Ok.

FilesNetwork includes Armada2Files and many other sites. I was saying that FilesNetwork has a wait system in place, but I've never had to wait to download anything. Unlike Gamespy/FilePlanet.

Sorry, I didn't mean you shouldn't go there. Just that you should realise he is paying a lot of money to keep that site running. Which is something that Armada Universe and Armada II Files don't have to do because of the free file hosting which of course has the drawbacks of advertising and a waiting time (sometimes).

FilesNetwork is restricted by bandwidth as well. Probably not on Armada II Files but if you try to download mods like Desert Combat on Battlefield 1942 Files or GameSpy you will most certainly have to wait or find that the download limit is maxed out. I don't think the FilesNetwork has a waiting list but you do sometimes find that you can't download a file because the bandwidth is at its maximum.

It depends where you go and what file you want to download from FilePlanet. Armada Universe is a hosted site which doesn't have much traffic compared to Battlefield 1942 so the numbers downloading files are so small you don't have to wait.

I know when I first started using the internet I believed it was actually in cyberspace (lol). When you think about it, it is just a bunch of computers talking to one another. Not so magical after all I think most people don't realise the costs when they visit sites. Take this site for example, I am sure it costs quite a bit to keep it running.
