I'm sure you all know about/have it already but gamespot seemed to think it was new news yesterday.

Tomorrow hopefully. Guy tells me it's been sent recorded delivery. Tells me he's received payment. Paypall says soo, but it's not out of my bank yet.

*worries*

Damn, I haven't wanted to play a video game this much since..... Well..... Never.

I'm so sad. ;D ........................

Hmmm, lucky I'm not gonna d/l this till Monday then :D

Yeh, it sucks not having an upload limit.

Mine was uploading at a steady 33KB/s and download at 4. Why it was uploadin at that speed when I only had 4mb of the file I don't know.

Im not finding it too bad, the speed does fluctuate a bit, but it seems to stay in a range between 20-70kB/s. The only problem is the huge drain on bandwidth, i had to refresh this page to get it to load properly.

I'm 702/721 in fileplanet line.
Still beats waiting for that tossy blizzard downloader to work.
I resent people snatching it from me whilst I sit and stare like a dog at my monitor as it slowly crawls...crawls by downloading.

Oh Pand, when you get yr game you'll be patching from retail but at least the crush will be over by then.
I knew it was going to be a slow process but this is a tad silly.

**edit**
Download rate 2.00 KB/s, upload rate 23.2 KB/s
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, stop stealing my bandwidth you stinkyass beardy fools.

My blizzard downloader stopped downloading. Fileplanet it is.

60 min wait, 15 min download :(

It uses a bittorrent style transfer by the looks of it.
You may download 1mb, but 18 people might take that 1mb off you.

You'd have thought with us paying £8 a month they'd be able to afford an excellent download service much like fileplanet/shack instead of leaving us with a torrent downloader thingy.

EDIT: And why is the download on Blizzard 60mb yet on fileplanet its just under 100mb.

How can I have uploaded more than I have downloaded?
Good plan Dam, I'll queue as well.

And heres me downloadin a 4KB/s when my connection is capable of 240 KB/s.

I'm queing for fileplanet at the same time. Will probably be quicker.
