That's a bit of inflammatory subject for me given

a) Kaelten was paying for much of the traffic for files.wowace.com out of his own pocket
b) The costs for the bandwidth per month was easily in the thousands of dollars
c) The design of the packager meant it used a lot of unnecessary bandwidth
d) Good bandwidth does not come cheaply
e) The Curse Client is technically still in Beta. Expecting BETA software to be perfect is a little silly

So when I read that paragraph you just wrote there all i could think of was some entitled user crying that their wow matrix - like one button update was no longer working so they're going to hate Curse.

IMHO It's a little like saying you hate your favourite ice cream parlour for closing it's doors due to harsh economic conditions.

Please tell me I'm wrong
