I'd love to say that hotline, introduced to me by an ex-friend, is the best way to handle a beta test. It combines chat with file transfer, and its free.
At least the client is. If you don't mind a few messages, the server is too. But I have a reged server ! Anyway, as soon as I get ADSL I will ready my server and inform my testers. I might even work out letting you guys use my server.

Sounds like a good idea to me! (Hotline does have a bad rep for Warez and stuff, but it's like Mp3s; It's not bad, but what most people use it for is. Everyone go to hotline.ambrosiasw.com, and see a brand new way to download Ambrosia's great products.)

I imagine we would all be honored for you to grace us with the presence of your Hotline server.

As soon as this *嵘 weather ends, I'm going to look into getting an ADSL line.
Once I have that, I will set up the server for Ares Plug discusion and downloading. It will be the perfect way to exchange confidential beta plugs, as you can set it so that you need a password to download.

Basicly the sever will be opened at a certain pre-arainged time for dl and discussion. For the use of my server I have to be a beta tester, because I need a copy of the file uploaded to my machine. ADSL coming 2/22.

Sounds fear to me!
Also, when you get it isn't much of a problem. I doubt any of us will have released plugs by the 22nd. Hera might not even be released by then!
