Research Regarding Upload Services--I have achieved a solution!

[Evans]

You realize you have to wait an HOUR after every 100mb you download from rapidshare? I've been downloading Rising Zan since 8am this morning....

My bad, I meant Ultrashare. I think.

heh, I may start up a seperate thread for a poll or something, I want to be generally fair

That Luckey double posted!

Silence, you!

[Luckey]

It might be a stupid question, but why do people put game info and pictures in the links threads? Wouldn't it be more sensible to just include an info link (and crosslink the info to the download links) and then it wouldn't take 5 minutes for the page to load, just so people can get the link.
Slightly off topic, I know. But not that much, it'd make the link threads more compact.

haha my bad, I just wanted my posts to be big, noticable, and pretty

I see

Well I've started a thread to ask how people want the upload services if they want any change.

Hmm, strange when I tried you link all I got was a html page

Hell I even tried opening your topic and still all I got was an html page.

Nah, it's not just you, most people who upload do that. I might be the only one annoyed (or without a sufficiently fast broadband internet )

Yeah, I just figured that if you're going to be downlading such huge files, items on a page such as pictures wouldnt matter. :\ Guess I was wrong.

I've got a nice connection, but why would I want to see pictures of a game? Are people window shopping or something?

Anyways, I haven't downloaded something since 3 or so weeks ago...

My two cents.

I second that notion. Images of CD covers that fill up the entire screen are hardly necessary.

Well I actually like to see the front cover of the game. But I agree that ingame graphics and backside covers are just to much if you don't have a fast connection.

[layzee]

A decent sized front cover to identify the game would be no problem I guess. IMO, the alternative would be 2 smaller sized images for the front cover and back, but nothing more.

[Hijuda]

I include the covers of the game (front, back, and disc) for people that would burn the game to a disc, and then put it into a case, like I want to do. I find that it makes things easier. But maybe, to solve the problem, we can just use thumbnails?

How about filefront.com?

Just rename a file, and put a password on a archive. You can use download managers, I did try using DAP on a file and that went pretty fast.

Look into filefront for a sec.

[AKUMA™]

How bout we all just use BitTorrent? More people will get the games that way, and no one can kill or steal the links. Just my 2 cents. I think it's more rewarding that way, since it does take a rather long time to up something to YSI or whatnot just to have only 25 people or less get the game. And just use http://imageshack.us for upping images of covers or whatever. I always make my covers 500x500 so they aint too big, plus imageshack gives links to thumbs of the pix too, so the posts won't load so slow for people.
