Filefront shutting down

Filefront not closeing

1) The March 24th announcement about FileFront shutting down was NOT an early April Fool's joke and Ziff Davis Media had every intention of shutting down FileFront by the end of March.

2) This announcement about the original founders buying back FileFront from Ziff Davis Media is also NOT an April Fool's joke.

3) We're making this announcement on April 1st because the deal was completed today and we want to bring all services back online immediately.

4) We would NEVER shut down FileFront as an April Fool's joke.

5) We are happy to be back!

That really, REALLY stinks. Filefront was by far the best and fastest site for patches and whatnaught. They will be sorely missed.

QFT. My favourite downloads site.

Back before I moved into this house, it was the fastest website for me. 150 kB/ps.

AussieGamer is fastest for me. Up to 1MB/s, but on average 700-800KB/s. Don't have as many files though. Pity though, useful and simple site, user friendly too.

I'm lucky I can get ADSL.

Before I moved, ADSL 2 didnt exist, and we were still at the edge of ADSL.

Always so far from the exchange.
