clearly download.com (cnet) needs money.... they started charging software peeps to list with them, then forcing users to register... now this...
what's fucked up is for many they are the only game in town. i guess a little competition is now needed...
the problem is that what download.com offers is expensive... bandwidth... so maybe their competitor is gonna have to do a fileplanet type thing to make money; offer a "premium" ftp and a "loser" (long que) ftp for getting software... it would be more unfortunate to put the cost on software developers; as suddenly we'll only be abe to download software by giants; no cool small stuff....
