Why do you have to be logged in to click on a download link that isn't even hosted at the daily click. It makes no sense. It's a pain in the ass to always have to log in in order to click a download link. Yeah, I know you can copy and paste the link but that also is a pain in the ass compared to just simply being allowed to go to the link.
I've always been bothered by it untill now. I've never really bothered to say anything about it because I didn't really have much interest in downloading anything before. Regardless, This should of been fixed years ago.

er I meant I haven't been bothered by it untill now. I've joked about it a few times on IRC but never really did much about it or told anyone. Now that theres some stuff I want to DL it's a pain in the ass. Maybe it's something left over from the days DC used to host files. Whatever it is, please get rid of it. It's annoying.
whats the big deal? once you log in you're logged in forever, or until you log in on another comp or delete your cookies. you should have your login and pass stored in firefox anyway.

that, or you click a link to a page from something like a chat or IM. then you might get kicked out. Still, I agree, its not like your always signing in every time you visit the site. So its not a big deal.
Maybe you are logged in forever but I'm not. I never store my passwords and I always delete my cookies for privacy reasons. I'm sure a lot of other people do this as well. But all of that is besides the point. The point is clicking on an link that isn't even on the site and is otherwise accessible should not bring up a members only error. Copying and pasting the link gets past it but it's still more effort than it's worth. It's basically an error message that makes no sense and is probably left over from when DC used to host files on it's own server. How is going to someone's site that has nothing to do with DC's server "members only", doesn't that seem like nonsense to anyone? Well, I think it's useless and annoying. You should be able to simply click the link and download it.
I wish there was a quote option, cause it makes me sick to rewrite someone elses words above my post in italics just to be seen as a quote to what i'm replying.
what we want when we submit our games here, is publicity. So it's a pity non-members can't download our games and play them, at least not the ones that are too stupid to copy/paste the link.
