Downloading is such a #$!!$@#$~@

Postby Mugzy » Sat Jan 17, 2004 11:09 pm

Geez... How many links do I have to click to download a freakin mod etc. I am starting to wonder if its time to subscribe to a download service.

I wanted to check out Action Battlefield. So, I go to the main site.. Click on download, select a mirror, get another description page, click on download again, select yet another mirror, click on download, then I have to login or click on download from public server which is full.

Does anyone else miss the days when you could click on a FREAKIN DOWNLOAD LINK AND ACTUALLY DOWNLOAD something????


:wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :help: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

Take these simple to use steps to downloading success:

1.) DONT USE FILEPLANET/FILESHACK
2.)GOTO http://www.filemirrors.com and copy/paste the EXACT name of the download file (including the exe).
3.) If that fails, do the copy/paste method in http://www.google.com/www.yahoo.com.

Try those pal ;) :)

I usually wait until late at night to download from fileplanet... I have no subscription, and late at night there is almost never a wait...

Other than that, I usually rely on links provided by people here for downloads :)

Yeah FilePlanet is definitely an "off peak" choice. If you are downloading during prime hours get a good book and relax for a while.:D

I agree... these rich people are terrible for fair gaming :D. The government should do something like tax them for every hour they are online.

Can the Internet be a Communist Realm? :P
