There used to be two public servers for non-subscribers, but now there's only one and that one always has a waiting time. When they had two, there was no waiting time - well, almost never!

just having the same problem myself, am waiting to download as I post this message, I guess it is their way of getting more people to sign up as paid clients. Wont work with me tho' I do not have so many things required to be downloaded, just dink stuff, aint gonna pay for that, when dink is free, why should downl

0oading it be paid for?

It's a bug in the design, just refresh the page.

Eh, er, I don't think so.

See, when a bunch of people are downloading from Fileplanet, you have to wait in line to get the file. Yes, the 30-minute waits are painful, but it usually results in a good download speed. (Though that doesn't really compensate for the waiting, now does it? )

If you're rather impatient, then you could try the WCNET, though it usually doesn't work for me.

Just looking my server has been on 36 hours straight, but the users on the dink FTP are maxed out at 10.

Ok, but there used to be TWO servers, now there's only one and that really sucks, 'cause with 2 there never ever was any waiting time, and now there is always a waiting time.

Hmmm.... what do you think?

Yeah, I guess I should check that one out. If Fileplanet doesn't get that second server back...

No one should ever pahy file planet. If you do you are just supporting this kind of thing. Shutting down a public server just to bully more people into subscribing. Makes me mad.

Me too. I was number 459 on FilePlanet, for crying out loud! >

Now I'm downloading from WCNet, and that's a lot quicker without any waiting time!

WCNet is A LOT slower for me because i have cable, but i use it any way because i'm sick of logging in, because my computer won't accept the cookies and I don't like waiting. For big files i'll still prolly use FilePlanet.
