RoadRunner USB Joystick V3.0 Released

I took down the file. A total of 8 people downloaded it within the almost 2 hours it was up. I can understand linking to a download page with a hit counter to track popluarity, but not having to register etc.. IMO, the less hassle the end user has to put up with, the more popular your product will be. Having to register, input your e-mail, check it, then go back and download the file is too much work. That is just my opinion though.

I agree it can be a hassle, but the way I see it, and I don't think I'm the only one, is that some people will just go around willy nilly downloading files off websites as they go along, just in case they might use it.

Well i want people who are really interested in using it downloading it. If someone is serious about using it, then they won't mind registering to download. Plus if they are registered on the forum they can easily be made aware of new updates etc. IMO.

If I wanted to attach the file on here I would of done.. It most likely took me over 48 hours to write this including all the testing and messing about I did. If someone cant even be arsed to spend a minute reg'in on my site to download the free program, then I cant be arsed with em..

thanks Enforcer :-) for the respect..

I get the impression that you thought I was commenting on CDR requiring forum reg to download his app. I wasn't though, I'm fine with it, and I'm actually registered over there, soo...

I took it down because apparently CDR wanted you to register on his forum before you could download it (Even though most people will use dodgeit/bugmenot). Not due to bandwidth useage.

I was questioning what your number was relating to, as your post gave no indication.

It's like walking into a meeting room and randomly saying a number out loud, no one will have any idea what you are talking about or to.
