waltwal · 11-13-2003, 08:49 PM

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 · 11-13-2003, 08:50 PM

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

No it's not, it is temporal challenged.

Nyarlahotep · 11-13-2003, 09:00 PM

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 · 11-13-2003, 09:04 PM

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 · 11-13-2003, 09:22 PM

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

Nyarlahotep · 11-13-2003, 09:25 PM

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?

mtolson · 11-13-2003, 09:30 PM

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 !

GoldenEagle · 11-13-2003, 09:31 PM

Hey, good call waltwa.

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