Do you have Kazza? If you do then simply put it into your shared folder and then anyone who views it will be able to download it, but make sure that your upload settings are set so that people can download of you.
The only other way i can think of is open up a site on like Angelfire and then upload the file to your folder... -------------------- You were in my arms, clutching me tight We were in the darkness, searching for light Then you left me, all alone To walk this world, all on my own! --Rob--Zealous Apathy |

If you just put the game file in, then any person who downloads said game will just get a file, without the necessary other stuff. ie, the game won't play. Usually, you zip the files into one small file, and put it in the folder. Otherwise, a person would have to download every single part of the program. Also, zipping the program saves yourself hard drive space.

If you're using RM2k, make a game disk and put some required files in there, and I think you should put the download of the RTP there in there, too, for people who don't have it. I also suggest something better than Angelfire or Geocities, because they suck.
