Might be, there are still some evil sites out there, that collect a payment to get the download link - and then just leach, by connecting to other sites... Might be, yes.

If it's a leecher, well, ushakked should tell us where and to whom he sent the money.
Do you think we should contact Kosta?

I wonder if it was this site - http://free-game-downloads.mosw.com/...ization_2.html

He stole my review for Return Of The Phantom, as well as the walkthroughs I made, the manuals and map I uploaded. And he charges for stealing this work. :evil:

I mentioned this before, but it was decided then that nothing would be done.

Who is this 'web page stock'?
I think he meant "stuck". As in, did not react.

Not only do they ask money for something which is free, but they also leech our bandwith without giving us credit and without the abused person ever seeing the review and the site.

That would be dire news indeed.


Hmm... I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone was doing that. :worried:

AFAIK, it's no longer possible. The new system does something that changes access paths to the files every few hours.
