Alien Arena also has some new 3rd party content portals where you can grab the latest and greatest 3rd party levels as well as some of the "retired" classics!
When are we likely to see this update on Desura? Looks like a lot of nice improvements. :)
It's already available in Debian unstable
I just got Desura, and I was dissapointed that ver7.51 was installed. Is there an update button?
Bit disappointed Desura only has version 7.51 for download. Would have thought Desura would have jumped up to version 7.52 by now. Getdeb.net has version 7.52, and the Fedora repositories have 7.53. Hopefully 7.53 will hit Desura soon.
