Sometimes it seems like they just don't care. Ever e-mail them about a broken link or missing file? I've never seen one fixed, even after WEEKS.
File Planet has too many eggs in one basket.

I can never use any of the Austrailian/New Zealand mirrors- it knows from my IP that I'm not from that continent and blocks me. ..
The Polish servers always just return "Page Not Found" errors any time of the day or night...
Half the time the Italian servers don't have the frickin' file...
So that leaves New York and LA. any more, when I see a download for FilePlanet, I just refuse to click it, because I know more likely than not I'll be waiting forever, if I EVER get the file. Try www.3DDownloads.com (or somehting like that)... they are often mirrored on FP, and they are hella faster.
File Planet... you need more bandwidth guys. You;re rapidly becoming a victim of your own success in the gamer community.

If you use IE and you get the "Page Not Found" when going to a ftp site (ie ftp://...., which most of the mirrors use), this error is usually due to the ftp server being full... Netscape will pop up a window saying "max anonymous connections reached".. plus mirrors don't get the file the second they are on our master server.. some mirrors will mirror every hour, some every couple hours, some even just do it once or twice a day..
we are working on an in-house download server, which is currently running on fileplanet... if our download server is full it will pop up a window stating your place in the queue and the estimated time before the download will start...
like i said in an earlier post, bandwidth doesn't grow on trees and this is a free service from GameSpy that we pick up the bill for...

The one problem I have with FP, is that fact it uses .zip extentions on the web page. That totally throws off d/l resumers, which means I can't download big files on this 56K (My ISP has a 2 hour disconnection). I know you can copy and edit the url to get around that, but its still stupid that you should have to do that.
As for banners, I dont click on them, I think its stupid to click on ads for stuff your not interested in.

Download freedom.net's http://www.freedom.net firewall with ad manager. Especially you peeps with 56's still.
I currently have not downloaded 700 megs worth of ads because of it and even on a dsl 385/1.5 you can notice the difference.
Make sure you go to options and turn on ad manager or it won't work.

My golden rule with Fileplanet is that if a file (for example a patch or mod) is available somewhere else, I'll get it from that other source and leave Fileplanet as the very last place. If more people did this, it'd lessen the burden on FP.
The problem is that 99% of people are just too damn lazy to try and find another mirror or site. Case in point: the recently released Deathmatch Classic for HL. I saw the news item on GSD and the link to Fileplanet. Now, I can't stand the fact that you have to have a GamespyID to download from Fileplanet, plus I hate the queue system too. So I looked around for a good mirror and found that both Barrysworld and Gamesdomain had the file, and got it nice and fast. A little effort prevented a lot of stress.
Wait until the next CS patch drops. I predict a Fileplanet crash from the burden of millions of lazy-ass gamers descending on what is the most popular service of it's kind. Some may say that FP is becoming a victim of it's own success, and that's true, but some of the people who use it aren't helping very much either.

I don't think he was slighting users stuck with 56K modems, but the fact that they're still the "standard", especially in the days of GHz procsessors, 80GB harddrives, sub-$400 computers and so forth.
56K modems are well over a decade old, and if home connections had progressed like every other piece of technology, we'd be kidding about $5/month xDSL connections being way too slow.
The thing is that not everyone can afford higher speed connectiosn. Especially in england where BT has yet to get off its ass and get it around the whole country... even in the parts that do have it, it costs too much..
Some people dont have a choice and i dont see why we should be hit for it..

That's his point, goofball.
It shouldn't be costing that much. In fact, if connection speeds followed the rest of technology, every last house out there should be connected by 100Mbs fiber.
It's the damn greedy Telco's, knowing that they can get away with not updating their infrastructure.

No, its not his point.. not once did he say that....
He said "Especially you peeps with 56's still."
The rolleyes indicates that he believes that we should get high speed connections...
Oh, and it does cost that much.. This is BT were talking about

ARG.
If he had meant to be rolling his eyes at "you peeps" it would have been either right before or right after "you peeps".
Instead, it's right before the 56K modem part, because he's rightly rolling his eyes at them.
Add to that the fact that it's only part of the entire sentence in which he's recommending a piece of software which eliminates the downloading of ad banners, thereby speeding up your connection, and you'll see there was no ill will meant towards you.
Anyway, regardless of it being British Telecom, it still shouldn't cost too much, except in the fact that the Telco's would make Machiavelli proud. The technology and equipment to give a ADSL connection to everyone, including you, is incredibly cheap. They just don't want to upgrade, because too many people simply accept 56K as "good enough".
