http://www.nfscardownload.com/category/nfs-high-stakes is not availible anymore.Tried it a couple a weeks but it is always down.

MADMAN_nfs

Hey,
thanks for the info noise. The site www.cheats.de was closed down, so these files are also gone.

List has been updated.

Hi, I like to add Roby design (with a little shame, how could I overlooked him)

http://web.tiscali.it/Robydesign/

MADMAN_nfs

Seems this site is dead... only displays the tiscali.it main page for me. Maybe check the link again and make sure its not loading from your browser cache.

Thanks for the input, though. Back then, RobyDesign has made some nice cars.

Greetings

Yeah, the site doesn't show here too, just the Tiscali main page, like Madman says. For some reason I can't make it show up on the Internet Archive either.

Then I googled the site URL and via via I came across this page: http://web.tiscali.it/Robydesign/nfs/auto.htm - which is still visible, surprisingly. So do http://web.tiscali.it/Robydesign/nfs/links.htm and http://web.tiscali.it/Robydesign/nfs/eutility.htm - It's as if it's only Robys mainpage that is disabled.

Eager to see if the download links still worked, I clicked some of them, but each one sent me back to the Tiscali mainpage. And then I saw each of those links had a backslash \ in them, instead of a normal / -slash.
If you copy each url and manually correct the 'slash' issue, suddenly the link works and you can download the stuff.   ???  Isn't that odd? I wonder if that happened recently or that it always was like that and I had to do the same trick to dl his files back in '02/'03, I honestly don't remember.
Strange stuff, but thanks for bringing it to our attention and now we're still able to grab his stuff after all these years.

MADMAN_nfs

Ah... thanks for the hint Remko.

Thats the main page i assume: web.tiscali.it/Robydesign/nfs/nfs.htm

But you still have to apply Remko's trick to download anything. I will take a look into that afternoon.

Hmmm..everything works for me with the link I gave.I use Chrome browser b.t.w.

MADMAN_nfs

Yeah, you're right noise... works fine with Internet Explorer 8 and Google Chrome. So its a issue of firefox (Firefox 38) - thats really disappointing  >:( . Guess its time for me to change the browser.

Roby-Design added.

IE8? Really EIGHT? You're not using that one regularly, are you? (security advice ;))

OT: Site works fine in Opera (not surprising considering it's another Chromium browser).

Remko

Well I'll be damned, you guys are right, in Chrome all works fine, even the mainpage.  :o
I've been using Firefox since 2006 or so, all the time I assumed the site was gone, turns out it was just a browser issue, I never would have guessed.
I don't think I've ever come across links being fumbled like that because on account of what browser you use... Unlucky coincidence I guess, with a site that hasn't been updated since '02 (also explains why I had no problems all those years ago, I was still using IE then).

MADMAN_nfs

Nah, I'm not using Internet Explorer at all... thats why its not up to date  ;). But even this old IE, which has a pretty bad reputation concerning compatibility, displays the page perfectly fine.
Using Firefox as long as i can remember but recently i experience more and more issues with it. On my mobile devices i use chrome anyways.
Since it seems like the most compatible browser, i probably will switch to opera, too. Or use various.

But lets not start a discussion about browsers haha ... probably won't end peacefully  =D
Each to their own.

How about another authorsite:

http://free-zg.htnet.hr/scw/index.htm

on button ''Gamecars'' you find 4 nfs4 cars by scw

MADMAN_nfs

Thanks again,
but the download-links there aren't working (tested with different browsers  ;) )

Greetings

Hmm..don't work indeed.Don't include this site than, there's no update since 2004 and SCW cars are all availible on nfscars.net anyway.
