I almost had it on the disk but suddenly the server went down for a few minutes and now i cant start the download again because "Automated Download Bot is serving all the downloads he can right now"  ???  >:(  :'(

I almost had it (0.1MB from finished) but then I forgot that firefox was downloading it, closed the browser and killed it. When I opened the browser again, I guess firefox resumed and overwrote it with some sort of "you're not authorised" file. Now I've been waiting for an hour for a spot again.

:'(

This is like some weird sort of penance we're paying. It's like our last display of devotion before we get rewarded.

Automated Download Bot may hate me, but 2D Boy Automated Download Buddy loves me!  ;D

Gonna keep trying the download bot every 5 minutes until midnight tonight (I got my code less than a minute ago).  Hopefully I can run the download overnight, install before I go to school tomorrow, and play right when I get home.
EDIT: WOO! The download just started and ETA is <15 minutes- thank you google chrome!

Had the download going twice but the internet here (at work) has dropped out twice - once when it had 4% remaining :(

Trying via remote desktop to get it @ home now - hopefully the different IP's won't be a problem

Hard to be angry when we're getting the game early but for later releases you might considering putting up a torrent and having the .torrent files accessible through the download bot.

PS. Adding a meebo chat-room to the too many downloaders page was ingenious.
