Direct download link 4.36
-
I don’t get why it’s such a big deal to ban direct links altogether. I can understand not being able to provide a host for those files yourself due to cost. But why prohibit people from offering their own mirrors?
Sure, checksums are not a security measure (despite what some people here seem to think), you’d have to sign the files for that. I’ve had my own troubles with the torrent files provided and had to dick around with them for a whole afternoon before I got BMS myself. Instead of that I could’ve just found SOMEONE’s mirror and downloaded that. But no, hard ban on that. Why?
Since then I uploaded it to my own server, but I can’t share any links without violating the rules. This is just silly. Again, I understand the decision to go torrent. But why ban everything else?

Let me be clear.
We have an agreement with the license holder to distribute the BMS package.
We control it’s distribution as part of that agreement…
It is not communism or anything else…
We just want to avoid issues as we had in the past of people distributing the packages while trying to promote themselves (and even try to sell it).Nothing more to discuss…
