How to Download Files from Live Server Without Running the Patcher

We have discussed allowing this information to be shared on the forums here, but I don't think we have ever came to any solid decision.

I will leave this here (for now) open for debate on whether it is OK to have that info posted here.

Obviously, the main concern would be legal concerns and potential attention from SOE. I personally can't think of any legal issues with it. Though, we try to steer very clear of anything even border-line illegal here to prevent the possibility of EQEmu ever being shut down with a C&D or something.

I totally understand and thus the disclaimer I put up. Which ever you decide is perfectly fine with me. I just stumbled upon that while DLing/updating the steam:underfoot pack last night and watching packet traces from norton security suite.

C&D Can't shut us down. Would have to be a court order.

Since the content itself is on sony's servers, it's legal. No issues.

LOL, so you are saying you would fight SOE in court if they tried to C&D us? I just don't think I would have the balls to take my risks in a multi-million dollar lawsuit if it was me... Not speaking in regards to this particular thread as I agree it should be perfectly legal. Just speaking in general, that seems like a bold statement lol.
