FilePlanet is a video game download service that provides free game patches, mod files and media downloads to its users. FilePlanet was launched, and is run by, GameSpy, which is now a subsidiary of IGN, and is one of the most used video game download sites on the internet.^{[citation needed]} Users can either pay a fee to access High-speed servers with no wait times, or wait a certain amount of time in a line before downloading (only for particularly popular files). In addition, users must register to download any file, unlike many other download providers. FilePlanet contains many different types of files such as game demos, trailers, and patches. The site has its own download service as an Internet Explorer plugin which automatically download files requested; if the service is not installed or the user is not using IE, the file is downloaded through normal FTP connection.
