Something terrible has happened to this site. It used to be fantastic.
I'm not sure why it uses it's own downloader these days, but every time I have used this downloader to download a rom it has come with a trojan that has allowed all kinds of horrible viruses and malware onto my hard drive.
This is not good enough for a rom site that gets such heavy traffic and is (or was) so favored by gamers.
Get your $#*! together coolrom.
