Hello.

Which site would you say is best for the latest demos, as in, good download speeds and has the newest demos on their site soon after they've been released?
I'm the sort of person that'll just browse a selection of demos and download it if it takes my fancy, rather than looking for something specifically.

Gamedomain used to be good for this, but now it's just rubbish.

Aside from Fileplanet [URL]http://www.fileplanet.com/[/URL] (not my most favoured, long waiting times, though they do get allot of exclusive demo's) I use both Fileshack (similar to fileplanet, just not as long a waiting time)[URL]http://www.fileshack.com/[/URL] and Gamershell [URL]http://www.gamershell.com/[/URL]

You need to register with Fileplanet and Fileshack, but not with Gamershell.

No preoblem

Personally I proffer Fileshack. Gamershell can be a little unreliable at times, while waiting for demo’s on Fileplanet can almost take as long as downloading them. Fileshack falls neatly in-between, more reliable, and the waiting times are considerable reduced.

I don't really download demos since I always have to wait to download or register to download. Just ain't bothered.
