So they ONLY provide a ~275GB torrent zip file??? Lame. Why not allow the DL of only certain games? I don't need 38,000 flash games... nor does my laptop have 500++ GB free to fiddle with this. Poor delivery decision IMO.

Check the Downloads Page and download the Infinity version, which allows you to download games as you play them rather than the whole lot at once.

  Thanks - regardless though - really really poor explanation on whats going on here, on their part. Of course I know how torrents work, but to have a single zip is just stupid practice.

    No worries. Yeah that was the first thing I looked for when I first looked at too. In any case... if you did download it... I'll recommend two of my favorites. If you like tower defense style games, try out Ghost Hacker. If you like strategy a bit better, try out Pixel Legions. Both are really fun.

      hehe tower defense was the reason i wanted this! Can you dropbox just those recommendations to me?

        I can't unfortunately because of sitelocks... part of what Flashpoint does is in Man In The Middles the Flash Player so it thinks it's on a certain website, which allows the games to be played offline. You can play these games on Kongregate and Newgrounds if you have a flash enabled browser though. Sorry about that :/ In terms of tower defense, here's some recommendations: Ghost Hacker (the original one, which is better than the 2nd one) Defender's Quest (trial version, complete game on steam) Kingdom Rush (also available on your phone) Cursed Treasure Demons v Fairyland (feels very much like Kimgdom Rush) Onslaught2 Dungeon Defender

You can just partially download the torrent

  Not if it's an archived file, which it is in this case.

    Yes if it's a PKZIP file, which it is in this case. https://stackoverflow.com/a/15321699/5223757 https://stackoverflow.com/a/15321699/5223757

That's normal. It's not all or nothing with BitTorrent, you can pick and choose which files you want to download.

  It's a single 7z file.

Yes, creating torrents of single archive files is a bad practice.
