Fucking a... my friend just told me. I can't believe filefront is going down... and all they have to say for themselves is "we are forced to indefinitely suspend FileFront site operations on March 30,2009."
Makes me wonder what happened.

I've never seen any ads.:weird:
Anyway, I happened to find the (
http://www.moddb.com/news/filefront-closes-its-doors) moddb news about it, and it actually has an extra piece of information that somehow was deleted from the "farewell.filefront.com" page:o That was what I expected, economic problem....:(

This is an organised effort to backup all the files that have subdomains, but when I asked, those did not include the Thief 1, 2, or 3 files, because they said there was no way to automate downloads without subdomains. Best get those manually.
This is the effort, anyway

THANK YOU FOR THAT LINK! I feel so much better about Stalkerfiles- seeing that the archival is already complete really cheers me.

Sad news indeed :(. Filefront was one of the few sites where you didn't have to wait in long queues just to start downloading the file not to mention how fast and stable it was. But it's good to see that the community reacted fast and saved the precious files.

Filefront was THE place to get mods for me, their archive was massive. It'll be missed.
I never would get official stuff like demos and patches from there though, the transfer speeds were too slow and they had shitty support for download manager programs (I use Getright v5.2d + the Flashgot extension for Firefox). Australia's (
http://games.on.net) by Internode is my go-to place for place those sort of files. The download speeds are blistering fast.

They said it was gonna be shutdown, but here it is the 31st where I am and it's still around.:weird:

There's still enough time until midnight... wait, this better not be the most cruel April Fools joke the internet has ever seen. :mad: Or should it be?
