I took me hour to download .5
.6 took same amount of time

But yeah, if dont have good connection theres no way around it, use torrent or dowload manager so you can download it in pieces.

Lol I downloaded pr .5 and .6 at the same time and took me like an hour and a half...

If it takes that long, I know how it feels I used to have to deal with the same shit about 4 years ago only dl'n at 30-40kbs [now I get like 200-600kb/s], just set it up overnight. I prefer Sunday nights that way if I want to do something I can game out on Monday night, or have it for some light gaming during the week and for gaming on the weekend.

Well it's been about 10 hours since you posted this, so I don't see the problem? You should have it by now.

Torrents are your friend when large files are involved.

No, you cant go faster then the internet...and mostly everyone's copy of PR took 9-12 hours to download...but its worth

30-40 mins for me...

However long it takes to DL, it's sure worth it!


Mcminty.

Yep, just under 3/4 hour for me.

PS .6 OB Rocks!

Just so you know, mailing it would take longer than 7 hours

Don't like it? Don't download it. Oh, and ESPECIALLY don't waste our time posting about how annoying it is. That annoys US.

Also keep in mind that the openbeta is not really for the general public, but rather for the PR community to test. So at least for the open beta, torrent is our primary way of distribution, so we don't have to spend several days setting up mirrors and can release more frequently.

For releases, we do our best to set up direct-link mirrors to please everybody (impossible).

That said, the torrent is typically your best bet UNLESS your ISP throttles them or your router is not configured properly. What I especially like about torrents is the ability to verify the file. No corrupted downloads And should it get corrupted, you can have it fix it by verifying it.
