First off use winrar to rar up your game into one file.
And have your file in your main web dir.
Then you can make a link to it on your site like so:

<a href="yourgame.rar"> Text for your link </a>

Then when someone clicks on the text, they can download it.

If you dont understand where that goes, let me know.
Ill help ya thru it.

Good luck

you need to upload your game to your homepage.

if you dont have a homepage , bad luck , make one...
Tell your friends or so to help you, its not that difficult.

if you have a homepage and you uploaded your game there,
then go to game-anouncement forum or whatever and type the link to your homepage-folder where your game is in, for example:
http://www.yourhomepagename.com/downloads/game.rar
Everyone who goes to the game-announcement-forum will be able to see your link then.

I hope you see you cannot upload your game to the AGS site. The games you see in the game-folder are all links to someones homepage.

Also, use a ZIP file instead of RAR, if you want twice as many people to download your game.

Yes, and to make a link in the forums just put [ url]demozipaddress[ /url] without the spaces... it's in the instructions.
