As usual, don't post my link outside of AT!

Enjoy.


OMG! Started off at 1319KB/s! I love you, as much as a straight, non-bi-curious male can!:beer:
You do know that Firefox (and probably IE) start downloading as soon as you click the link not when you choose the save location, right? When tehy calculate your download rate at the beginning they don't take the prefetching time into account, and you end up with a ginormous number for your download rate. It should come down to your actual connection speed quickly enough though.

edit: oh yeah, mucho gracias for the server :)

game won't even launch for me, I guess the card doesn't meet min specs.

Yeah, I know, but i'd never seen such high speeds on a download window. It's levelled off at about 200KB/s. Btw, highest sustained dl speeds i've seen on my home connection are around 700KB/s.

Lame lame lame lame... It doesn't work with a 6600GT. :/ It just opens a black screen then closes right away. :/ I even installed the included 77.30 drivers.

I beileve you can edit the config or .ini files to do so, if anyone finds out how please let the other widescreen users know!

You know Ausm, COD and MOF don't really do it for me. BF 1942 did everything I dreamed of and put it all together in a nice lil package and that is why I am still throroughly addicted to it. :D The others are too scripted for my taste although they are well done. MP isn't nearly as immersive either.

Hey, you're gonna be tired for your fishing trip! LOL

Thanks but I left to set a DVD player for my daughter and now I am at 47% so I guess I will suffer a little longer 'cause I don't wanna stop it now! :)
