Some very cool textures. I overlayed a few similar textures over at my new site to create a subtle textured effect.
Textures really add depth to a website in my opinion.

That’s it.

Hey there, awesome collection, but can’t download it… You seem to be out of bandwidth! Any chance you upload these on a Mediafire or else?
Let us know! Thanks!

Cannot download:
“This user is out of bandwidth.

Probably due to the Digg article this AM…

Jan 27, 2009
We’re working on the bandwidth issue. Thanks for pointing it out.

Still no love on downloading these.

I’d be happy to host a mirror on my server, if someone can get me the files-
Jan 31, 2009
The zip files should be back on line now.

Sorry about this. This is the 3rd time it’s ran over the bandwidth limit. I am debating on what to do. They are currently hosted at MediaFire.com, but I am looking for a better solution. Any suggestions?
Feb 6, 2009
i would love these bg images – but cant download them – any chance you could set it up again for download?
Thanks

Hey, could you use something temporary like yousendit.com? I’d really need something like this for my design! Much appreciated!

Amazon S3 storage is only $0.100 per GB. So $1/TB is pretty cheap– if you put a PayPal button up to donate $1 or even $0.50, people would probably help you out!

Just an idea. I have used it to distribute files to the masses.

Great resources, but still can’t download.
Any followup news on this?
I can host the files on my server, if you want.
Please let me know.
Feb 13, 2009
Someone hook Miname up! He’s willing to host the files!
They look fantastic, so if there’s any way to share these things again, get it on! Thanks!

What about hosting them on Drop.io? The only have a 100MB limit per free hosting, but the textures could be broken up into multiple hosted packages. Drop.io is a pretty cool service.

Nice textures. I am downloading now – but if you have problems like this in future you might want to think about uploading to http://www.ShareCG.com – I have not yet heard of them having any problems with downloads being unavailable, and I have texture freebies available there myself.
If you’re interested just search for “franontheedge”… in fact I hope to have some more new textures to upload there soon.
Thanks for the Grunge textures, I love grunge and rust and damaged surfaces. I suspect I’m weird that way.

Great piece. I love how some of the things we *think* when we see a design are converted into articles on this site. Keep it up! I quite liked the understated earthly tone of this site – http://karlaporter.com/
