Is anyone else very annoyed by the semi-new fileplanet ID system? Over the last week i've had to go through my email to fish out the increadibly lame password they gave me when I signed on for 25 out of the 30 files I wanted.

This is patently retarded. Now whenever I want a file I go to a diffrent site and do a search for the same file, just to aviod that stupid fileplanet login.

Ahem...yeah, I'm not thrilled with it either. They are working on refinements, and I hope some of them make things a bit easier/more sensible.

Still, I have unlimited file storage there, and it seems to work most of the time (though you have to remember to go to the mirrored download locations now to avoid being invited to join the paid version of Fileplanet)...so I don't have too much right to complain...though I do want someone to point me in the direction of some good options for mirroring my stuff myself somewhere, for when Fileplanet isn't working up to par... Anyone have any thoughts on good placed that host downloads?

I hate the way they got, the way you got to sit in line basically now, and wait to download stuff. Its just terrible. And sign to DL stuff thats worse.

I think it's just moranic that they make putting our names in as a required field upron registering. Can you spell "selling mailing lists?"
The funny thing was I tried to actually sign up for fileplanet so I could download that free expansion for Icewind Dale and I got one of those "Page can't display" errors after submitting. When I pushed the back button to attempt resubmitting, all my typed fields were gone. Blarg.

Sicne we're hosted by GameSpy, who runs FilePlanet...I doubt we'll ditch them entirely. They will probably continue to be the primary download source.

However, the other admins and I are discussing ways to mirror at least the most commonly used downloads so that there is an alternative to FilePlanet when necessary. No firm decisions or solutions yet, but we're working on it as quickly as we can.
