Doesn't Fileplanet do this in effect anyway? Where you have the option
on the site to 'mail a cd' to yourself with the files you want. Not to
mention the plethora of Gaming magazines that regularly have mods on
their cover CDs.

I think the authors original point was to distribute the mod and cover
the
costs of distrobution, not to make a profit. Some people game via slower
net connections and it is not very easy to obtain a 200 plus meg file
via
the internet.

What I'd rather see is some officially sponsored (valve) method of
distrobuting mods on cd where one might get a smathering of mods on one
CD. Come to think of it, isn't this already being done via such places
as
fileshack where you can "make your own cd" by picking the files you want
and for a small fee recieve them on CD. I believe HL mods and patches
are
a part of this program already...
