Please, no giant repos!

Outofscope 2008-03-18

Although I encourage iAppCat users to share their personal repositories with everyone, I also ask not to abuse the service with gathering to much packages into one repo.

The leading "collector" had 789 packages in his repo. So I made a decision to temporarily limit the size of personal repository by 128 packages. I believe, everyone can be happy with 8 iPhone screens of applications.

If someone needs bigger sources right now, please, inform me, we'll try to discuss it.

UPDATE 2008-03-26: Limit was increased to 256 packages. Soon I'll remove it at all.

UPDATE 2008-05-12: Limit was removed. Create as large sources as you can download.

1012, I tried Your repo in my iPhone and was scarred at first. The XML file showed 46 packages, ad the Installer - only 39. After 5 minutes of investigation, I've found the latter 7 items in Uninstall folder of Installer - they were already installed. Please check Your Installer Uninstall folder.
Is it helpful?

Thank you so much for this wonderful service! And for the limit increase. It's helpful to have the ones I need often on hand.

I entered and checked the boxes for plenty of programs but it now shows only 256 in the list. When you remove the limit will all of those that I clicked be saved? Please?? It took me a long time researching what I needed.

In other words I know I went a little more than 256 that I clicked on. will those that I clicked on that don't show up now still be saved later?
