Is that from softpedia?

I'm getting much the same, from the first link in my thrad above.

And i am using a dl manager too.....

 

[michael 118]

just gets lower and lower... 7kb/s is average

 

[michael 118]

ah much better! softpedia, i'm getting 90kb/s average.



6 hours to go....can't wait

 

[michael 118]

sorry to post 3 in a row

the softpedia one seems fairly dodgy... it stopped, opened up the zip file (waiting for me to click on it) and claimed it was finished downloading. Softpedia now says Bioshock cannot be found.

I think it may have crashed

 

[V_R]

Yeah i read SP was dodgy.


Mine is still slow as f***, managed 80kb/s for a bit then back to 50....The torrents are even slower. This from a 5.5 meg connection....

I may as well wait until the official release, at least there will be more places to get it from as this aint gonna be done by midnight when the official release is out. Can just set that going overnight and while i is at work.

I'm on a torrent now too - think I'll leave it on overnight and hope for the best.

 

[V_R]

How is the torrent going Ian? I found a few but were slow as hell, with all leechers and no seeds...

 

[Ian]

It's at 35% at the moment, and at less than 10k/s now

[V_R]

Ah yes.

17 seeds, 1446 leechers

 

[Ian]

It's shot up to 60k/s now, so might be done by morning

 

[Alf]

by the time you get done downloading, it game will already be out

New beta drivers are up on NZONE:

Only US though, not on the UK site yet. But UK people are using them and saying good things, Improvements all round, in this, Dirt, CSS etc.

Will try 'em.

Swiped from another forum, gotta be the best scoring game ever!

More DL links...

http://www.gamershell.com/download_20697.shtml - Best speeds yet. Getting 350+kb/s. Not maxed my connection but better than the 50-80kb/s before! EDIT: Now maxing out and almost done! YAY!

[Ian]

2% left to go for me

 

[V_R]

Still going! I gave up on the original one i had, was too slow, got it from Gamershell just after midnight, that was way faster.

 

[Ian]

Good news : I don't have an X800 after all, it's an X850...

Bad news : It doesn't make any difference, it still won't run without SM3 (I get an almost black screen, and only see fire in game).

I'm just going to wait a couple of weeks and think about an upgrade

 

[V_R]

Thats a shame Ian.

What about the X1300?

Gonna install mine in a bit, but i better eat first, or i may not at all!

 

[Ian]

I've not tried it in yet, mainly as I think I'm going to take the plunge and upgrade sometime in the next few weeks. I've got a P4 3.4Ghz at the moment, which is really lagging behind some of the new C2D's, so I could do with a re-fit
