Just a heads up for those that have purchased through using the EA downloader.

Apparently you can only download your purchased program 10 TIMES, after that you will get a message stating that you are lifetime barred or some crapola.

Takes the vulking piss imo. Backup your cachefolder within your EA downloader folder to CD

holy s**t i thought u could download as many times as u want. uh-oh, that means im 1 or 2 away for like 6 things.

I'm in no way condoning EA for this, but PC's 101 always back-up your "investment" to avoid all sort of bad things happening to you.

Besides protection yourself from this type of corporate abuse it's also smart to backup downloaded (bought) games because,
a) no wasting of bandwith (some people have still limitations)
b) it's faster to install from cd than download and install
c) you don't have to depend on a third party.

yeah, so there's a work around, but still... you are pretty much screwed if you think of that too late....
