Hello all, Felt like registering on the forum to voice my disappointment too at the poor download speed received at launch day. In the grand scheme of things it matters very little but it is very frustrating as I've been waiting for this for a long time. I know nothing of what happens behind the computer screen in terms of connections and who sends what to where, all I know is that as an end user this thing was telling me 8 hours to download 2.5Gig which is a little silly. I went to bed and got up early to find the file completely downloaded only to be corrupted when trying to unzip! argh! Anyway I'm downloading again at a healthy 1MB/s now, so something must have changed between last night and this morning. Others have made the point already that this doesn't happen with other big internet stores - I use Netflix and Steam a lot and have never had any issues. This is the first time I have bought a new release from Matrix and I have never had any issues with them before, but it has all been promotions on older games etc. As I said it's a minor point, only an evening wasted, but if your outsourced merchant/download (I really don't know what they're called) provider is telling you that everything is hunky-dory and going to plan, you are being taken for a ride because there were users out there with significant issues. Regards, AGM115
