Hey @wulf,

I'm creating a script to download updates for my plugins every Wipe because checking if my plugins to see if they're out of date for 80 plugins is a lot of work, I get this error "Too many requests" would it be possible for you guys to host your plugins on a different server, CDN or Dropbox to get rid of that limitation. It would make sure your site would never slow down because of downloads.

Its just a suggestion and it would help me and a lot of other people too. I will understand if you don't want to do it though.

Thanks guys :)

I made it download every 2 seconds because 1 second is too quick.

You can have a free Dropbox account up to 2 GB the plugin filesize are so small. Can't they just use that ?

I am aware that this is a free service byt the way that's why I would understand if they wouldn't want.

Is this what you are talking about 

X-RateLimit-Limit: 90?

I see what your are saying @pookins, but you don't update all your plugins every time ? just so you don't have any issues ? Maybe I just like my server to be updated at all times, so many times I've been on a server where ah hell this plugin is not working or teleportation is not working because the admins aren't taking care of their server that's the only reason I am doing this, Plus I have 4 servers so I don't want to get behind on the things you know. :) but I completely agree with you on the config files and lang files but the data file I don't worry too much about this because I only update my plugins on wipe.

I update the plugin as soon as an update is released, The only one i dont is Nteleportation in case it wipes the "homes" data files as i have it set to wipe on map change or update. So i will be updating that one on Friday (Aus) , anyway, have a good a relaxing New Year

Ah ok Gotcha,

Hey I wish you and your family good health, happiness, success and prosperity in the coming year!

Yeah i'm working on that, by checking file size.

Basically what I would like to do is a loop to check all my installed plugins by comparing the file size before downloading so it takes less resources on Umod.org.

But I cannot figure out the linux command to check the files sizes yet.

@Wulf You can check this out, It prevents the blind downloading of plugins, but, If all plugins details EX latest.json were all in the same file it would be even better as the script could download that file, check locally instead of remotely via https://umod.org/plugins/plugin-name/latest.json for each installed plugins which would speed up the process and reduce the load of your server once people know about this auto-update scirpt.

Let me know what you think

The problem with "auto" updating plugins is that in some cases the config/data/lang files need to be deleted for the update, But in most cases they dont need to be and you would not want them replaced with "default" values when they dont need to be changed.
I "watch" all the plugins i use and update them when a new release is shown as being available and i can check the update information before installing it.

This, alot of times plugins break when just updating. Most recent example was RemoverTool where the default remove permission was renamed. Suddenly no one could remove anymore untill you deleted the old permission and added the new one. This is a big danger to auto update as it could result in a broken server.
