News from Digital River: This affects us! Thursday May 13, 2:24 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release Digital River Makes It Easy for Consumers to Download Computer Games With I-stream Technology New Download Manager From Digital River Provides More Incentives for Game Publishers to Open Online Stores LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 1999-- Digital River (Nasdaq: DRIV - news), the worldwide leader in electronic software delivery (ESD), is addressing the gaming industry's need for effective download technology to enable the electronic delivery of computer games at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). Digital River's new i-stream (SM) download manager is a free utility that helps customers manage and simplify the download process of software and other digital products. I-stream provides assistance for all downloads and is available on the end user's task bar to manage downloads from any Digital River-operated Web commerce site. I-stream provides users with thorough instructions at every step of the download process, and automatically installs the game on the user's desktop. When gamers download a game using Digital River's i-stream, they have the capability to temporarily cancel a download and resume at a later time. This feature is particularly valuable in situations where a power outage or system failure occurs - causing the computer to shut down - because i-stream will restart the download from the last byte transferred. Digital River CEO Joel Ronning comments, ''I-stream saves consumers a substantial amount of time, and makes it easier for them to purchase and receive digital products electronically. We have also incorporated a log into i-stream that captures and tracks every downloaded file on a user's computer, helping consumers manage their own systems more efficiently.''
