Whenever I find a site like that I just find another download location. I refuse to jump through those hoops.

Same here. If I have to click "Download" more than once, I just find somewhere else. Unless it's a really rare file.

I don't see how this is gaming but I agree.

I like the good old Internet. The Internet that gave me a direct link to click on. A link that would automatically start the download. Thems were the days!

The better question is why are you using IE?

You're right.. I was just downloading a game patch and had to click on like 10 links to get to it. Was just in the mindset of games I guess.

downloading patches for games normally results in this.

This is one of the reasons why Steam = win.

This is basically the reason why I love getting stuff from 3DGamers and GamersHell - no stupid queues, no annoying links to more links.

I used to use 3DGamers exclusively, but when was the last time you visited 3DGamers?

Every once in a blue moon (which is rare) I find a file or something that plain refuses to download with FF, my main browser, and I have to resort to using IE to download it. Not sure if its due to something on my end or the site's end. I assume its not my end but hard to say. Anyway I use IE to get it and then thats the end of the problem. Its the only reason I keep IE on my PC.

Yep, I've had this problem. Usually just switching to IE rendering fixes it, though.
