I wanted to ask this long ago, but now I finally remembered to do it.

It's true that the FilePlanet account is free? I heard you have to pay for downloading stuff...

When you pay you have some bonuses like no limits etc, but it is free I think, unless they changed it over these years. I haven´t visited fileplanet too long time.

Yes there are certain things which I was not able to find anywhere else too, what are you searching for? (or pm me it)

What the heck? Maybe they quit making free accounts so more people buy the the special account with all the goodies.

I also have a free account, but I registerd like 5 years ago and I never used much at all.

Managed to register. The site does not really blow as lots of people think, at least until the whole upgraded account thing...

I find that all the hateboy stuff means no-one uses fileplanet, which means you generally get instant downloads ;) (and FP has pretty decent speeds too).

FilePlanet is and always has been fine. It's just cool to hate it. Plenty of other sites make you queue for downloads.

Most of the reasons behind his hate is probably for GameSpy. After Battlefield 2, these latter guys have become more famous with the release of UT3.

Thank you Gamespy Intelligence for the best server browser ever :rolleyes:

correct, but its been fileplanet who started this trend back in early 2k

anyways i agree that their service isn't so bad as of recent, although fileplanet always left a sour taste in my mouth for the fact that back when they newly introduced the public/private download queues there were numerous terrible issues with public downloads, including having to wait 80 hours for a single 300kb file, and being cut off after the first 5kb of downloading :P

they may not have these issues anymore, but i still regard fp as the last resort after p2p and torrents :P

what makes me mad is these places have queue for no reason other than to make you mad so you get an account...has nothing to do with server load or anything, because i have used a paid account, you wait just as long [ok, there is no wait time, but the pages mestiously take forever to load]., and the download speed is exactly the same.

Upgraded account is just only required for getting betas, free games, etc...

It's not worth in my opinion, though.
