Back in the earlier days, our site used a Java applet based file downloader. Since almost all of the visitors back then were using Windows, it later transitioned to a windows only application. However, it is evident that both Mac and Linux users have grown considerably since then. As a result, the site is once again using a file downloader based on Java. The beauty of Java is that it is operating system independent, and as long you have Sun's Java Machine, the program should work.
The downloader is still very much in its early stages, and I plan to again add some sort of queuing system. If anything, I would like to add it to the album downloads so that it's simply a single click to get every single track.
If anyone is experiencing any difficulties or have any suggestions, please leave a comment in this thread.

Sony London: The Getaway 3 & Eight Days for PS3 Not Cancelle
Last year Sony Computer Entertainment announced that it cancelled production on two PlayStation 3 titles in development at the Sony London Studio, namely The Getaway 3 and Eight Days.
Just over a month ago some related video and media from the titles surfaced, and today GameSpot is reporting that The Getaway 3 and Eight Days are not abandoned after all!
To quote from an interview with Sony Studio London's Nicolas Doucet:
“I would not say they have been abandoned, just put to one side. Much work had been done. The studio just wanted to focus on its strengths, EyeToy and SingStar. Given the potential of EyePet, priorities have been changed, but the other projects aren’t dead yet. Ultimately, the decision [to put those games to one side] has benefited everyone.”
He then goes on to describe that Studio London have one other game in development but gives no details. He describes it as a “different concept”.

EA Files Trademarks for The Ripper, First Details Available
According to the an article on the LATimes, Electronic Arts has filed two trademark registrations for an upcoming video game dubbed The Ripper.
The title is likely to be a Visceral Games' Project, and will be based on the 19th century British serial killer Jack the Ripper.
To quote from Destructoid on some of the game's preliminary details:
"When you think of Jack the Ripper, you think of a psychopathic serial killer right? Well, what if everything we knew about Jack was wrong? What if Jack the Ripper was actually a good person, killing to save other people’s lives?
That’s the Jack our sources tell us you're going to experience in The Ripper. He’s a supernatural slayer protecting people from demons, vampires and other evil monsters. And seeing as how this is Visceral Studios, don’t expect your typical, played-out demons.
Instead, imagine a cross between the monsters from Dead Space and Dante’s Inferno. Jack will have an assortment of over-the-top weapons to take on these demons, and we're told gameplay involves a special ability that lets him slow down time,...

New NBA 2K10 Demo and Features Detailed for PlayStation 3
Today 2K Sports Community Manager Ronnie Singh has announced news of a new NBA 2K10 PS3 demo and detailed the features.
To quote: The demo for PlayStation 3 will be out October 15th. It will feature a one quarter match-up between last year’s NBA Finals opponents: pitting the Orlando Magic at the Los Angeles Lakers.
You will get four of the most intense game play minutes to become familiar with the game and get a taste of why NBA 2K10 will be unrivaled in the basketball arena. It still amazes me how all ten of the players on the court match their real life counterparts, both physically and in their tendencies.
I probably shouldn’t be surprised after watching all the development team’s motion capture efforts from the past few months. It is no surprise that the game’s artificial intelligence is more intelligent than ever and will give you the freedom to have complete control of the actual outcome and actions of your player and match-up. This season you won’t just play the NBA, you’ll TAKE OVER.
I also want to take the opportunity to expl...

Free Undead Knights PSP Demo Contained Full Game
According to both ratboy3124 on our boards HERE and GameSpot (linked above) it appears Sony mistakenly released the full version of Undead Knights for PSP instead of the demo for free!
Although GameSpot claims it's been pulled from the PS Store, it appears the download link is still working at the time of this writing... so leech away while you can guys! :)
To quote: "Earlier today, Sony launched the UMD-less PSP Go and added over 100 downloadable titles to the PlayStation Store. One more title could have been on that list, as a "demo" of Tecmo's Undead Knights included in the early morning update apparently included the full version of the game instead.
The 486MB download has since been pulled from the online storefront, but not before GameSpot was able to get it. The downloaded game gives no indication that it is limited in any way, with full access to all menu options, a working save function, customizable characters, and multiple playable chapters."
