Torrents could be an option, but I'd prefer to not have to use a torrent to get something I actually paid for.
A download manager would be nice. An app I could run that I could feed my user/pswd to get a list of games that I'd bought, and be able to download and install them with one click, ala Steam.
You don't have to add any of the other stuff that Steam does, just a list of games that I own and the option to download/install/launch would be enough. Of course make this interface optional. A direct download is preferable in some cases.
For a direct download I guess it would be a good idea to offer it in .zip and .exe flavors so that you could download whichever you liked. It can't be that much work to compress the game to .zip, .7z, .rar, and give the option of what one they want.
