why wont you people just follow the directions.. common wtf.. everyone should have Winzip by now...
its the standard compression for just about everyhting except warez...
which tends to use rar and ACEs..
sigh I love how everyone automatically blames FP for everything..
I have been an FP customer for 2 years.. and its a great service if you like to dload mods patches and betas...always fast and no waiting..
just buy or download the trail for winzip it never ever time bombs.. it just comes up with a register me popup that you can go around every time...
the thing is fileplanet knew a ton of people would subscribe to fileplanet for the sole purpose of downloading the STF
they have a huge banner that says NO WAIT downloads and what did they do make people wait
for 12-24 hours or even more for a service they paid
when th ST only lasts 5-7 days waiting a whole day is a whole lot
They cannot claim "ignorance" because they know how many people participated in the last stress test
they are the ones that advertise a NO WAITING EVER to their subscribers
while even after I became a subscriber I had to wait 8 hours just for them let me download WoW
the last game I played for any significant amount of time was Warcraft : TFT
so no I don't download alot of patches or betas and I paid money just to play WoW early
not to mention the hide their 7.95 a month plan for the World of Warcraft ST so you have to search for it because they knew people would sign up Just for the Stress test instead of only appearing to have an option to sign up for $15
I will never use Fileplanet again so yes I feel very ripped off
As for the Zip problem that is all I read in the Beta forums so I have no idea if that was true or not
as for your comment on ZIP , RAR is a superior compression scheme , not to mention the program is a lot better that is why I use it
and WINRAR does unzip so the fact that you had to use Winzip tells me at least Blizzard if not Fileplanet made a deal with Winzip
because WinRar will extract any other Zip file
