block downloads there? Yeah, that, and they delete all files within about a month so there's no point using the site to begin with.

I didn't even had to look at the list and I knew my country was on the list. Then I looked at the list.
In the past I've used Filefront for uploading maps for TWHL, but since they became gamefront I haven't had the need of uploading anymore because most of my maps were small(lazy mapper, I am!). So I haven't visited it for more than half a year, but now I can safely assume I will never use it again.
What's with the sudden change of their policy?
I always thought this country blocking of some sites can be compared to xenophobia in some way.

...what's gamefront?

gamefront (formerly known as filefront) is a pretty useful site filled with hundreds of downloads for half life modding (mods, custom content, lots of stuff). Think of it as part-planetphillip, part-gamebanana, and part moddb.
Not sure why they block some countries but most of the mods they have can be also obtained from planetphillip and moddb so it's not a huge blow to mod lovers.

Blocking any country for no reason is a dick move.

Have you heard of a thing called proxy ?

A proxy should get you around the block anyway. But yeah blocking a country for any reason is a dick move.

I was never a big fan of Filefront, so this is the nail in the coffin. I was unaware.

Like I said, it's a shit website to begin with, I don't know why anyone used it in the first place.

Never had an issue with FileFront personally. Almost every mod on moddb that I download comes from FileFront, but yeah, this kinda sucks.
Doesn't affect me, but it sucks.
