D2011.03.24.0000.patch; inability to download. Requesting direct download link.

Since you specified 3.24 I wasn't sure what your circumstances might be (or that you knew about the site offering it).

This won't help you:

But I think it's interesting--and a little worrying.

ZAM wanted to host Direct Download patches for their premium members.
Square Enix told them not to.
Even if they were to make it free---so they don't profit in any way---SE cited copyright infringement.


Hopefully they let Tehkrizz be...he's keeping a lot of people in-game ._.

Not me right now:

Also: GAH. I DID TYPO THE TITLE!

Oh no.

I think it was taken from ZAM because it's premium only, which means ZAM stood to profit from it. Which is a no no in SE's book. Profitting from something that is SE's creation is naughty.

But SE should probably friggen make it direct download, and soon.
