What's the reason for the blacklisting of FilePlanet?

I missed your message earlier (I haven't been as active here lately). I blacklisted the current/new FilePlanet because most of the real downloads there seem to have been replaced with an adware downloader (has offers for Avast, Opera, WinZip, etc. before actually downloading the file)--in some cases it seems to finish the process without actually downloading the real file at all (which maybe doesn't even exist on the server end or something).

The Archive Team made a complete FilePlanet backup back when IGN originally announced the site was being closed, so it should be possible to grab any needed files by matching up the old URL IDs to these known clean sources and then upload those files to the Files section here.

Ok, thanks!
