If I had the time, patience and ability, I would happily re-make all these awesome yet lost dats we can no longer obtain. /sigh, maybe someday.

Thats too bad :<
I could probably host it, although don't know about bandwidth. If they gave the database and files. I'd renew the domain most def!

How much bandwidth do you think would be needed for this sort of site?

Hmm, about how much space and how many DAT files was on FFXIdats.com?
I could try re-hosting them on my website.

The files were mostly less than 1MB, but I'm not sure how many there were, if I had to guess and ballpark it, maybe 500ish...?
I didn't go into the taru/hume/elvaan/mithra areas so maybe they had a lot more than galkas did, I could be off, less than 1000 files though I'm positive.

That's not so bad. I'm barely using the space and bandwidth on my GoDaddy account, so I'm sure I can handle it.

I made a post on another thread similar to this one a whileback.
If my memory serves me right, a couple of the chaps from FFXIdats.com re-hosted a bunch of the files over at: http://thegoblintailor.forumotion.ca/

If a few people could team up with me to be admin/mods I could setup a site to host the dats, it would not be a custom site but would work well I think for this type of hosting. PM me if interested, I am looking for people that would help for at least a year. Once I have about 5 people I could get a site up in about a week.
When I say host, I mean actually putting the files on my host's server so they dont get lost on some free host.

does anyone still have files for the Elemental Spirits that looked like sprites? Each sprite was designed for each element. Here is an example:
(photo not mine, i got a copy of it from screenshot section in this site)
i registered on those other sites, after ffxidats.com closed but they don't share those files there.

I'm pretty sure ffximc.com still exists, it was smaller than ffxidats.com but it might become the new standard now that that site is gone.

I offered to make a site, no one has contacted me to help in maintaining such a site.

(...raaaaaaaaaaaaat...)
Not sure how new this news is, but much to my and many dat modifier's dismay, FFXIdats.com is closing down sometime this month.
So just a reminder, download everything you could possibly want there before hosted links to all your goodies go bye bye forever. Also if anyone else knows of a site that shares a community of customized dat hosting for FFXI, please share the love.
inb4 TOS infringement blah blah blah
