If anyone needs the space, I have a webhosting account I'm not using that I can upload any and all games to. PM me and I'll get it going.

Maybe he's charging for a membership to his MSPAINT art gallery. The downloads are free...

(My point is that crying about that stuff is useless. There are plenty of ways around it.)

Completely untrue. Even under several open source licenses, you cannot simply repackage an existing product and attempt to generate any type of revenue from it.

That being said, anyone stupid enough to actually pay for something like this is as lame as they are stupid. Simply think of all of the ways that people share copyrighted material and look there if you were interested. But do not post messages about file distribution of copyrighted material for a finder's fee on a Jelsoft site and expect people that actually care about the well-being of this company to not give a damn.

People can be so lame. Charging money for games they don't even own.

If anyone needs a mirror for the files, I have enough bandwidth.

You didn't read what I said.

LOL remember that when you've got lawyers jumping all over your ass ;) It's much easier to do the right thing, then you've got nothing to worry about if all hell DOES break loose.

Sheesh -

I have the infamous 7 zipped files... each one ranging from 1.2m to just over 9mb each. I also downloaded most of the "extra" games from the previously posted FTP, plus gathered a few from other places....but unfortunately they are moved into a different directory of games I've already installed.. So what I just did was to create another series of zips file called "favorites" which currently has 150 of the best games I have found, though there will be some duplications from the previous 7 zipped collections, but there's some good extra ones in there.

I also have All of the YetiSports + the YetiOlympics + Yeti StageDIve (all very popular on my site) and just created a yeti zip file for these.

If anyone is willing to offer a space for people to download I have no problem in sharing as I received them for free as well. Most of these games worked, but some did not, and some won't record the scores ( I'd appreciate any info on how to fix this!).

Anyway, I am not really looking forward to email around 100Mb of files around (my email service limits me anyway) but if anyone has some extra space/bandwidth and would be willing to be kind enough to allow people to download these for free, please contact me. Maybe you can set me up with temporary access to your FTP area and I could just upload them all there. As someone was kind enough to share them to me, we should return the favor and share them to the next person who maybe will share them as well...

One other option is to have someone here set up a free email account with lost of space (like gmail). We could post the username and password on here and do the "honor system" thing. Folks could log in and download the attachemnts. I don't know how long (if at all) something like this would work, but it would sure save the bandwidth issue!
