I really don't see how uploading files manually is any more convenient than using the game client to do it. I suppose if you had one computer with internet access, but no game software, and another computer with the game, but no internet, and wanted to download on the first computer and copy to the game system with a floppy or something.

Another case might be if you are playing behind a firewall, and the firewall doesn't allow you to connect to the game server, but does let you contact webpages.

Are you in these situations? Or something else?
