Depends on how you want to write the floppy.
You can write from PC IF you have a catweasle floppy controller and these are hard to find nowdays.

You can download on pc and transfer with a null modem cable to Amiga and let the Amiga write to floppy (Amiga Forever is free and can do this).

You can download to PC and put on a CF card then use a CF to PCMCIA adapter on Amiga 600 then use TSGui to write ADF to floppy on the Amiga.

Or hook your Amiga up to the internet and download directly on Amiga or over the network from PC or use FTP or HTFS.

From all these methods I would suggest using a A600 since it has PCMCIA and use the adapter available both from amigakit and Vesalia easiest and cheapest but won't work on the A500 since it doesn't have pcmcia.
Here is a link for the CF adapter:

Edit: For C64 you have to ask someone else since I don't use them anymore, I emulate C64 now days since I got no space for both Amigas and C=64's.

ok, i'm just new in amiga world and don't know nothing i wish to learn , so when i wish to download games i will ask for detail, now i just wish to know is it possible and now i know it is ;) thanks for hlep

Tho it's good to know that you need workbench 2.x for adfblitz and also TSGui can handle HDF great for making backups and also rewrite your entire hard drive instead of copying with dopus.

So just a quick warning for S0nic that he needs WB2.x for it, TSGui works on all WBs.
Both are good programs tho but I have had less errors with TSGui.

hmm , you try to erase floppy and that program have error and can delite hard disk?
