Oh yeah that&#39;s a great game, especially with a controller. Runs better on the PC too, no jutters.

Are you sure? Working on the basis that on dial-up at full speed, you can download one megabyte every four minutes, that&#39;s 15mb and hour, and 360mb a day, so by my working it should have taken atleast four days solid. Anyway... is it any good, I was thinking of getting it.

[mr_tiki]

When I had dial up..

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
650 MB
took about 11 days from kazaa

now i have broadband so thats over

WTF, I ate 2 cans of beens and I&#39;ll send you a picture of what I downloaded.

[ShockAndAwe^i^]

XP Pro around 500mb

Nice, is it good? I was thinking of getting it.

[amphoteric88]

imo, splinter cell is the biggest let down for a pc game in the last year. sure, the graphics are brilliant, but the controls are awkward and the action isn&#39;t thoughtout enough.
i&#39;d say you should download it to see it running, but unless you&#39;ve got a pretty good spec, it won&#39;t run too well

[jetje]

i&#39;m still busy dl a file called "THE INTERNET" somehow i need to keep adding harddisks.. ;)
I started think 10-12 years ago... on 9600B dial up modem (or was it something like4000?)
Now connected with broadband but still sais dl time.... The rest of your live... :lol:

yeah I do that, the electricity&#39;s about a quarter of the price too.

[imported_stigeide]

Electricity cheaper during night? It must be a joke&#33; :ph34r:
Anyhow, after I bought new PC I can only have it on during night because the FAN drives me (and my family) crazy. We&#39;re moving soon, then Ill put it in a closet and go wireless.

First movie I downloaded was 12 monkeys, and thats a great movie - its on my top 5 list. Both Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis are great.
It took weeks&#33; And I am (and was) at DSL (1Mb/s).
It was a Gnutella Client, probably XoloX.

Peace&#33;

[Spindulik]

For me, a single file of 1.23531GB&#33;


Note:
Downloading Part 1 (700+mb) and part 2 (700+mb) of a file, is not the same as getting one huge file. The original question was single download.

[stoi]

well the biggest i have got in one go was on newsgroups but as they are max 20meg .rars then its not realy classed as a single download.

5gig download at least probably closer to 6 or 7 by the time i had finished adding to it.
1meg connection
PC games, various ones
probably about 6 or 7 hours but not to sure now might have been longer.
125KBs all the way and sometimes peaking at 400KBs for a few minutes and dropping down

the biggest single download was probably the daredevil centropy version 1.6gig off bittorrent
again 125KBs all the way
about 2:30 i think (but i never realy take a lot of notice at the time)

stoi

[googleman]

think 150 meg with a 28.8k modem... 7 days
