For me it was the matrix game on 4 cd's which was about 2.1 - 2.4 gb, took me about two weeks to get, in the end they were corrupt that taught me never to download cd images on kazaa ever again.

Recently i downloaded a 2 cd version of the matrix reloaded movie which was about 1.4 gigs. :D

Ghost Recon


It was like 800 megs or something. All I know is that it took like 12 hours about.

I was so happy once I fired my first bullet.

Now it takes me about 20 minutes!! lol

800mb in 12 hours on 56k is impossible, the max you could do would be about 80mb in 5 hours.

Yea same for me. I only really download movies off kazaa so 500-700 meg files are pretty common in my download list (even if they do take 60 odd hours to download <_< ).

it is something that I have come to live with. The first time I downloaded a movie, I almost ripped my eyes out. It was the Matrix, and it was only a 600mb one. Like 12 movies later, and 700mb to 800mb in normal. So when I see anything below 50hrs I jump with joy.
Also, I just downloaded a movie the fastest ever. Animal House in 4 days. And it&#39;s 700mb. Downloaded 150mb every 7hrs, that was pretty good.
