Lol no worries at all dude it was no trouble at all

, i got mine free off a mate cause he's a paying subscriber but doesn't care about the game

By the way i use the download manager from fileplanet & most always get 480Kb/s off it my max for 4mb.

marc2003 · 27 Jan 2007 at 01:00

lol. started off with a 25 minute wait. slowly got down to 5 minutes and now it's gone back upto 25 again.... :eek:

i might have to acquire the file elsewhere. i do have my activation key afterall.

DaveOwl · 27 Jan 2007 at 01:01

I hope you lot drive faster in the game than you do downloading the thing or there won't be much of a challenge

173

been back at 25 minutes for over 10 minutes now.

ps3ud0 · 27 Jan 2007 at 01:14

Seems the queue is moving but the estimated time is static - so fingers crossed - I guess it takes a fair while to dl such a large file for 100+ ppl...

Dno how many dls each server can handle simultaneously...

Im 122 now

WTF Just started to dl - did 20Mb (stop and start speeds) and now I re-queued @ 106 out of 111 :/

ps3ud0 :cool:

marc2003 · 27 Jan 2007 at 02:29

i don't believe it. my download has started at last and i'm getting 600-700kb/s. i didn't expect this as a non-subscriber.....

marc2003 · 27 Jan 2007 at 04:03

1h30mins to download 3.5gb. not bad at all. now it better be worth it. installing now.

Use bit torrent - it will probably be quicker.... for those of u with pants speeds.

Got my key, done the intro bit but how do i go and race online? It says TDU servers unavailable in the top left.
