not gpl, but fun as hell with awesome cars and stuff to do
Is it mostly muscle cars, or are there sports cars too? Just street
racing, no closed course racing?

I finally noticed the direct download link to ea.com, and used it instead.
First, you have to create an 'account' on Gamespy just to get the link to
work. THEN, FilePlanet wants you to set up ANOTHER account to get it from
their 'personal servers'.
What a bunch of shit. All this data collection crap is really starting to
annoy me.
Of course, the information I always provide is, well, interesting...

<g>). Look at the download page a little more carefully as they're not easy
to spot (they're in between the mirror sites). I've never had to provide
personal information in order to download at FilePlanet. I like their
download queue system, actually. Fire and forget downloading... works for
me.

Yeah, looks like they use the "RealAudio" method of hiding the free stuff
amongst the paid stuff.
RealAudio has that down to a science :)

Here's a direct link to get the latest version (I think) of Game Spy and
avoid all that FilePlanet Crap.
http://gamespy3d.fileplanet.com/GameSpyInstaller255REG.exe
For Registered users only, I think that if you don't have a reg key it will
be a lite version.
I haven't upgraded my GameSpy yet, have been trying out "All Seeing Eye".
Don't know if I'll cough up the $19.95 for it.
