Former Developer
After several weeks of development, our up and coming Downloads mod is now ready to be publicly tested. At first we will be testing on Dragonbyte-Tech.com only with the hope of giving beta copies to a few selected users next week.
The downloads system has quite a few interesting features and we hope it will be a solid replacement for some of the already available systems.
Without further ado here is the current feature list.
