fof 2004 dl is really slow

[waltwal]

has anyone noticed that the download of fof 2004 is really slow. i have a very powerful computer with hi-speed line and it was taking forever. i am going to wait to dl in the hope it will speed up.

That's because pretty much everyone here is downloading it at the same time...

[sabotai]

A LOT of people are d/l'ing it right now, that's why it's slow. Mine's a 2.45KB/sec...

:D

No it's not, it is temporal challenged.

Thanks for the warning. The other thread didn't mention that it was going slow.

I have a bunch of browsers open right now; currently downloading 73 different copies of the file. think that's part of the problem?

I wills end my team of smuggling donkeys after you if you don't stop.

[Nyarlahotep]

The donkeys I sold you are deaf. I hope you didn't plan on sending them unaccompanied. Plus I heard Draft Dodger is shooting every donkey he sees in an effort to cut down on smuggling.

[yabanci]

nobody sells me a deaf smuggling donkey and gets away with it.

[Nyarlahotep]

The hell if I didn't. Thanks for the vacation fund. You should have read the warranties on the donkeys before it was too late to get a refund.

What does having a very powerful computer have to do with it?

Atleast you guys can download. My system crashed after putting in the credit card info. Got the confirmation email, but when you click on the link its comes back with a 404. Called tech. support but the number shown on the "contact us" page is invalid.

I know, not Jim's fault but this really sucks !

Hopefully someone will have mirror up soon. If you have the confirmation email with the license number then you will be all set.

No firewall, just NAT'ed behind linksys router.

If anyone wants to send it to my school address, I can have it up in no time.
