Armaholic
Armaholic has recently changed and I personally think that it did not change for the better. They basically want money now to use the full functionality of the site.

To improve the service we provide to the Arma community we have decided to start the Armaholic Subscription system. The Armaholic Subscription system offers those who choose to subscribe to our website some additional features which are not available to or website guests and normal members.
- Download speeds:
- Guests:
- The slowest downloadspeed
- Members:
- Higher downloadspeeds than guests
- Subscriber:
- The highest downloadspeeds
- News stream:
- Guests and Members:
- A limited newsstream. You will continue to find new and updated releases but many new releases and updates will be hidden.
- Subscriber:
- The full newsstream, including Dteam Workshop releases and updates.
- Find content by date:
- Guests and Members:
- Not able to search through our file lists by date.
- Subscriber:
- Can search through our file lists by date to find all new and updated releases easily.
I can understand that hosting the site and all the content does cost money. I personally have no big issues with limiting the download speed, but blocking basic functions like a proper news stream and sorting search results by date should be free.
