saud_o1 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 hey ppl.. i m thinking of subscribing to either one of the sites, but which 1 is better? which site offers the most speed,files and service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted February 5, 2004 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 5, 2004 As I preference I would say FileShack as I despise BilePlanet with a passion, buts thats my personal opinion. Personally I say don't give any of them your money, use GamersHell for all your demo/patch needs, its free and has some very nice servers if your on broadband. As such I voted for none of the 2 options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyan Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I dunno, I really like fileplanet. They're adding in a very nice downloading system that lets you use a web-based interface to pause / resume downloads and has a nifty interface. I'm getting about...410 kilobytes per second with the new download thing over a cable connection. They have a pretty good selection of files too, but thats just my opinion, I'm sure both sites are pretty good, FP is just personal preference. (Oh yeah, hey all, new to the boards).

~Bull}{Dog~ Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I would go for Fileplanet. Downloads have always been full speed for me and the selection of files is second to none. Also the exclusives are a nice bonus. After paying for it you lose the things that people hate. The waiting in line and ads are all gone. Never had the same amount of luck/performance from other gaming sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgEnTsMiTh Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Hard one to say, I like them both. I find myself using Fileshack more then anything though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaSwissDude Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I say don't give any of them your money, use GamersHell for all your demo/patch needs, its free and has some very nice servers if your on broadband I agree, ive cant be bothered to waste my money on more download speed (which i probably wouldnt need). So far ive alwas got enough speed for my taste :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterClark Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I use FilePlanet all the time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalN. Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 between the two, i use fileplanet more because its faster and doesnt have a cap of 100KBPS when downloading. FP all the way when you are in the founders club too :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazgul Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Well, if you wanna spend money, go with Fileplanet, imo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutop Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 i think fileshack is the better service, but fileplanet usually gets new stuff faster then other places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quboid Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I've been a subscriber to Fileplanet for about a year and I've no intentions of changing. They can occasionally be slow to get a new file but you could probably say the same thing about any site, they're probably all slow for the odd file. I don't have a problem with the charge for any site - it costs them to offer me this service, I'm willing to contribute my share + their profit for the convenience.

Ants in Pants Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I do not, and will never pay for Downloads, its ridiculous, especially since it is easy enough to find places to dl the files for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt74441 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I have a username to both, and I just use whatever one lets me download first. Stupid line-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted February 6, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 6, 2004 Well, if you wanna spend money, go with Fileplanet, imo... same here. im lazy and dont like waiting in lines and it is worth the money to me if you are lazy and impatient just as i am. i mainly use it for patches, mods, movie clips, demos, some eclusives, and the occasional free games like America's Army. and he transfer rates on the non public server are at time so great. i have one private i always use, but since i am selfish i wont tell :D , but my average on that server is always right about 500 and i have gotten as high as 728 before. really nice if your looking for fast, reliable donwloads. BTW thanks for remidning me as i have to re subscibe soon i am pretty sure. there are of course other outlets, so it is all really up to you.
