SMB has been upgraded, but it should be 100% backwards compatible. MS tightened security for it though, and that seems to be causing people problems with some network shares. Try this: https://www.schkerke.com/wps/2...

The absurdity of ringtones always reminds me of this excellent quote from Cory Doctorow of the EFF's Speech to Microsoft on DRM:

"Mako says that phones like my P900, which can play MP3s as ringtones, are bad for the cellphone economy, because it'll put the extortionate ringtone sellers out of business. What Mako is saying is that just because you bought the CD doesn't mean that you should expect to have the ability to listen to it on your MP3 player, and just because it plays on your MP3 player is no reason to expect it to run as a ringtone. I wonder how they feel about alarm clocks that will play a CD to wake you up in the morning? Is that strangling the nascent "alarm tone" market?"

Most of the free games released on FilePlanet I mirror on my website, http://www.schkerke.com. My bandwidth is good and they usually end up there fairly quickly. Fileplanet has me limited @ 215Kbp/s at the moment so Ground Control is taking some time.

The biggest problem actually comes in with the CD keys. I own Ground Control and I'm fairly damned positive that it used a CD key for installation purposes. Tribes 2 required a key and FilePlanet was the only place authorized to give them out; *that* killed that freebie.

Tribes can be found at http://www.schkerke.com/olate/index.php?category=6 . Tribes II is on the same page. Ground Control will be listed as soon as it is finished downloading; if you're into game soundtracks the Vivendi Universal soundtracks are available at http://www.schkerke.com/olate/index.php?category=1 8; Vivendir's site required Flash to even use the site.

There's also a FreeCache mirror somewhere in the article, if you want to use that instead.
