As long as they can sell 'premium' download subscriptions, they will keep the free stuff at a minimum. I wouldn't be suprised if they actually will discourage bittorrent's in the future as it cuts into their biz model.

Torrent is bouncing slow/fast.

Mine is just bouncing from slow to even slower to 0kb/s :(

I'm transferring it directly to my webserver from EA's ftp, but it's going sloooowly. It's at 340 MB right now probably at around 50-60 KB/s. After that I could probably transfer it to your server in no time, but someone else would probably step up before that happens.

the specs are missleading..........they say G Force FX or better....but on the EA site they state that it needs to be a FX 5700 or better or a radeon 8500 or better.

so all those with 5200 etch-a-sktech, and 5200 etch-a-sketch turbos, and 5600 M$ paint editions wont be able to play too well if it all

Downloading the torrent link right now. Hovering around 80KB/s - 100KB/s on my 6Mb connection. I am feeding it up around 70KB/s though, so karma will come full circle for me while playing tonight :D.
