One of the few sites where I could actually d/l files without long queues.

Another dumb download queue site gone! Hooray!

2009-03-25, 3:08 PM #11
Filefront was ****ing ****ty.

It had queues, impossible to navigate pages, it was poorly coded, loaded with ****ing ads and pop ups.

They were a pimple on the ballsack of the internet.
2009-03-25, 3:10 PM #12
Filefront has queues?
nope.
2009-03-25, 3:21 PM #13
I've always thought Filefront was far better than other DL sites because it never had queue.
DO NOT WANT.

You've never tried to download a popular file and had your bandwidth throttled to something pathetic after waiting 45 ****ing minutes for a slot to open up.

It's just a suspension, right? They're not conclusively shutting down, they're just putting themselves on hold until they can get back on their feet (in a year or two or something)?

I actually sorta wish Rapid**** and Megaupload and other similar sites would have to close. The horrible English on their sites make me irrationally irked =_=

I have never had to wait for any file on filefront.

Nope, because theres never been a queue.

Sure you aren't confusing it with Fileplanet?
nope.

yah, but when was the last JO/JA file ever submitted? How about 3 years ago!

Well, good news from Kouen, one of the guys from the jkfiles staff. Check this thread out. Forceboat especially had a dialogue back and forth with him. It's the third post down. But, anyone who has ever had a hosted.filefront.com site, download and save your files. That will be gone for sure.

Hmm. They should take the time to shed off 853,392 different Reborn skins and THEN back the server up.

Despite the large volume of crap produced for JA and the game's (hardly) lasting appeal, there are some gems produced by certain editors.

Still, I always got decent speeds with downloading with Filefront and never waited in a queue, so it will be missed.
