Then of course bear in mind that some people have broadband with a 1Gb monthly cap...

Oh, not me, I'm unlimited, and so's my internet connection ;) , but there are some people that are in that scary situation.

Mind you, as I don't illegally download movies, music or software, it's my gaming and website maintenance activities that burn through most of my transfers.

Before i formatted my HD, i had around 600mb free space. Every new release meant finding some games or files i never used

But of course back then you had to tie an onion to your belt, which was the style of the times, and nickles had bumble-bees on them. "Give me two bee's for a soda", was the line you would give the soda fountain man for a cherry coke.

;-) Ha ha, just teasing ya... I'm from the same generation myself, even had games on the REAL floppies: 5.25". :lol:

That's very kind of you, but I just wanted to restate that I DON'T have that problem, though I am aware that there are others that may do.

OTOH, it's a small price to pay for such a great mod.

I have 1mb cable with a top of around 170kb/s. I don't complain. Can you seriously not wait a few hours? Its not like you have to do it every damn day. I don't see what the problem is.
170 k/s??? Count yourself lucky man. Im on a 512k line and i get around 50k/s so your talkin around 8/9 hrs for the download!!!

Doesnt stop my enjoyment of the game tho. On quite a few servers i manage to get a ping of around 80-100 which does me fine
