OFF Hooray but Ouch!

[Borton]

I have Broadband capable of dealing with a speed of up to 2MB. I have tried two download sources but the best is Polovski's with an estimated download time varying between 12 and 18 hrs! :icon_eek:

I've set the alarm clock to 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I hope nothing falls over at some time in between! :mix-smi:

I'm based in England. Do you want me to send CDs to anyone?

[jrk9]

The OFF team should have also uploaded it to many other sites. This just might be worse than when a huge sale is about to start at the mall!

patience is a virtue. This is FREEEEEEEware so not too many complaints.:wiggle::d

[grover1]

well no need to worry i've set my clock for 8 am tommorow morning

[jrk9]

This reminds me of the days when I had dial-up. I thought those days would never come back!:censored: :icon_twi:

[Polovski]

reminds me of the days I had dial up and a new WW1 game had just come out called Red Baron II ;)

Anyone using the vko1 server ???

I am NOT complaining; I am observing!

I am currently getting a transfer rate of 7-8 KB/Sec with an estimated completion time of 21 hrs 41 min. I hope I'm not doing something wrong or is this just par for the course?

[Polovski]

well my server gives me at least 155K+ download on a normal day and I guess there's more there spare - so yep it's being clobbered.

[jrk9]

Anyone using the vko1 server ??? yeah I tried it as clogged up now as the rest. This is probably the craziest day ever for me, on this site at least:isadizzy:

[jrk9]

reminds me of the days I had dial up and a new WW1 game had just come out called Red Baron II ;) oh, Red Baron that game never worked on my pc, actually gave me a virus:d

[WildBat]

The site has timed out for me, only using OFF and Polovski site right now.

[WildBat]

Ping to www.vko1.com (http://www.vko1.com) is now 2800 ms

[Borton]

Nope! It is just getting slower and slower from all sites.

Methinks I should leave it until the initial rush dies down.

[Polovski]

Good idea, Just a hunch but I reckon 10000 people all clicking download at once is the problem ;)

[RickN]

Sounds like OFF is getting more interest then CFS3 on release day. :jawdrop:


Gues I will give it a few days before downloading.

[WildBat]

RickN: one more mirror site up in 8-10 hours time

After all it is Xmass :santahat:
