Gaming files FTP?

[Chameleon]

Hi
Since the BW ftp became unavailable, I just can't find decent ftp sites which can be used with an ftp client to get game patches, etc. I can find stuff at jolt often, but only through their web site, which is a pain.
So ...... if anyone has recommendations, please post them below.

Hijack a newsgroup and distribute patches through there Ive always wanted to do that.

Or, we could just give someone the responsability for maintaining bit-torrents of all the latest patches. ?

It surprised me last night, but the game.net FTP is still available (or is available again now).

If you're in the UK (and on a provider that peers directly with GAME): GAME.net FTP (UK users)
Otherwise: GAME.net FTP (anyone)

This is (sort of) correct as we use it for some files and demos on the Shop site. However, its capped (as the old non-members ftp was), and its NOT being kept scrupulously up-to-date at the moment. I'd like to bring an FTP service back at some point, even if its a UK-only service, but we've got to work out the economics and whether we've got the resources to manage it properly.
