   tried both links again, in ie and firefox, and still get the same problem.
   2 hours left and i still cant download the santa game...
   is there another language site like the giveawayoftheday ?
   only chance i see of getting this is if i go to a different web site, because
   there is definitly a problem here somewhere.

   which part is failing for you? The giveaway site, or the download (wikifortio) site.

   http://w3.wikifortio.com:8080/SantaClaus.zip
   http://www.wikifortio.com/619011/SantaClaus.zip

   I've just started (and cancelled) both downloads - they definitely work.

   What are you using, how are you downloading it. Really looks like something is playing up at your end. :(

   seems like the game site still behaves the say way this morning.
   the links just dont get replaced by wikifortio links...
   what i find strange is that http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/
   doesnt suffer from the same problem when i click on the links.
   can i ask you to give me the wikifortio links incase this
   is still not resolved by evening ?
   thank you

   PS: tried ie7 (with latest win xp update) and firefox 2.0.0.11

    Oleg, this is a can't ask, can't tell forum. You can't ask for keys because we can't tell you. It's part of the agreement betwixt GAOTD and the software creators.

    Posting Activation/Registration Keys is against Forum/Site Rules

    But if you were unable to download the game it's not fair.

    That's correct - and there are probably several other users who are in the same situation as yourself.

    It is also not fair that someone would go against the agreement GOTD has with the developer - and distribute the commercial software outside the terms of the agreement between GOTD and the owner of the software.

    There is always possibility games will be re-offered a second, third or fourth time.

    Whether it is "fair" or "not fair" is irrelevant. This is the agreement GOTD has made with the developers. Even though you don't have to pay for the software is it no more "freeware" than "Microsoft Office", or "Call Of Duty 4" - handing out or publishing registration keys outside of what has been agreed with the developers would be putting at risk the participation by developers for future giveaways.
