Top Maps @ 17 Buddies - Download custom maps on the best global website !

The website has been transferred to a new server! I found a decent one for 33€/month. It will be expected to see quirks around, let me know if you have issues.

It will give us some time. I won't be able to handle the fee for long. Please consider donating!

I noticed there are way too many bots, I will figure out a way to block them.
Same for the people scrapping the website, I won't overlook this behavior anymore, please use the website the "normal" way. Let's have a better experience for everyone.
(When I changed the IP, 8000 bots was spamming the website :wacko

It seems to have session issues. If you fail to login from the site, you can use the forum.

I noticed you can't send message on the forum as well.

Arkshine:

Posting in the forum should work.

DL woprking for me, I do get a weird message about a proxy but im not using one

12-11-2025 at 10:54 PM

Der Meister:

1 for proxy message

12-12-2025 at 12:07 AM

Arkshine:

Clouflare enforces IPv6 connection but since the website/forum doesn't support well IPv6, I need to enable an option to keep IPv4, but it's not the real IP and it's detected as proxy. I guess I can remove the warning, doesn't matter much.

Arkshine:

@DarkGenius what issue do you have? Downloading works for me as well

isometricpanda2:

I don't get why you are insisting everyone pays for your server. If you can't afford 33 euros a month, why don't you just upload the map archive of people's work, instead of demanding people pay your server hosting bill.

Plenty of people (myself included) would just host it for free without restrictions.

12-13-2025 at 12:51 AM

isometricpanda2:

Yet you demand everyone go through your server (you somehow can't afford at your age?) and throttle downloads down despite you only serving 2-3GB of bandwidth a day which is hardly anything.

You are a terrible person, and its a shame people trusted their content with you.

Are you done? I’m not the creator of 17Buddies. It’s a platform, not a file dump, and it exists because of years of work by its original creator, Chapo. I don’t engage with people who insult volunteers while clearly not understanding the situation.

Fixed now thanks

Arkshine, do not pay attention to ungrateful people like isometricpanda2.

12-14-2025 at 2:05 PM

God Of Gaming:

while i do not agree with isometricpanda2's tone, reading it got me wondering, online hosting is annoyingly expensive, have you considered self-hosting it?

12-15-2025 at 7:28 AM

God Of Gaming:

I mean you can get an used laptop with decent specs for like 200-300 euros, host the website on it, pay barely anything at all for electricity, and just need to pay for the domain alone which is much cheaper than the hosting. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but wouldn't this work?

12-15-2025 at 7:29 AM

Arkshine:

That could work yes, especially when I got now a fiber connection. I thought about it, but I can't do it for the moment.

ParaBolt:

Yeh a few guys in my locality have been able to set such a server up mostly to host AI. It's feasible but indeed requires a good connection.

Seems like the autofill on the search function is broken. Anyone else having this?
