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.

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! Last modified Mon, 10/06/2008 - 23:33 by Dil999

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.
