If you are sharing a release, please try to follow these tips to the best of your ability.

1: Add a client link to your post.
2: Have a spoiler of past commands. (This can be a simple dump of your command logs)
3: Make sure server files are [wget] friendly. (mega.co is not wget friendly, you have to install megatools which in centos does not work really well.)
4: Add comparative notes to all updates. (Example. Client Release (Nov 15 2015)[1378]= Official Client (June 10 2014)[1378]
4A: This will allow people who just came across your files, to know exactly what client versions to get in case your client link is dead.
5: Separate your file releases into [Local] [Live] categories
5A: [Local] -> This category will hold virtual images, so that we can simply download and plug in.
5B: [Live] -> This category holds raw source files for a server, that way I can simply we get them from a dedicated server.
6: Make sure you actually link a zip file of a client, not parts or a link to a website, as websites like xtreme changes.

Thank you.
