gibsonm Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Has the rush settled enough that we can get an idea of the number of demo downloads that took place in the first 24hrs? Given the delays experienced despite the degree of preparation I presume demand far outstripped the forecasts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwazydog Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 We cant give numbers guys as Charles and Steve arent available at the moment, but I think its fine to say that the demo have been downloaded many many thousands of times.

Chad Harrison Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Gamershall.de shows it being DL over 500 times!, but I think the majority were from BFC, despite how slow it was with 9000+ people trying to DL at the same time. Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryddle Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 I think an interesting stat might be who was the refresh-monkey who bogged the system down too much. Hits per second or something. -r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanSorry, I appreciate that the exact numbers are "commercial in confidence" but "twice / ten times / whatever more than we planned"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Panzer Boxb Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Well, if the BTS/BFC crew don't mind I can post stats from my mirrors. Maybe...if they haven't crashed from all the hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Harrison Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Also seems like the demo and release of CMBB soon has brought a lot of quiet people out of the woodworks on the board. I would say that it was donwloaded atlest as many times as there are members here, so about 8000-10000 times. I DL it twice, once in German and once in English.
