  1. Because allocating more RAM to MC is most often the solution to a lot of lag problems, even for vanilla MC. Because Tekkit and Hexxit are bigger than vanilla, it's also more important to allocate more RAM. Both start doing funny things when they're low on RAM.

    This tells me one of two things. 1) You only have 2 gigs of system memory total and it won't let you allocate more or 2) you have 32 bit Java installed and it can't let you allocate more. If you have a 64 bit OS, you should use 64 bit java.

    well there's the funny part for some odd reason i can't have 64 bit java on my computer because even though i have 64 bit OS my graphics card is 32 bit and it's the default card i got when i bought the computer

  2. people use dropbox for 2 reasons:

    1) it's free. you don't need mommy's credit card to get a dropbox account.

    2) it's easy (mostly). the people making these packs are not computer gurus, they hardly know what they're doing most of the time when it comes to technical stuff.

    chances are, they don't even realize that dropbox has a limit and even if they do, there's little they can do about it because file hosting without low bandwidth caps generally costs some amount of money (it's actually not much, but if you're <18 with no credit/debit card it may as well be $5 million).

    this isn't a problem with technic. when you open the flood gates like the platform does, you are inevitably going to get a lot of chaff along with the wheat. if you want a reliable and stable modpack experience, use an official technic pack. anything else and you are at the mercy of whoever authored the pack. what I get out of your posts is that you want a very specific pack to work, and you want the technic team to fix it so that it does because clearly, if you want it badly enough they are required to do something about it. I'm sorry, it does not work that way.

    yes i do want packs to work so anyone can use them without having issues with downloading them BUT ftb and technic are the only two modpack launchers that i see and ftb requires you get permission not matter what mods you get for the pack. in my honest truthful opinion somethings needs to be done so that there are not as many complaints as i'm seeing. I'm not saying technic is responsible for maknig the change but at least say something to the author like, "hey i see your modpack has a lot of complaints over this issue could you please do something about it."

    something like that. It's easy, it's simple, and if the person doesn't want to change it and the complaints still go on then that person doesn't really need or deserve to have their modpack out there unless they can make it to where there is no issue with downloading it.

  3. If he's competent enough to figure it out.

    i know how to make a modpack BUT i have been told by many modpackers that you have to get specific permission from the author of the mod to make a pack with it. This is due to the fact of mods not being compatible with other mods and you need to let them know which other mods you have with it. Plus it's also due to usage permissions.

  4. and to be honest from looking at many discussion pages the only packs that don't have as many issue is the ones technic itself is responsible for. i just feel something needs to be done or looked at because i'm seeing way to many complaints.

  5. i'm not. I just don't understand why people use it. And when people are constantly trying to get really cool and popular modpacks constantly complaining they can't because of dropbox, it shows that there needs to be a change but i haven't seen any changes on the modpack authors part so people CAN download it.

  6. it's not just pixelmon it's alot of highly rated packs that have this issue if you look at the discussion on the popular mod packs. A lot of people are complaining (including me) about dropbox not letting them just download the files to start up the modpack.

  7. But what if that's the only pack that's there for it or if that's the only pack of it that works

    take for example pixelmon 1.5.1 epic edition. there are many many packs with it that revolve around it but they're barely rated or don't work right. plus what about these packs that you get it downloaded but it won't download all the files because of dropbox getting in the way
