Status: offline 		Paul, WB, I am downloading the complete version of the 4.5 file with Getright. My question is this. It says the file is 360mb in the text, but GR says 344mb, that's 16mb off the mark. That's a substational amount of missing data if it's true? Also should I even be bothering to do this since 4.6 will be released soon. Will it be an upgrade as before or a complete download? And any idea as to when it will be available? I have seen on other threads around the 21st. I did try to search for previous info on my questions but did not really find anything. ------------------ 1stSgt Semper Fi "Steel on Target" Company B 1st Tank Bn

Well Im not WB or Paul, but ill try to help ya out. if they file says 360 MB then you may end up with incomplete download when your done if you say getright only says 344. I think 4.6 will be just an upgrade , at least at first...I may be wrong on this however hope i helped in some way... Alby [This message has been edited by Alby (edited January 21, 2001).]

Status: offline 		Just wanted to say 1stSgt that they usually release most of the patches as first an upgrade for people already with the full version, and then as the full version shortly there after. Hope that helps. Oh, and I see from your signature that you were with 1st tanks. I was with 2/7 myself and I was just wondering if you were with tanks after they got to 29 Stumps or not? Just looking to find some brother desert Marines. ------------------ USMCGrunt -When it absolutely, positively, has to be destroyed overnight.

Grunt, I used to be the 1stSgt for Golf Company before I moved to Tanks. That is where I am now. ------------------ 1stSgt Semper Fi "Steel on Target" Company B 1st Tank Bn

Status: offline 		Just checking 1stSgt. When I first got to 29 Palms. The Tank unit on base was 3rd Tank Bn. After we got back from the Gulf, somewhere along the line, they had become 1st Tanks. Just wanted to check. ------------------ USMCGrunt -When it absolutely, positively, has to be destroyed overnight.

Status: offline 		USMCGrunt, Nice to know there are some desert marines here.I was in 29 stumps from 88'-92' with 3rd tanks and then 1st tanks after desert storm. 3 rd tanks was disbanded and 1st tanks from camp pendelton was moved to 29 stumps, same people just different name, pentagon did not think we needed that many tank Battalions. (just some info. in case your interested) SEMPER FI.

Status: offline 		Ursus, Thanks for the update. I had figured that's what happened. Guess when we traded in the M60s for M1s the Pentagon thought we had a big enough "Force Modifier" and decided to cut back a bit. God forbid the Marines get too strong. We lost a lot of good Marines in the cutbacks after 92. Just out of curiosity. Did you guys ever get that Soviet tank running that you brought back from the Gulf. I remember watching you guys haul that thing around just the other side of DeValle Rd. and we were wondering if you were trying to "drag start" the bugger. Just wondering. ------------------ USMCGrunt -When it absolutely, positively, has to be destroyed overnight.

Status: offline 		USMCGrunt, You are right about the lose of good marines in 91' & 92' I knew a lot of kick ass guys that left for one reason or another if you know what i mean. I am not sure about the soviet tank around Devalle Rd., that was most likely dealt with the intelligence types. We did get a T-72 running in are area by Kuwait International Airport though.

Sorry to bring the thread back to the original question but the difference may have to do with the way the same data is displayed. 1Kb is 1024 bytes so strictly 1Mb is 1024 squared or 1,048,576 bytes. However some programs display the downloads using 1Mb equals 1,000,000 bytes or worst still 1,000 times 1kb. Confusing huh??? Both answers are probably right in their own way. Reg. P.S. Keep going with the conversation, this is quite interesting.

Exactly. The exact file size is 360 712 066 bytes, or 352 258 kB, or 344 MB. You did get the complete download.

Status: offline 		I downloaded version 4.5 using GetRight which showed it as a 344mb download but then kept going for a little while after it reached the 344mb mark and everything worked fine. By the way my ISP was having poblems during the download and my average download soeed was 2.5kbps. 40 hours the download took, during which my computer crashed 3 times, froze twice, and I was disconnected numerous times. I was amazed that the file came trhu ok. I now swear by Get Right.
