Why am I required to sign up for a GameSpy ID?
The combination of the download system and GameSpy ID help to increase the performance on FilePlanet. The GameSpy ID feature protects against other sites linking directly to FilePlanet’s files and clogging up bandwidth, while shielding users from GameSpy’s vital advertisers. The combination of the download system and the login will guarantee that the bandwidth and FTP connections are being used only by the people on the network. Some people may dislike the system, but it is the best way to assure better performance for hosted sites and visitors.
