Its logical to post huge 4Gb files to a site that has a typical file size of 42Mb ? OK 🤣 I can upload it extracted, it would bigger in overall size, or i can pack it per title, downloading would be more annoying.. but i can.

Its logical, because download 250 demos per files is not fun, waste of time, if someone want 1 demo, he dont need the package and they are 4 GB files, not 15 GB. Im not sure about it, but there maybe some todyas FTP client is clever enough to open zip files and enable to download only part of them..

Could you split your new version to multiple packages and upload it in split packages to mega, dropbox and google drive so I can download it all and combine the package locally? I want to keep it on one place.. its not some warez to have multiple download links and location, its easier to manage it …

Maybe, Vogons are about old games, i supposed that some Macs gamers are here too, that arent as myth as unicorns.. We will see. From games perspective i would say, that game availability for PPC mac is quite good.. and in some cases it could be simpler run some game on it than lets say run Win 9x,XP …
