Ziff Davis Closing FileFront
by Chris Faylor, Mar 25, 2009 1:03pm PDTPopular mirror and download site FileFront today revealed that it will "indefinitely suspend" site operations on March 30, 2009 due to current economic conditions.
The sited urged users to download and archive any files they may want before that date.
While owner Ziff Davis recently sold the bulk of its video game-related sites, which also resulted in the closure of print magazine EGM, buyer UGO was reportedly uninterested in FileFront. The site continued operations as part of Ziff's PCMag Digital Network.
"We would like to give a warm thank you to all of you who have been part of the FileFront communities we have built together," reads FileFront's farewell. "Your support has had a meaningful impact for all of us here at FileFront. Again, we want to give you a sincere 'thank you' for your support over the years and wish you all the very best."

When FileFront abandoned the coalition of independent mirror sites to go corporate, they probably never imagined this day.
I loved FileFront.
You will be sorely missed :(.
I get all of my mods for Stalker through filefront, is this going to be a problem?
NEVERMIND, as I was typing this I checked out the stalker file planet site. It's going bye-bye as well. :(
This is a very sad day for modding communities world over, and it's even more lame that they already closed the forums so people can't talk about where to go next!

This was hands down the best site for downloading game related files around. One click and you were good to go. Unlike Fileplanet (and, unfortunately, Fileshack) you didn't have to click through a gauntlet of subscription prompts to download something.
Then again, that's probably why they're shutting down.... :(
I just wish this wasn't such short notice.
Any good alternative sites without queues?
