Who here remembers this site? It was a goldmine for mods.
vaguely. logo looks familiar but i dont think i used the site.>break.comthat was a daily visit for me in the mid 2000s though
yep i used it all the time.
>>12165180>modsI'm fairly sure moddb was also around so I used that for mods.However in the pre-steam era I used FileFront for game updates and and I had every reason to do so - these were the wild years when you could download a balance/bugfix patch for like CoD 1 because MP servers demanded it and it would come with free multiplayer maps and shit.
>please wait 3 hours for your download link>your download link is ready>page closes on its own>reload page>please wait 3 hours for your download link>download stalls 2.5 hours in>pause download>resume download>wont resumeall these sites like rapidshare etc have melded together in my brain. im assuming this was the user experience
>>12165214Yeah it was terrible>watch ad before link>something breaks>need to watch ad again>capped at 1Mb/s unless you buy Gold Premium(tm)>something breaks during download>refuses to resumeHaha I just described the current state of free hosting so nothing changed really.
>>12165214Sounds about right. I think FileFront had less restrictive filesize limits than others, but maybe I'm misremembering it.
>>12165214Came here to say this, download sites were a fucking pain and aside from a load of shit becoming lost, I'm glad that shit got replaced with better sites and catbox.moe
>>12165228>didn't use a download managertech illiterates never change
>>12165214>be the entire collective human internet established from 2005-2015>be 100% dead links now
>>12165214>>12165228This shit is why I got into torrenting in the mid 00s.
I remember it now but it means nothing to me. That type of website was a dime a dozen and I just wanted to get the shit I needed and leave.
Filefront (and the sister site Gamefront.)There was also Fileplanet which always seemed to be faster to me. Filefront still exists today however, but only as Gamefront.
>>12165228>Haha I just described the current state of free hosting so nothing changed really.Where are you still seeing this? Encountering sites like that is extremely rare for me, pretty much everything I want to download is hosted by gofile, pixeldrain, vikingfile etc and it's all fast with no ads or waiting.
The day GameFront shut down was a black day for Star Wars: Empire at War modding. Glad to see that the community has rebounded in the following decades and is still going.
It was pretty fast for it's time
>>12167401Jedi Academy mods were so insane they only rivaled by Doom's.
