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...Originally Posted by Beyond
It is extremely rare to see a speed lower than 56k used to connect to the Internet these days. The minimum requirement of 56k was much more notable in 2002 than it is today.
I believe in the power of humanity.
Oh I agree, I was just saying those updates are going to kill. And it's not just how fast your broadband is, I'm sure SE bottleneck their connection and that's the reason it takes 4-6 hours on a 20mb/sec connection that is closer to their servers than America. ><;
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
More likeYour broadband must really suck then...
a) The routing between his ISP and S-E sucks
b) S-E's servers suck.
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.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
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.
