That's bearing in mind the fastet connection available out there is the super schmANET which only swanky educational establishments have and is the equivalent of a 14.4k in america. Believe me mate, unless you want to spend the next 500 years downloading this game, it just ain't worth it. -- Andrew Stanton sanguis aka *NeX*/-=FuQ=- "I hate self-righteous people" ============= icq#61260713 ============= -Damned Nation (beta) http://www.pukka.jolt.co.uk -The Mysterious Youth (alpha) http://www.pukka.jolt.co.uk/html/tmy/intro.html If anyone reads this, I know the above is a load of bollox, but if can convince someone to buy a game for once. well... :D

Those calculations are wrong. Its game size / download speed = time teraflops is one trillion mathematical operations per second. Download time is in size/second, not flops. According to you, downloading that long at a rate of 5kb/sec which is around a 56K you would download 7600176GIGs or 7600.176terabytes of file, which surpasses even the largest personal hardrive. The average CD holds 750MB which is 10133568 times smaller than the above. sanguis <sanguis@ntlworld.com> wrote in message news:q2dr6.19888$t1.2069656@news6-win.server.ntlworld.com... > "Granota" <granotaforever@ono.com> wrote in message > news:dVbr6.3549$Lt1.14747@newsr01.ono.com... > > Hello everybody, could anyone tell me how can I download the complete > game?. > > u just asked this in agq3. there is no way of downloading it. the game's cd > takes up 7500 Gigabytes per second an hour on a _good_ day, which is a rough > transfer rate of 5658terraflops so it would take approximately (/me pulls > out calculator) 482.3 centuries to upload.
