Thank you very much Longam

Filefront is very much unusable for us here in East Europe and Asia, for the last 2 weeks at least... And for some reason all SH3 and SH4 mods are hosted on filefront!

Because it's free and unlimited both ways. I couldn't share any of my mods without it.

I’m sure he didn’t mean File Front was bad in anyway because it is a great service. It seems to be a problem in his region that is having issues with FF.

I remember the time when most files were shared via a BB on a dial up connection and that was cutting edge. You didn’t have to mail in your 5.25 disk to get a driver update. Anyone remember that magazine that had all the listings of BB numbers in the back, man it was huge.

And then the www and ftp was developed. Next thing you know we have svga graphics.

Oh, back on subject.

Ah yes. I remember 5.25 disks. True "floppies" that you had to be careful not to bend too much.

True, I'm sure it's a great service but something is up with it nowadays. The help forums are full of people complaining about problems with downloading, from all over the world.. 19 out of 20 times it says "there has been a problem downloading", something to do with the allocation of servers..

Longam, yes I do remember the good old days of BB systems. I even established one in my room here in Turkey, distributing files and message boards, very interesting and fun times.. BBs with multiple dialup lines had multiplayer games you could play against each other too
