I was offering serious advice. Some people are still on dial-ups slower than 56k so the term dial-up is relative.

Eh, I was on dialup when I first started playing and updates only took 15 hours. I'm on broadband now and they still take 15 hours.
Your broadband must really suck then...Quote:

I've got a maximum download speed of 3.5 Mbits, and i still sometimes use hours on end to download just a few hundred megabytes worth of data from S-E's update servers. 100 MB should take more like 5 minutes on my connection.
Hmm i dont know for sure then, all i know is Comcast for me takes about 1-2 hours more or less. I can understand even maybe...6 hours. But 15 Hours? Rather pay less for 56K because thats what the hours were when i used 56K.
