NVSE won't extract it just gives me this error. In case link doesn't work. the error says "an unexpected error has occurred" and it says error 0x80004005

Congrats on the upload.

By the way, the small exploit for Rivet City's Broken Bow (RCLowerDeckFore [06067488]) is still present. You can reactivate the Lock Mechanism Switch (060B2D8D, Fallout3.esm) to make the door lock as an Easy lock infinitely. It's insignificant, but just wanted to point it out.
Congrats everybody, now people won't complain about where to find them.
Congrats on finding a new home :)
