I would recommend http://www.mediafire.com/ and/or mega.co.nz they seem to work fine on the moment, at least for some of the TATW mods. So I would assume they should work for you guys also.

Can you provide a change list for 1.6?

Well, i think the whole "Something new" thread is one big change list and i posted it separately over 9000 times... but i think it wont do any harm if i do it again

Here it is:
List of changes to patch 1.6 (from what is done).
1.New fractions: Tomb Kings, Skavens, Norsca(still under construction).
2.New scripts:
- Storm of Chaos. Now Archaon with his horde moving from chaos wastes, across the entire Kislev (by the way attacking all major Kislev cities), through Ostland and Hohland, to the Middenheim;
- Grimgor's WAAAAGH!!!. Now, if you playing for other fractions and let him capture Middenheim, a huge amount of orc stacks will be spawned and they will tear you apart for sure(game over of some sort, but if you Alexander the Macedonian you can try to deal with them);
- Unification of Chaos when you playing chaos. Now if player cant manage to unite chaos to a certain turn, or after unification aint capture targeted settlements, Chaos Gods abandon him and will choose anothr champion( not player) United chaos will became your enemy after thet;
- Northen Hordes invasion led by Suort Lenk and Elfric Cinwolf;
- New garrison script. Now it would be harder to cheat it. This script also works when AI vs AI;
- Rewards after battles when you play as evil fractions;
- If bright alliance lost battle after battle they will start to loose money as penalty;
- Now if you repatriate settlements back to allies, you will recieve a reward. At the same time if you keep this settlements to yourself you will recieve penalties, riots will enlarged, benefits will be cut, and you will loose ability to hire troops there;
- Scaven lairs will be difficult to hold because of tunnel network from wich scavens will attack randomly and without warning.;
- Hystorical popup events about all major landsights in the Old World.
3.New Units:
Mercenaries - Vespero's Vendetta Duelants, Ramon's Black Avengers, Kislev Rangers;
Empire - Sigmar's Hunters;
Dwarfes - Troll Killers;
Chaos Dwarfs - Infernal Guard and Infernal Guard with fire glefs, Burners, Mage-Priests;
Kislev - Vagons;
Dark Elves - Cauldron of Blood;
Border Princes - Carlson's Cavalery, Carlson's Guard.
Units based on elefants are BACK!!(crashes no more) (Great Deamons, Deamon-Lord, Giants, Dire Wolfs, Chaos Hounds).
4. New concept of hire captains. Now mercenaries will come without any cost(except Ricco), but containment will be expensive. Number of squads is increased all with maximum exp. You cannot hire new sqads but you can retrain them each turn.
5.New portraits for dwarfes and Kislev.
6.Population growth is removed. Now big cities and capitals became much more valuable..
7.. For most of bright allianse fractions removed ability to build their buildings in most of native evil settlements(example: scaven lairs, orc camps, chaos citadels etc.)
8. Night Goblins are playable now. Trolls, Ogres and all "green" mercenaries are added to them.
9.Beastmen will no longer spawn near lairs that do not belong to them.
10. Dwarves have their own priests now.
11. When playing dwarves you will own from start one of norsca karaks.

17. Navigable rivers (Liensk, Reik, Talabeck, Ursk, Steer, Aver).
18. New unic generals (Druchii, Silvans).
19. New recource - village.(gains small amount of gold and used mostly to represen higly densed population area)

22. Renewed old and added new loading quotes.

[Vossie]

Great news indeed! Would love to help out with the testing!

[Tyraels]

think megaco.nz is the best way

[Grimaldus]

Yeah, me too. Dont know how much time there will be on the christmas days though.

[Tyraels]

For the translators..will be hard, i think that old ones which translated everything years ago arent there anymore

[tito]

is there a link to download ?

[Lord Baal]

ME WANT NAOOOOWWW!!!

I would recommend mega and mediafire, also of course a torrent, which I would wholeheartedly host until 1.7 is out!

[The Holy Pilgrim]

I can help a bit on the translation, mainly the menu and moving already translated items from the old version to the new (I can't write or speak Russian to save my life ). Anything else that I try will be very rough.

I will also try to help out with any bugs that might rear their ugly little heads upon the first few weeks of release.

And yes, I would have to agree with Davek. MediaFire and/or Mega are great file-hosting sites, with Mediafire being my preferred method of the two.

[Kahvipannu]

Oh this is great news!

...and I would suggest Mediafire too, no hassle with anything, it's just great.

[Lord Necromancer]

Okay, link is ready. Type here all the people who want to begin TEST, fully understanding that this is not READY product, only beta build. I will add a form of test results here lately(tomorrow actually) and will provide a link via PM.

[The Holy Pilgrim]

I would love to volunteer for testing, though I might be a few days before I can jump into it and get to bug hunting.

[Lord Baal]

MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I want, pretty please! I just got out in vacations until january 5th and have lots free time.

[rantan007]

Hello guys, I'm volunteer to test it too ! I have good free time for two weeks and a half

[Tyraels]

Same for me..and i have 14 days for doing it.

[nielsvanruijven]

Hello guys, I'm volunteer to test it too

[AllianceDeath]

I would love to help with testing the beta, I have been playing this mod quite a bit really got me to love warhammer.

[Tyraels]

Its amazing to see how many people who never participated to the forum or generally TWCENTER ..are suddenly alive for having such an access.

Maybe 3 people... And I'm one of those people. I was more on a french forum, but now there is just no news there, so I came here. I helped a little bit for Divide and Conquer there, and if I can help a bit for Call of Warhammer here, I will be happy. That's not so incredible...
