Could always release a minimal install of PR then release map packs afterwards?

Way to difficult to do for some people.

I always find incrementals dodgy TBH, sometimes they never work, thats why I use full installs.

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
Exactly the same here. And I can get my full 50KB/s on the direct links, torrent is all well and good, but it doesn´t make a difference to me, I am not going to get above 50KB/s. (or can you?). Anyway, I don´t have a torrent "thing" installed.

8 or 9 hours is fine for me though, put it on when I go to bed, finished when I get up. :D

Haha - I remember when you had to load a game off these things called cassette players, which involved closing your eyes and saying "please....please...please..." repeatidly under your breath for the duration of loading :lol:

I've had problems with the Torrents so far; they've never installed properly. Always received an error at some point (not always the same place) that a source file (usually a map) is corrupted. Now I don't bother with the torrents despite the 700-800kb/s downloads possible on a good day but go straight for the full file.
