Everything is full. Can't friggin download. If we get our hands on it, we'll throw it up somewhere for you guys. We might have to shut down the POE and the CSS servers in order to free up both of those machines for the bandwidth.

We'll keep you updated.

That is what I was hoping to hear (well read). I am going to try for a little longer and if I still can't get in I will just wait until later.

Yea I'd hate to be the moderator of these sites right now :D It's giving me different file sizes when i refresh though..the biggest file size I've seen is 559.9mb..hope that's correct...

I don't think the file on download.com is correct. During download it is showing that the total size is 200MB. That sounds like a fake file. Let me know if it' the demo or not Phenix.

You might want to try it until you get the right one nsane..hate for you to waste an hour or more to find out it doesn't work...

Mine is 559.9.. why exactly would download.com have different Filesizes anyways? Unless they used a different file compression like winrar rather than zip... :crazy:

i'm going to try my geforce 5200, see what happens on low settings
I agree this is total bs.
I am not buying new graphics cards every year, once per 2 years max.

I have a 5200 too, didn't have to buy it though since it came with my PC, and I was getting a new vid card in a week anyways. So, hopefully I can atleast try it out with my 5200 even if it lags so bad I can hardly play..

Down with technology moving so fast, hury up and get to the point where it can't progress anymore and be the best that it can be so I can stop upgrading! :wallbash:

I tottaly agree, I got mine on my seventeenth birthday last September. Oh well, it was a bit outdated anyways. Hopefully by this September thirtieth I can ask for money from everyone and at least get a 6600. That should hold me for another year or so. But it still is BS to have to upgrade such expensive hardware so often.

Alright. We're currently downloading from 2 locations:

EA's server at 21.5KB/sec
GameCenter at 58.7KB/sec

Their servers are so packed as our servers connections is a big fat 100Mbit to the router and then OC48 to the internet.

OMG! I got to 180 MB then it said the download was complete, I open up the folder and it was 180 and it 'had a problem' so now I have to download it all over again! Ugh... that makes me so mad.
