Because games URL is not constant, i need to update my download list daily.
I have slow modem link (28800) and can't download quickly big files. :help:

You have 24 hours to download a single file.

you have 12 hours actually to start the download or resume it.

after this the download link is invalid. This is a protection. (the download will continue if you started/resumed it before those 12 hours)

If the link would work for too long people would use that link instead of visiting our homepage.

Im a bit of a nooblet. Are you saying the URLs on every game change every 12hrs?

Im guessing this is a tactic to stop people linking, no?

Very clever k:

Well I don't care what it is, but although I'm sure Data and Kosta can keep a secret, I'd like to tell something to everybody:
The less you know the better. Our site security works very well at the moment and the more information about it people get, the bigger are the chances of it being in danger.
I've seen sites hacked, leeched, stolen, forums overtaken... and I really wouldn't like that to happen to Abandonia, so lets just say curiosity in this case isn't the best thing.

Keep up the good work in keeping this place safe guys!
