I HATE that!

"click here to go to download". I click it....

opens a site where someone is bragging about Unreal2XMP. at the bottom of their page, LINKS TO OTHER SITES TO DOWNLOAD!!!

WHY DID YOU DIRECT ME TO THE FIRST SITE????

I click on the other links to download.... "you must pay or be a member to download". WTF??? I already bought the main game! I shouldn't have to pay more just to download an add-on pack!

meh... Sorry Unreal2 XMP, You're just NOT worth it.

......ever heard of hardlinking?... most of all sites don't allow this.... if they find out someone is... they basically track em down and kill em..... i know i would. Link to the SOURCE..... and to THERE download page.... Driverheaven CAN ONLY hard link if they have PURE approval..... or they are providing the download themselves.....I know of no other site that provides news with hard links in them.....

Where possible, it's always a convenience and a courtesy to link to the page that describes the download.

Many sites either dislike leeching their downloads, or make it difficult to do so.
