Well, I was at fileplanet and decided to download Planetside and see what all the talk is about. I find out they have a dedicated server for the game so I'm happy. While I had to wait, I decided to check the file size, almost 1.5GB! OMG! :Q

My cable modem is going to be flashing for almost 2 hours now...

Cable modem? Oh, your life is so rough.

I downloaded linux distros on 56K dialup, with an ISP that booted me off every 8 hours.

Took me quite a few days to get everything, but it worked when I was done.

1.5GB isn't that bad anymore, especially with cable.

To do that, I'd just download the same thing over and over... I couldn't think of something like that either.

I remember downloading iD software demos on my 14.4k modem (which cost me $350).

There's a difference between a 1.3gb sprint and a 90gb marathon. He'd have average over 500kbps the whole time.
