Hacking 6.xx PRO CFW Release Thread

Perhaps the fact that there were way more downloads of the binary than source requests set off some red flags in the system?

Nah, I guess thats true for a lot of other popular projects, be them completely legal or a grey area. I bet there are more downloads of open source Linux binaries than of its sources.

I think the number of people that compiles things from source on linux is much higher than the people that get PRO from source, especially since it's not like compiling with different instruction sets or whatever even makes sense on the PSP.

Hell, look at Gentoo, it's pretty much "from source or you're a big pussy".

Yes, but I still think that the number of binary installs is higher than the number of source downloads.

Then again, look at other distributions. I don't think the mayority of *buntu users compiles their stuff from source. I'm not even sure if checkouts of the source at Google Code are tracked.

I don't doubt that the number of binary downloads of linux distros is higher than the source downloads, but I'm talking relative, and between the projects. Like, linux might be 1 source to 5 binary, while the PSP might be 1 source to 100 binaries, and that might set off some flags with google code's system thinking the page is just being used for file sharing.

Just thought I mention that PRO-C2 has been released for anyone who still wants to update their PSP
