I have to say that I agree. VersionTracker worked really well. Every time
we've worked with download.com we've found it to be hard to use, for the
service to be slow and inefficient. The site is simply not as much fun for
the end user either. I hope they learn something from VersionTracker and
upgrade it, because if not this is not a good thing.

Kind regards,

Kevin
