AgEnTsMiTh Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) I hate Fileplanet. I'm all for charging for priority downloads or limiting download speeds but they deliberately make their free service barely usable. Is it really right to only put on ONE public server for an exclusive demo? No, of course not. I will never subscribe when their free service is so appalling. When you have a game this anticipated there servers will get hammered for it. Do you think its fair to utilize it for the people like myself who pay to subscribe and give us priority access and make you wait a little longer? I sure do. Do not get me wrong, it sucks having to wait around but, fair is fair. Another side note, do not post links to known warez sites for the download via bittorrent.

M1h4iL Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Apparently you can download the demo from: http://games.softpedia.com/get/Games-Demo/...k-PC-Demo.shtml Seems legit and all. I won't be downloading it from there though, or I will run out of bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted August 20, 2007 Subscriber¹ Share Posted August 20, 2007 It turns out that 2k/FP removed the demo as someone found out how to download the unencrypted file (which is why it is on torrents) so FP shut the servers down hosting the encrypted demo, probably until 7pm when its supposed to be official. So much for a FP account :( []SOURCE] If you can wade through all the crap :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unimatrix Xero Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 thats total utter *ahem* and i just paid for a FP subscription as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR. Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 What makes this even funnier is that I spotted the FP Download Manager d/l it last night then this morning it had stopped at about 50% so I came online to find out why and now I know there is an unencrypted version, if they had just let me download it I would have been none the wiser! I've already got it pre-ordered for the 360 but I was interested to see how it would run on the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think its fair to utilize it for the people like myself who pay to subscribe and give us priority access and make you wait a little longer? I sure do. Do not get me wrong, it sucks having to wait around but, fair is fair. I don't have a problem with having to wait longer or giving priority to subscribers. I don't have a problem with subscriber exclusives. I don't have a problem with having to pay for a quality service. I have a problem with them putting up only ONE server on possibly the most anticipated demo of the year - all the other files get multiple servers situated around the world but as soon as it's something popular they limit it to one hugely overloaded server. There should be a reasonable number of free servers so as to be fair to non-subscribers but obviously they should be bandwidth limited and require you to queue. My objection is that rather than trying to provide an exceptional paid service that stands up on its own they make the free service tedious and unbearable. Why on earth would I want to subcribe when they treat me like crap as a non-paying customer? If they're not going to provide a fair free service then they should just shut it down and become a subscriber only site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well..you'll say another thing when they've decided to do that :) Let's just cherish that they are still providing a free service.. and well it's free, so we can't complaint much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
