    Just wonder if anyone else finds it about as annoying as the floods of free stuff that congested sister site... suppose I should've done a vote..

    When I look at the votes for the Symlink/No Install/ButtFuc4 releases, I swear they average 4 votes... tops.


    thoughts?..

    (this should be fun)

    Why would it annoy you? I rarely vote up or down, but I normally thank, and who really counts? I have seen other crap things made available, but I just roll on around them. Offerings never annoy me.

    Have found them useful and easy so far. Like that I can selectively choose from package. Some include original installers and keygens as well
    for the picky amongst us.

    Those no install releases are useful indeed. Quick to install for us with old computers.

    And try to found Kontakt 5.7.1 "yes install" :wink:

    It's the different way to pack and install stuff. Totally fine.

    IMHO you can't compare this with the so called free stuff that we were flooded with a year ago.
    Why would you be annoyed by the way?

    ? The Kontakt Symlink version has been best since R2R made the keygen version and became useless.

    Never had any problem with the keygen.
    Got all my libraries working.
    And thanks to these Symlink, I have Ozone 8 working without the bugs from previous release.

    Thoughts? Really? OK seeing as you asked.

    This site is about the only place left on the planet where you can get something decent for nothing, and not just you, but when I see someone complain about the occasional thing that maybe doesn't work correctly, or in this case a particular type of installation? Yeah. THAT is what i find annoying!

    When you are locked tothe they keygen, it is not good. If you have a library not supported by the keygen, you are out of luck. That is why it is quite useless. If they keygen supports, then fine, but it doesn't support everything.

    Actually SymLink is much better than ordinary installation - less intall time, less efforts, less memory footprint, less OS dependent cuz doesn't write into registry. Also I guess this plugins will work after OS reintalling.
    So this is some kind of portable version I think?

    Until now I like the portable most , but the days where R2R just came with perfect updates were even better. It started to become more difficult with that keygen.
