Ziff Davis is preparing to pull the plug on FileFront, the game-related download service currently housed under the struggling publisher's PC Magazine Digital Network. In a somber message posted on FileFront, the site's management and team announced that "due to the current economic conditions" operations would be suspended indefinitely on March 30, 2009. In other words, you have five days to spare the 48-plus terabytes of files currently hosted on FileFront from an irreversible *click* into the virtual trash bin. We suggest you commence downloading -- now!

OUCH! This sucks! I can't remember if I ever downloaded anything from these guys!

Eh, I never really used the place. Not my cup of tea. Sucks that it's shutting down though.

...sigh..oh well that sucks...

Crap, I only found these guys last month and ever since they've been my #1 reliance of Down of War mods and addons, as well as other related information and unique downloads (like a mod that allows you to play as Tyranids!)

FileFront died ... and then it came back. We're pretty sure that makes it the world's first zombie file delivery site. Just a week ago, FileFront announced it was shutting down "due to the current economic conditions." Thankfully, some last-minute negotiations revived the site.

The original founders of FileFront were able to buy back the site from the struggling Ziff Davis Media, restoring all suspended services. "We thank Ziff Davis Media for their cooperation and willingness to keep the site and community alive," the founders commented.

Unfortunately, the announcement of FileFront's revival was made on April 1st, leading many to believe the site's restoration was simply a hoax. The site's statement reiterates three times that this news is real. We're glad to see FileFront is back -- it's always nice to see good news come out during these dire economic times.
