I've been steadily downloading the pre-load since 5.30 am. it's not 8.20 and I'm just over half-way through. I've got a 750Kbs bband connection, so that'll give you an idea as to how long it'll take and how big it is. I've been averaging around 90KBs.... Big.

Mark, Far be it for *me* to lecture anyone on newsgroup etiquette but we already have enough 'release date for half-life2' and 'preload' threads. Just try to keep them together and not start new threads pretty please.

You mean I shouldn't post half-hourly updates under new headers? Oh ok then.

My connection is five megabits. I never even consider the size of files when I download them. >> I've been steadily downloading the pre-load since 5.30 am. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > My connection is five megabits.

I believe mine is even bigger, but it takes longer to get it up. Who on earth brought up the subject of flags anyway? Tim Sampson proclaimed... > His one is bigger than your one, of course. I wonder if he's compensating for something? I have a 1.5mbit connection to make up for my impossibly small penis.

Boy that's fast, I bet you must work very hard in order to pay for it! /rolls eyes Signature"You're as much use as a cock-flavored lollypop." > I've been steadily downloading the pre-load since 5.30 am. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Big.
