Hey Guys,

I would really love to setup a V5 test for my site to ensure that I'll be ready to move ahead when it's available. I currently run a self-hosted v4 community that has a large downloads/files section. Currently it's 8TB in size and I use commerce/subscriptions. I'd love to start testing to see if/what custom development I will need eventually. I just don't see moving 8TB in files to another location to be feasible for testing. What other suggestions are there for setting up a test site with large download/files?

The best way to go about this imo is to first move the current forum as it is in the test site and proceed with upgrading that if you want to see how things will go when you will b upgrading your main forum. Are you using the Ipb's Downloads app for the files or a third party app. Whatever app you are using, it will have to be compatible with Ipb 5, otherwise it won't work.

Yes, we are using the IPB Downloads app for the files section.

When I've done this before myself, I've made a copy, updated links etc, but only copied the latest monthly folder, accepting that will result in some links being broken on the test instance.
