Status: offline 		Dunno what you get for average speeds, but I used to get approx. 96kb/s on DSL. I have cable now and got it in 23mins at an average of 336kb/s, so figure something like an hour and 20 minutes for you.

Assuming you're going to be using slower, resiential DSL, that is.

It took me 3 hours 40 minutes but normaly my DSL is much faster.

Status: offline 		2-4hrs is a fair assessment. 6hrs is still reasonable if it's during peak times on the NET. The download is smooth though and the fact that you have DSL running will make it very efficient. Bit of a wait, but WELL worth it.

I started download about Midnight CET last night. The DL was not as fast as my conn could handle but I dont complain at all !

I took the US - Store because at this time, european dl was not aviable.

for me, thought it was very quick (I didn't get the news, till after 9 last night, so maybe had a less packed line :))

Yes, that was one of the pleasant surprises with Digital River... There was so much concern about it being able to handle the load... But once it was up and running it was as stable as they come. Even at cable's speeds, there's always fluctuation. I have a T3 at home and while it was as good as 490KB/sec, it never dropped below 420... VERY stable!

Gotta hand it to Matrix. All the caution they took at getting this right paid off! Back to the game... KUDOS a plenty gents! WELL DONE!

It *still* beats waiting 3 months until your local store happens to finally get of their arse and get one in stock for you.

Doesn't your local library have broadband and a burner? Hell, go to the university and offer some student a case of beer to use their computer lab. (Over 21, of course)

Status: offline 		A little bit of advice if using a common machine, PLEASE flush the browser's cache afterwards. All your information will be sitting there for the next guy that happens to come along. I'd hate to see people get in that kind of a situation.

The same holds true even on your own machine, after downloading you probably have a 400+ meg file left sitting in your browser's cache directory eating up your hard drive space. Security on the Internet is extremely poor. Always remember that.

Great, some germans out here! Greetings from munich!
DD via DSL took about 1h 23 min today (in the afternoon!), only to discover the bugs in the tutorial... grrr!
The rest of the game looks great, Thanks to all those who participated in producing this game!!!
