If we were to host our own AddOns from the start, then that would simply add to this problem, not solve it.Īlso, when we first launched our website (before we started working on the cross-site updater application), it was just another fan site containing a list of some nice AddOns that we thought users would like.Īnd just like many fan sites, such as the one mentioned above, we did host a number of AddOns on our servers, with the kind intention of helping offset bandwidth costs. This is because there has never been, and likely never will be, a single site that hosts every single AddOn, which causes users to have to monitor multiple sites or use multiple software updaters.
DOES WOWMATRIX STILL WORK INSTALL
One of the main goals of WowMatrix, like any other cross-site updater, has always been to fill a very important need in this community, which is to allow users to safely and easily install and update all of their AddOns, regardless of the site at which they may be hosted, at no charge. Why did WowMatrix connect to their sites instead of hosting AddOns on your own servers in the first place? We are now hosting AddOns on our own servers, such as the ones as requested by authors, as well as the ones that come with free distribution licenses. The main reason they have provided for taking this action is that users of WowMatrix were utilizing their bandwidth when downloading AddOns, which was costing them resources.Īlthough we do not agree with their actions, we respect their position in this matter, and so WowMatrix does not currently download AddOns from either Curse or WoWInterface.
On the day of patch 3.1, when users needed to update many of their AddOns, Curse and WoWInterface deliberately started blocking AddOn updaters (such as WowMatrix) from connecting to their sites.
