I'm really not into flaming but this is quite outrageous. Some of the guys that posted in this thread might as well wear a t-shirt that reads: "gimme some more abuse. where do i sign?".
"FilePlanet provides an essential service to us". Los Pescados, you don't really believe that, do you....Cause i'm missing where the essential service is when a company is using a monopoly so you don't have an alternative for downloading a file.
"Yes, please boycott a free. That makes perfect sense to me." What a sad attempt of irony. If it doesn't cost you money that doen't mean it's free. Believe me, those ads that you see for 184 minutes bring money to fileplanet. (boy, they even have a "show me another ad" button, in case you really think you should be more helpful to them). Your presence on that site means money for fileplanet. Why do you think you need to register? So they can charge more for the ads they're posting.
"You guys get so pissy about downloading stuff thats free, provided from a free service". Did it ever occur to you, BlAcK_PlAgUe22, that i want to be able to choose if i want to get that free stuff from fileplanet or someplace else? Please, do not use the word "free" when you talk about fileplanet. The people that work to create those files are offering them for free (now that's a service) and file planet would have you wait in line for hours watching ads (of course, you could also PAY to get a free file).
I only got 2 files from fileplanet (about 100MB each) and every time my download stoped at 99%. After the hours of waiting, of course. Talking about what i should call a service. But, hey, it's free so i shouldn't complain.
