:mad: FILEPLANET?!? :mad:

Sorry, but I have this religious thing against hosting sites that require you to jump through hoops to register, making links to the free membership so obscure that people end up paying the money for a subscription.

And what do you get for you money's worth?... Spam and ads by the truckload.  :hopping:

That's my two cents and my vote on this idea is...  :no:

I can't download anything from fileplanet. Their fancy download page just crashes out.

Always works for me (at least by the 5th try.. and I have a free account, but yeah, its a PITA to use.  As a mirror?  Of course.  Without another source?  I wouldn't... I'd say kickstart it by uploading to FileFront with a title like 0T1B2P3.4b.exe ;7 , and have Fileplanet for when FileFront realizes they've been taken.  (Though I have no clue what their problem is... TBP doesn't break any of their rules!)

Yes, as a mirror, not the only place that it will be hosted.

I'm going to try to have several mirrors:
FileFront (while it lasts anyway)
Rapidshare (I have an account there)
MediaFire
Fileplanet (if they will accept it)

any other nominations for hosting?

Maybe Hades Combine would be willing to help with hosting?

It's not my browser I'm using. If it was my machine I would have reinstalled it long ago. There's just too much stuff installed on there. I'm surprised it even boots.

If you don't want to use the hosting just say.  :p

Yes we do. Hip's just not in the loop yet. Someone send me that "God rest their souls" sound sample please (missing from Hell & Back) so I can pass him the finished files.  :doubt:
