Whoho! Getting the demo now!

[smelx]

At last! Been waiting for it for ages!

Going reeeeally slow though... 8k :(

[Enterprize]

YAAAAAY!!!


*Seconds later 3D gamers gets a MASSIVE bandwidth surge leading to collapse of servers*

34 kbs here :p

[Beelzebuddy]

Damn! I won't be where I can play it for 3 hours! This is worse than missing saturday morning cartoons as a kid!

Will the first person to finish downloading please make a bittorrent link to it, to help prevent slashdotting?

[Nanite]

Where from? Gamespot?

I think they have it up, if anyone can confirm:
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/homeworld2/downloads.html

[Edit- Never mind, found the update at relicnews]

[smelx]

34 kbs here :p [/B]

Damn it... Then you'll get a headstart on the tutorial and own me online :talk:

[DFrost]

So slow. I'm on cable and its goin from 8 - 10 kbps.

[smelx]

Just like me.. On dsl and get around 8k... Could go to bed, but don't know if I will manage to sleep... It's like the good old modem days... 8k :)

[NightRaven]

ETA: 1 hour @ 39 kbps

[Atreides]

Same here, I'm getting between 7 to 14 kbps.

ACK!

But I have 2% of the demo!

(Making LARGE POT OF COFFEE)

[Atreides]

BTW, is the Gamespot running any faster?

[smelx]

Don't think so... Friend of mine is getting it there @5k ... He's using DSL...

[Toolfan]

I'm downloading it now from fileplanet.com, at 18%, getting it at 80 kb/sec. :D

What? Are you really getting that speed there ? Or does is gamespot saying you can get it at that speed?

Well it fluctuates but it averages about 170 something.

Yes I'm really getting that speed there. 8% complete and 12 mb down. I got twelve sources I'm leec...erm sharing ;) ;) from. (automatically from Kontiki client!)

[Atreides]

WHERE?!

GAMESPOT?!

Darn you....I will catch up soon :lol:

[bob_1029]

god i love fileplanet private account :D
im dling from 2 servers @ ~245 kbs
BUAHAHAHHA

[Atreides]

Well, to quote CRAP_GA_Newbie

"BASTARDS, I WILL KILL YOU ALL!!!!"

8% OMG OMG!

[Pavonis]

May I suggest that everyone possible use the 3dGamers "World" link? It's bittorrent so the first few will break the lead and then things will cascade down quickly from there. I'm pulling a decent 30 kB/s right now from it, but with more people it could be far better.

[smelx]

Yesss... Found a much faster server....

180 k :)

[Cyrai]

Where are you getting it from? I'm using the bittorent for 6kb/s. I'm uploading 3-4 times faster than I'm downloading it.

Are you mocking me like a n00b or are you amazed that its 8%....I doubt its the latter but I will give you benefit of the doubt. Its 17% now...

[ToastedLightly]

use the Boomtown.net site I am getting 180kbs and have 90 mb done.

[Cyrai]

How do you limit bittorent? I'm new with the program?

[smelx]

yess! @30% now.. Can't wait..!

[Atreides]

No, I am not mocking anyone, Im just feeling feisty. And I was at 8 % then. Relax m8

I am using the bit .torrent thing d/l ing at 6 and uploading at 18

But I got 11% now.

[LtWarhound]

3DGamers is dying when trying to reach it. Can't get the d/l started there.

Fileplanet (ya, I know) public has me in line to get it, claiming 15 minutes now, but its been going down one minute per 2 realtime minutes.

OMO still doesn't have it. Nor does the 'official page'.

Haven't tried Gamespot. Normally have lousy luck there.

Hhmm, time to pop another movie in, or go rent one, just finished 'A Fish Called Wanda', again, but I can't recall the sorta-sequel to it. Same cast, different story, no direct connection but almost as funny.

Its kind of tricky. You have to go into the folder and theres a .bitorrent file in there that says something like beta advanced download client. You have to download that (using normal BT) and install it. Then you can limit the upload based on your connection.

Predictably so. It was the first one listed so it got (is slash-dotted the term to use?) crushed with all the requests.

I dont like fileplanet. *shudder* Many better download places.

I would try gamespot. Use IE tho cause otherwise it wont work.

[Atreides]

No problem Enterprize

We are all hyped up either on caffeine, adrenaline or both.

I was lucky enough to get an hour nap.

14% Aw come on!

[smelx]

im now at 90% http://www.gamershell.com/

Done... playing now!!!! posting with other computer :P

so...evil.... :madashel: :madashel:

[Atreides]

Yeah, but I used that link and it is much faster than what I had

[*THASF*]

Still waiting in line at FilePlanet. It looks like they've brought out the UK server and West USA corner servers! Do you think that maybe they've added those servers in... because of HW2's newfound popularity?

Even if I don't like the demo (I'm sure I will love it to death, but this is just rhetorical), I'll still buy the game for story! :D

yeah but thats okay since I have blasted homework. Dang you high school *shakes fist evilly*

btw its slower for me anyway :cranky:

[JargonFilter]

gamespot seems to be sucking a lot right now. it goes from 2k to 1500kbit per second. Most of the time it hangs around 50k, then jumps to 1500k for a minute then goes back down for 5 min, then back up. 81 percent done, at this rate, its going to take another 20 min :(

--pimpster

[agent_pissant]

now at 90% going at 160kb/s file planet ain't so bad just have to wait 30 minutes to start.

ahh finally done.

[DFrost]

Hah!! I just cancelled my Download with 3d Gamers and started with Gamers Hell and its at like 180 kbps.

[*THASF*]

Woohoo! A half hour and I'll have it! :D

Heck, just the first few seconds and I have 7% of it... w00t w00t!
