Ooppsie...I apologize to the author(s) for their respective games...I apparently wasn't paying close enough attention to the notice about it's release :( However, Bukary, I still really liked your mission and will look forward to this one (screenies look terrific I might add) from Timon when it does get translated :) Ta and Good Hunting! :cool:

Here's what is says on FilePlanet"
"Do I HAVE to pay to download?
No. You can still download for free from the "FilePlanet Public Servers" above,"

Sorry to be testy here, but I think it's in the author's best interest to have many places for people to download and play his/her FM and I have never had problem 1 with Jason's site (thanks so much Jason btw...I've never gotten the chance to say thx for all your hard work on the site).Oh! I was misunderstood... I hope that Jason will be so kind and allow "Timoteus" to be downloaded form his site. :) I simply do not have the ability to upload this mission for him. :(
And BTW, I did not have to pay for downloading anything from FilePlanet, so I don't understand what do mean by "$6.95"... Is this the price for downloading without waiting?

Hi, the $6.95 is for the month. When I want to download a mission from File Planet , my download accelerator starts to download the mission then a screen pops up, asking to open or to resume, I tell it to open then brings me to a page where I can download from 2 different locations. I picked one and then it says that I am not registered. So I started to register and Ive noticed its $6.95 for the month. That is the problem Ive encounter. I just dont want to make a federal case out of it. This is the problem Ive encounter, that's it that's all.

Just to clear things up a bit regarding "file planet downloads"...they offer two types. Private which is a paid for service or Public which is free but long wait times. I also use DAP but it will only let you access one server at their site, not the usual four (I have a 56k and that's my quota for dial-up links) otherwise you can still use it and I do for the sake of resumes :) So I cancel out Windows downloader proggie if it comes up first and then switch to DAP. So hopefully that is made a bit clearer as to how it works :) The only registration you are obligated to do is just a general registration to use their site and nothing more is required unless you want to sign up for their special services...i.e. Private download sites or GameSpy Arcade, etc. Ta and Good Hunting!

Lady Jo was kind enough to upload the file to me.
Sorry about my disparaging remarks about fileplanet, but when I was originally populating my archive, I had to sit watching stupid flash ads for hours trying to get the missions that the TTLG folks couldn't send me. I understand the point behind fileplanet and think it serves a useful purpose, but I often think wistfully of the old days before everything was so commercialized.

BTW, I have a dial-up connection and I found a FREE DL utility that lets me pause and resume my downloads. It is called GoZilla and you can get either the free version or pay for more stuff at (

Hope this helps a little for all you slow poke dial-ups like myself........:D

Bukary, sorry for being a lil testy there & thanks for letting us know about the FM. I personally just hate using FilePlanet and have gotten spoiled by Jason's site I guess.
Thanks again -

FilePlanet's PAY-FOR-SERVICE is meant to trip you up and get you to pay for it, but there's always the free option down the page......
And it got me, too, the first couple of times after they changed that. :grr:
