There's everything on the FTP server here - https://web.archive.org/web/*/ftp://ftp.ea.com/pub/ea/*

Literally everything.

Indeed,
seems many (if not all) files have been captured from the EA FTP. While most NFS related things are in the "pub/ea/" path, beware that some files have been stored in different locations.
(for example the Voodoo3 patch for NFS3 is at ftp.ea.com/pub/easports/patches/)

- EA FTP added to webarchive section

In that case, the better link would be https://web.archive.org/web/*/ftp://ftp.ea.com/pub/* as it allows you to have access to 142 pages of files. Plus, this would benefit whoever out there is looking for the FTP link and stumbles upon this thread which includes people that are looking for things for other games other than the NFS series, but that's a bonus.

Just in case someone doesn't know, you have to copy/paste the whole link and not just double click it.
Code: [Select]

The archived link to the pub-section of EA's FTP is in place under 'Files'.

For fino.w6.ru (4Lower mod) one rar file, the 'Key to the highway 1.8', has been archived; containing 19 tracks (including loading screens and edited text files for proper menu names).
Guess i will add it to the webarchive section as well.

Hey, since nfsunlimited is still up and running, i directly linked to their site, so its not going over archive.org.
NFSUnlimited is using an unencrypted http connection, so your browser is probably simply warning you not to give sensible data away on that site.
If the warning comes up, simply click "Advanced" and "Continue to nfsunlimited.net" (message may slightly differ dependeing on your browser).

I admit I haven't checked the whole topic to see if it was mentioned, but to my surprise this site is still up, though it hasn't been updated since 2000 (and the downloads no longer work) 
http://nfs.sports-gaming.com/
Might be one of the first NFS related sites I ever came across since I got internet. Also somewhat nostalgic to see its old style message forum (before sites started using Forum software like SMF, vBulletin, etc.) http://nfs.sports-gaming.com/forum/index.shtml

Hey Remko,
this site is listed in the other thread (Old NFS Websites - Nostalgia & History) at "RS Network" in the list. Because, like you noticed, no files can be downloaded anymore. I linked to archive.org, but indeed the site is still online and it will be easier to navigate the site with a direct link. Going to update the link.

By the way Remko, thanks for making the topic sticky :)

edit: btw archive.org saved one valid zip file for this page. A '97 Honda Accord mod for NFS II made by Mattheüs Patty ...

Well, that does give me nostalgia. You could go into edited cars and see screenshot of cars.

Ah, guess I overlooked it anyway. Seemed unlikely that I had managed to find a site that you'd have overlooked.  ;)  I came across it by pure coincidence, while looking up something NFS-related.

Certainly nice to see some of the big names from the NFS3 editing heyday: Tom Egelkraut, Patrick Wisselo, Scott Linfoot, Eric Arroyo (who went to actually work for EA on NFS: Motorcity) etc.

Do you know where to find NFS 5 updates? I need the official one, mainly 3.5.
I'm 100% sure the one that is on iplounge.net is not the official one as it has a cracked exe.
And exe is from 26.6.2000 and readme from 10.8.2000, so it was certainly packed later.
I also found the same one on Game Front and NFS-Planet, and slightly modified zip on Patches Scrolls.
