20 damn minutes waiting in line just to be able to download files from one of their "Free" servers is pretty damn pathetic if you ask me. Who in the heck appointed them the "Gaming File Monopolizers" anyway ? There is alway's some prick out there looking to make a profit on other peoples work.. Sorry for the rant but this crap erks me

Meh...whether they had a lineup or not, it would still take about the same time to download the larger files. Remember, more people downloading at the same time = slower downloads.

But that doesn't change the fact that I hate waiting in line for 40 minutes to download a 2 meg file...

They make you wait hoping that you will pay them so that you do not have to wait, but that is capitalism for you, but then, their is far worse systems out there, so I think it not be too bad, some one always will do it cheaper of free to compete, so it is all good in the end

I hate the way fileplant's (mispelling deliberate) pages are coded.
I'm sure they have never ONCE bothered loading any of them in
anything other than IE6 on Win32. Which would not be a big deal
if it were just cosmetic differences, but up until very recently I
couldn't get them to function without starting IE (which I hate to do).
The lines are definite bleh also. I try to find some other source whenever
I can.

I paid for the thing, but it really isn't worth it, I'd rather wait than to pay 50 now....
