On downloading: Planeshift is hosted by SourceForge, which has multiple mirrors in major cities around the world.  Bandwidth will not likely be a problem.

To DepthBlade: This is not merely another CB thread.  I was asking for specific information regarding how it will be released.  BTW I\'ve been in PS for a year, so don\'t complain :).

Some thoughts:  A standard release procedure should be decided on so people in the community are not clueless.  Since it is most likely not possible to put out new releases on a regular basis, I am just referring to how the process works.  In the future, as said by the dev team, dates will not be announced, but there will still be the hype.

Just as an aside, does anyone else not see new news updates on the day they are released? Only today have I been able to see the link to \"the interview\" on the  main news page. Is this just me, or does this happen to everyone? I\'ve never seen anywhere else to get news from, other than mailing list ( which I have not signed up to yet ).

The only reason I bring this up is that when it is released it might not show up on the news page? Although I guess there will be such a fuss that these forums will let me know quicker :)

I imagine sourceforge could cope, but a few BT\'s at the same time can\'t hurt.

I like the idea of a short delay between announcing CrystalBlue\'s ready for release and the actual release. Gives the devs time to sort out the databases and servers etc, and also time for people to prepare and spread the word  ;)

Try deleting your temporary (cough) internet files through the internet settings (If you use windows).  Sometimes some browsers just load a previously downloaded page.... and you don\'t see any of the new stuff  :)
