The downloads automatically start now if you use their DLM.

installing their software is a worse alternative than having your download cancelled.

Why would you willingly subject your computer to that?

YOU ARE FCKING BROKE

those of you bitching about paying for fileplanet are brokeass, pathetic losers. You guys spend more on hand lotion per month then you would paying 7 dollars to download anything you want. It seems like such a big deal when you are a non-subscriber. But once you actually think about it (or...god forbid, pay for it). You realize that you were making a fuss over nothing.

the days of 1996 are gone, friends. I feel your pain, but it is time to move on. However, bitching about fascist, file downloading corpartions that you "absolutley refuse to pay for" dont make you look cool....they just make you look cheap/broke.

Down with FilePlaynuts and its ilk.

I just got FarCry patch 1.3 and thank goodness they had the good sense to provide a BITTORRENT option.

Good answer:D




Like I said they are the 7/11 of downloads
Maybe, but Majorgekks is the QT of downloads :). Not the best selection, but no crap.

And make you look like an ass. $7 to download anything I want? Does $7 gets rid of the cluttered pages, and actually make FP servers carry things I might want? Oh, or what about site design that isn't convoluted? Maybe one that's directly to the point? 90% of what I want is at other sites, and some of them I'd be willing to pay for, as many are actually useful. FP is a waste.
