I've seen old download links of Thief 2 Fan Mission packs but the few ones that I found didn't work anymore. I believe Komag (Happy birthday by the way!) used to have a 6gb mission pack as well but I'm not sure if that ever got uploaded on the internet.
Thanks in advance!

Well, you can still use thiefmissions.com to download fan missions... wait, packs?
Like, you want just a link to download a whole bunch of FMs at once?
Niborius on 22/3/2016 at 19:31
Yes, packs ^^
Instead of downloading missions one at a time I'd like to store my darkloader with a whole bunch of them.

There was a torrent running for awhile, but I think that's no longer available. And Komag has retired and is no longer providing his CDs. I don't know of any other packs out there. I think you'll just have to download them one at a time.

It's not quite a pack, but a while back I wrote a powershell script to parse (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144797&) this thread and download every fan mission it can find. It doesn't work perfectly but it did manage to download 10gb worth of fan missions for me.
Code:
$root_url = "http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144797&"
$dl_hostname = "www.thiefmissions.com"
$fm_list_html = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $root_url
$fm_list = $fm_list_html.Links
$counter = 0
$max = 0
foreach ($fm_link in $fm_list)
{
if($fm_link.innerText -eq "Download") {
++$max
}
}
foreach ( $fm_link in $fm_list )
{
if($fm_link.innerText -ne "Download" ) {
continue
}
$fm_dl_intermediary = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $fm_link.href
foreach ( $dl_intermediary in $fm_dl_intermediary.Links )
{
if( $dl_intermediary.innerText -eq "here" )
{
$dl_page_href = $dl_intermediary.href
$dl_page_uri = "${dl_hostname}${dl_page_href}"
$dl_page = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $dl_page_uri
foreach ( $dl_link in $dl_page.Links )
{
if($dl_link.innerText -eq "here")
{
++$counter
$start_index = $dl_link.href.LastIndexOf("/")+1
$fname = $dl_link.href.Substring( $start_index )
echo "Downloading ${counter} out of ${max}: ${fname}"
$fname = "C:\shtesting\${fname}"
$file_url = $dl_link.href
$wc = New-Object net.webclient
$wc.DownloadFile(${file_url}, ${fname})
break
}
}
break
}
}
}
Some quick notes before you go:
1) (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2035193/how-to-run-a-powershell-script) This stack overflow explains how to run a powershell script.
2) If you skim through the script you'll see the line $fname = "C:\shtesting\${fname}". This saves everything to the folder shtesting in the C:\ drive. Assuming you don't want to download stuff there you probably want to change this.
3) This won't successfully download every fan mission in the thread, but IIRC it worked for most of them. It's been a while since I used it so for all I know something could've changed and it might be broken entirely now...
4) No warranty, as is, public domain, etc
5) If this still works it probably would be smart for someone to turn its output into a torrent, this incurs huge bandwidth on w
ww.thiefmissions.com's servers. But I'm kinda lazy so someone else can do that if they're so inclined.
I hope this helps.

There is a limit to how much any one person can download from Thief missions per day now so I'm sure you won't get anywhere near 10GB in one day.
Yandros on 29/3/2016 at 02:19
I don't think Jason has those limits in place anymore, but I could definitely be wrong.
john9818a on 29/3/2016 at 02:44
He hasn't been around in a long time so I didn't know if he had kept the limits or dropped them.
optyk on 5/4/2016 at 09:57
limits are still there, allowing only 2 downloads at same time
Renault on 5/4/2016 at 14:17
That wasn't the limit being discussed though. I don't think thiefmissions has any kind of size limitations anymore, as far how many MB/GB you can download.
