Hi!
I wounder why the files (in this case the kotor II movies) are on fileplanet? I don't have a membership there and I don't have the money to join. Couldn't you have them placed elsewere?

Fileplanet is free!
The only problem is that you sometimes have to wait a few minutes before the download starts.
By paying, you dont have that problem anymore.

Stilgar is correct. FilePlanet arranges its text in such a way as to give you the impression it's pay-only, but if you read carefully, you can enter the public queue for downloads easily.

If bandwidth wasn't a concern, I'd be hosting the files right here on GameBanshee. I just figure since FilePlanet is free and GameSpy is obviously not going anywhere, it's the safest place to link to.

FilePlanet is very easy to use - follow the link to a file directly. Then click the "Create a FilePlanet account" and then make up an account (remember to write down the details). Once the account is created, you'll be taken directly to the download page, where you can download the file from the public servers. Note that you may have to wait a while, but it is free. And the servers are pretty heavy duty as well.

There are a lot of ads saying "join up now and get this extra stuff!!!!!!!!" but you can easily ignore them.

Cheers,

I really hate using FilePlanet, it's way too complicated. If I wanna download a file I expect to be able to download it simply by clicking on a button saying "Download". I DON'T wanna have to create an account.
