This should result in faster downloads, and also stop the site from collapsing if/when a major news portal links to us, as it did back when MMORPG Tycoon 1 was initially released.</p> <p>Or at least, that&#39;s the theory. This is kind of a trial thing, to see how moving the downloads elsewhere affects load and bandwidth usage on the main webserver. Should be finished migrating download links within a few hours. </p>
