bahn | That's kinda what I figured. It's just annoying peoples responses with the renguard thing. And the constant popup "Download me!" .. It's really made me consider setting up a public renegade server on a 10mbit, called "NO BULLSHIT, NO STUPID" ...
Cheaters are gonna cheat regardless, I'd rather have some cheaters in a game then install software from some unknown source. No offense intended, My dev's release software all the time, but i provide all the source and am welcome to criticism's. To just "take your word for it" seem's kinda poor.
Just my opinion I suppose.
Thanks for the response. ![Smile](images/smiley_icons/icon_smile.gif)

The reason it is no open source is simple. If it was open source. People with a bit of programming skills, would just edit the program in such a way that it wouldn't scan your files for hacks, but simply connect to the network.
Also the guys who made the software are quit reliable. They are the same guys behind this forums, and the BHS corepatch. If Renguard really contained trojans, or whatever you have heard, they would be have the complete renegade community attacking them and Renguard would end quit fast.
Now why don't you Download it? I've heared about many people who don't want to download it. But still download a lot of other programs from the internet. If you use a file-sharing program you are in a way bigger risk of virusses and other bad software. I really think it's strange people complain about this program possibly containing virusses while 75% of there software isn't bought.
Size doesn't matter.
