I am looking for some differnet sites for freeware Train Simulator downloads, as i am getting pretty p*ssed off at being told for about 20 times that "All Nodes Are Currently Busy" at 5:30 AM at train-sim.com.

The 'all nodes busy' is just a script that is run that displays this to 4/5 (or whatever the admin sets it at) users - unless you pay to join  - in which case your username bypasses the script. It's a well known scam among web administrators & perl (& other script) writers. All it is is a way to encourage people to 'join' as a paid member & one day will probably be illegal - because it's dishonest.

Have you tried searching google with 'train simulator' or 'train simulator add-ons' ?

Pete swoops down and shares information that I've always wondered about, as always.  lol

I knew that you had to pay to bypass the "No Nodes" issue on some sites, but I never knew the lack of ethics involved.  Good to know.

Thanks as always to Pete!
 

Great edit, Bob.&&&&&&Google it. &&&&www.google.com
