Wallybob Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 I am doomed to be a monkey of unsuccessful refreshing until BFC picks up some more mirror sites for the demo. Aarrgghh. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George-III Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 I second this. Both links return errors for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barticus Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 It's just because the server is so busy guys, I had to refresh a bunch of times before the download worked........at a whopping 5.5 kb/sec.

jrcar Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 same here, and I'm on 56k so I have a long download ahead at this rate (none). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFC hates us Canucks, I tell ya BDoesn' t hate me, just a strong distaste at 10KB/sec. Mind you that is after 2 hours at 2KB/sec-4KB/sec. So I earned it.

Wallybob Posted September 1, 2002 Author Share Posted September 1, 2002 I understand the issue, I just don't like it. More mirrors would keep me from being a headline in tomorrows papers about the guy who kills his wife and cats with a computer keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 I've been downloading since shortly after the demo link was posted. But it's going painfully slow, 6.1K a sec., over 40 minutes to go still. Uggh. I should also note that I'm on a cable modem. Thus my considering 6.1K slow.

GriffinCheng+ Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 No, both links does not work! Hey, they should start mirroring some 3rd parties sites and I asked before. Too bad they did not do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchy Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Can't download - get message: Cannot find server or DNS Error Internet Explorer. I'll come back in a few days and try again. Maybe I can download at a higher rate for DSL that 4 to 6K as I was before. Just can't wait 4 hours at that speed. Had to cancel download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 We are looking into this issue. I think it maybe something on our server hosts side, not the server themseleves as both the BFC and CMHQ servers are reporting the same thing which is VERY odd.

Kwazydog Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Hi Guys, I just wanted to check that you guys are aware Matt added a link to the CMHQ download site? I just tested it and I can get 100k+ all the way down in Australia. I could have download the whole thing in 10 mins if I let it go, which isnt too bad .

Wallybob Posted September 1, 2002 Author Share Posted September 1, 2002 All I gots is BFC and CMHQ. If there is another site PLEASE let us know it's URL! I will brew beer for you if you can do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 The German demo downloads at 170 KB/sec for me (to the US). So brush up your German and get going at http://www.gamershall.de/bilder/CM2DemoGER.exe Edit: only until it aborts at 42 MB (of 61, the German demo is bigger, must be the license file).

Kwazydog Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 When I tried the CMHQ link I was getting 100 odd k Griffin, but I am on cable Guys, Im sure more mirrors will come, but they will take a little time to organise.

gibsonm Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Don't know if something just got tweked (or perhaps some have given up - due to the time) but my download here in Aus has just gone from 4 - 5 Kbs to 25 Kbs. I'm getting the Mac version so maybe that server isn't as busy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering if I should call off a date... Anyway, "I have told you so!". You good people should plan more mirrors from the start. That reminds me of CS & DoD...

Claymore Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Hooked up at home on my 56K modem at 7pm PST...the indicated 16hour d/l time was far too long to wait. So. Off to work, where a huge pipe exists! W00T! Only to find a miserable 2KB/s and 5KB/s rate on the mirror and BFC sites, respectively. The German version d/l'd in approx 5 min. 3 hours till the English jobby finishes. Cheers MRD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
