For some time now my web site has experienced frequent outages due to excessive traffic. As an experiment I've taken the Forgotten Futures CD-ROM zip file off the site. It was by far the biggest file on the site, and it's possible that repeated downloads were causing the problem.
Instead I've uploaded it to archive.org as a zip file, about 658mb - open the link in a new tab or page!
https://archive.org/details/ffcd-8-zipThis takes everything that was on the last release of the CD-ROM plus a lot of extra material that would have been on the next release if there had been one. It won't all fit onto a CD-ROM any more, but if you unzip it into a subdirectory of your hard drive it ought to work well.
Note - Links to
Empire of Earth, which would have been Forgotten Futures XII, do not work.
If you run into any other problems please let me know!
