With every download you to sign in to the FTP, and if you provide a direct link it includes that username/password. So what you run into is if Puff downloads the files it starts fine. Then when gadgetfreak starts the same download, it logs him in and kicks Puff off his download. This is not a good service for rom downloads.

What is everyone expierencing?
Hmmm I have other files hosted and have never noticed that. I will have to look into it.
