Complain to the game publishers who are too cheap to subsidize the bandwidth costs. TANSTAAFL somebody's got to pay.

just went to this site and they want full name, valid email, and passwords. No registration? I don't think so.

File planet doesnt work in Opera.

Part of the problem is fockers using download accelerators. Stop using download accelerators.

I found a site that didn't try to feed it to me dry. I just tried to get painkiller and far cry, and neither of them in the 4 mintues I spent trying of each could get me a demo without signing in. I guess they don't want me to demo the game.

I guess I'll have to use BT for both of these POS games ;0
It's kinda hard for an "ati guy" . . .

. . . but . . .


nvidia.com has NO sign up and some pretty fast servers (for the latest and greatest game demos). :)

What Bittorrent clients does everyone use? Shadow kinda sucks..... It keeps sucking up my CPU even with the newest version.

You want to set up an AT tracker, go right ahead. Information available online at places such as Filesoup.com and other such places. I'm game. :)

We use to have something like that. Mods eventually caught on that it was 90% warez and shut it down.
anyone remember that?

Ditto for Azurius. Only a 1000MHz system though... But, plenty of RAM (768MB)
