Minecraft Alpha Questions

Okay guys, have two questions.

ONE. Minecraft servers are down today. You can get game for free. Will it work forever? Or will you need a paid account to keep using it?

TWO. Can you play Alpha in-browser? Or do you have to download it? If you have to download, how much space does it take?

Thanks guys! Just wanting to take advantage of how awesome this guy is!

ONE: I have no idea.
TWO: You could play alpha in browser, but it appears that the site is down so you probably wont be able to. If you download it, the game itself doesn't take up that much space, but the save files can get gigantic if you go exploring a lot. This is because the game generates randomly so the farther you go the more it generates and the bigger the save file gets. (Just for reference the game can generate an area three times the size of earth.)

klemen got it for free, he can still use it now.

my owrld is 12mb, so the total file is around 13-15 mb

Thanks guys, looks like this will take more memory than I thought...

but if you play it in your browser it will still take that much space.....
