herr_oberst Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Huzzah... DEMO downloaded... Several weeks ago, the wife: "So if we upgrade to Verizon FIOS, what plan should we get?" "Maximum DL speed... you and I both work from home via VPN (and a fast-ass DL for the CMBN DEMO/Release won't hurt at all either)" Oh, did I say that out loud? DEMO downloaded, 11:56pm, 5/12/2011. Awesome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrap Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Might want to have her install it - right now downloads from the English link are corrupted. The German one seems to ge good though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guachi Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Indeed, the English link is broken. Unfortunate as it downloaded 4x faster than the German link for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodkin Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 German link says I'm slowly downloading 571mb is that right? The demo page says it should be 598. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcents Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Only link I've heard of being defective is the US link. German link should supply the correct goods and it does weigh in at 571 megs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldaros Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Indeed, the English link is broken. Unfortunate as it downloaded 4x faster than the German link for me. The US mirror from Worthplaying is working for me; downloading at 533 KB/sec. I assume that's the English mirror you're referring to? Oh, I see, the size is wrong. Damnit. And apparently the German link is now full, because it's hanging for me right now. *sigh* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm hours away from download being completed via Germany. Chris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started at a decent .5 Mb/sec and now I'm chugging along at .15. Bets that they'll get the U.S. site fixed soon and/or there will be more mirrors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've left the English one going, but it only shows a file size of 365 MB. I'll let it finish at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyO Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 German link is SO S...L...O...W... to the US. 13% finished and 1-1/2 hours left on high speed capable with a super-fast computer. 50-100k per second!.
