I was continuing my process of checking the maps in the database and downloading the ones I don't have that are good and so far the links have worked well that I have tried (granted there is a bunch of stuff I am not downloading due to it being obviously crappy) however I encountered my first link errors today:

I just stopped checking as it occured maybe the server is down at the moment? Though I tried another map that I had uploaded and it let me download just fine so probably another issue.
Also, I've noticed a bunch of maps with the same names uploaded on to Nibbits, I am guessing this was before there was a check in place for that? As these are all maps uploaded on April 11th and 12th of 2008 (at least 270 or so of the 349 pages of maps are) so maybe the mass upload accidentally uploaded a few multiple times? Or maybe they were all uploaded before the switch to the new site (just guessing) and people keep re-uploading the same maps to try and have them at the top of the list. Anyway I didn't make a list as I went through but there are a lot of maps that are in the database 2-3 times, a few even more than that.
While you're at it, if you find any really good maps, nominate it for featured here: http://www.nibbits.com/sc/forums/6/view/177/
Hmm, all the links are now working this morning, not sure if they got fixed last night or they were just temporarily not working last night.
I'll nominate some when I have time to do write-up's and get a chance to play more of them.
Oh yea, and finally an example of the same map on here multiple times. On page 86 (with maps listed from most recent submitted date to least recent) YP Problems Single Player is listed twice on the same page about 8 maps apart from itself.
Was fixing a bug with our rankings system last night so they were erroring temporarily :)
Is that why some games are saying ^ 2,147,483,647 ?
I know there aren't that many games on this site :P
Haha ya that's related to last nights "fix".
The good: no more downtime, ever (don't hold me to this!)
The bad: I slipped up last night, fixing now ;)
Another multiple example is on page 15 (by date) NBA 1.4 LiVe (1.4.4).scx map is uploaded three times on that page and once on the page before.
