They’ve been clear that there are no plans to ever create a direct download link, or to allow public mirrors. Just get a safe and trusted torrent client software like qBittorrent (recommended by BMS team) – or as airtex2019 recently suggested, an app from the Microsoft App Store - as noted these are “sandboxed to only have permissions to make network requests and store files into your Downloads folder”:
https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/torrex-lite-torrent-downloader/9WZDNCRFJB3DYou may also contact me privately via PM here and I would personally get the files to you if the above options fail to work for you, but I strongly suggest you give them a try - any fear or misgivings can be alleviated easily enough by learning/understanding how and why SOME torrent client softwares are not good (like uTorrent), and why some are good (like qBitTorrent, or MS Apps that have been verified by MS to be safe).

@SemlerPDX what do you mean about uTorrent? It was THE torrent program to use back in the day, then they became bloatware or something so I stopped using them and use qBitTorrent now, but it’s not like uT is bad. Or am I out of the loop?
However, @Volksfuersorge torrents are just a way to do peer-to-peer transfer. By itself, it’s neither good nor bad, it just is. Just like the internet, it can be a way to connect people (good) or it can be a way to harrass and bully people (bad) but the internet itself is not the issue.

@Atlas I think it was uTorrent that began installing a crypto miner in the background, by default … that’s bad. (for FPS

I am not going to use torrent. This is clear. If a normal download link is not offered - Falcon BMS is finished for me. No problem at all.
Greetings.

@Volksfuersorge Do you fly DCS?

@Volksfuersorge Out of curiosity, why are you so ridgidly dead against torrents?

If that’s the case, then yeah, that’s very, very bad!

Care to explain why you are against torrents? Seems like a case of “I don’t understand how it works so I won’t use it”
You are getting the torrent file from the BMS website, from the BMS post.
If you’re getting the torrent file from elsewhere, then that’s a different matter.
All the same, it’s not the torrent or peer-to-peer that’s the issue but rather the user making the error of going to an un-trustworthy site. -
@Icarus We cannot finance a storage with CDN that can sustain the quantity of download we see…
Even the other 3 letter combat sim is using an embedded torrent client for their update client. We just haven’t found a way to create such tool for BMS…

Thanks for your posts.
Torrent=bad feeling for me (sorry).
I am hoping for the future. Perhaps there will be a non-torrent solution or another normal download link or whatever. Something the developers can accept.
Until then - stepping into the forum from time to time, while hoping, must be enough.
Greetings and thanks for your efforts.

Instead of stepping out maybe forever, ask a friend to send you a copy or to make a link just for you?

@MaxWaldorf I understand why you use torrent. I dont understand why some are so afraid of using torrents to download BMS.
-
@Volksfuersorge i mean, I can send you a direct link in PM (so can pretty much anyone), if you trust the file you download that way…
-
@Volksfuersorge said in Direct download link 4.36:

But 99.99999% of BMS users use the torrent and has been the dev’s way of initial distribution since… forever.
If torrents were an issue, then devs won’t use it and/or authorise direct links ASAP.
@SemlerPDX has also offered a non-torrent option if you had PM’d him so I’m not sure what the continued issue is?? -

And they probably haven’t read their windows license agreement / EULA all the way down to the bottom, either

But hey yeah, torrent bad, I get it.
@Volksfuersorge I can also provide a non-torrent link if you need one.
All the best,
Uwe

Well, as I said, no reason for you to give up on BMS, I have the files on the VG website CDN, a direct download, yet you will have to contact me by PM directly. As stated, BMS has asked us all not to post public download mirrors. The files provided will match the checksums provided by BMS, if you want to check them after downloading for safety/security.
Let me know, happy to help if I can.
*edit - for the record, when requested via PM, I create a new link (which auto-expires in a few days) to the direct download of the files on our CDN, and provide it to whoever asked

https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/torrex-lite-torrent-downloader/9WZDNCRFJB3DDo NOT use torrex. It’s bordering malware with how intrusive it is with their advertisement and paywalls. Just get some open source, ad free client like qBitTorrent or Tribler.

I don`t play Falcon BMS anymore - still waiting for a public mirror. No torrent, no PM, no private copy, no “community socialism”, no experts in helping or stuff like that. Click a download button, run a exe - that would be the real thing. But i can wait, see what is new and waive. No problem at all.
Greetings.

I’m sorry, but that’s a very ignorant way of thinking. It’s actually a shame, because you have been brainwashed by the media that the Bittorrent protocol is somehow illegal. You associate downloads made via the Bittorrent protocol as illegal, because people share unauthorized copies of certain files with it.
If you were consequent in your actions, you’d stop viewing any website, because it uses HTTP and people use that to download unauthorized copies of files via that. Why use HTTP then, but not Bittorrent? That makes you a hypocrite.
No one is forcing you to play Falcon BMS, but what you can take from this, is to reconsider how you process information, if you have adopted such strong opinions about other things in life you’re not really familiar with and if it is negatively impacting your life.

A mirror is by definition a copy of the file hosted by a 3rd party website, such as mine for example, and checksums of this file will equal the original exactly. A private mirror is the same thing, although the URL link is not publicly known or advertised.
But it’s important for you that everyone here knows that you’re drawing a line in the sand right now - not just for you but for everyone - regarding torrents which you’ve decided are a bad thing? You can’t possibly tolerate a private mirror or peers helping each other out (or even from “experts”), only a public mirror, eh? And, you’re okay with someone other than BMS providing direct download link(s) to the program files, just NOT if that link is unable to be publicly visible or in some post somewhere next to the torrent links?
Can’t help but feel that this line you are drawing in the sand is wholly unproductive and totally futile. I don’t want to assume, but seems you have some issues and not sure anyone here will be able to help.
