Not to get into another "I'll preorder if.." thread, how large will the Gold Demo be?

[Guest Ol' Blood & Guts]

So, the Beta Demo was ~15 MB, how large of a download is the Gold Demo gonna be? ~30-50 MB? Just curious.

No, I don't have a cable modem, got the good ol' 56K deal. If I'm lucky I can get a 4.X Kb/sec transfer rate. We don't have cable modem access capabilty here in this area yet, I don't think.

I just downloaded the new Diablo II intro movie at just shy of 70 MB, took a series of "restarts" with Get-Right. Boy what a waste! Movie's so dark you can't hardly see it. I deleted that puppy and its zip file as soon as I watched it. Off-topic a bit but relevant to my point.

I can handle downloads within the 30-60MB range pretty well, but anything over that is a bit much.

Lol I downloaded the Diablo movie too and I agree - what crap - what the hell were they thinking err or smoking

The game looks like it will be really kool why the hell the GAME DEMO had nothing in it that resembled the game is beyond me - are they making a game or trying for an oscar?

Yes, apparently Blizzard's FINALLY got the Beta going. I still believe they're looking at a Summer release for DII

Man I love seein' that 175-212 Kb/sec go past my browser. If you CAN get cable modem, (even for the extra cost) it's worth it. 50-70 MB forgetabodit!! multiple attempts (passe) [God I hated downloading a chunk coming back to hve 98% complete and get transmission/line error.

Steve already answered that in the "I'll preorder if.." thread. He said it will be a bit larger. Now my question is "Will that 'bit' be a one or a zero?"
