It seems I now have to wait out a DR style download rush before I can try Coldstone out. I forgot to start the d/l last night, and all my attempts tonight are ending at about 1 MB and macgamefiles absolutely refuses to load.
:frown:
Actually, the point of this topic is to ask if anyone else stuck in a similar situation, or if my ISP is attempting to earn a new, worse nickname.

I was lucky enough to get it first time with no interrupts. 37k transfer rate, I think.

I got it before the rush, hehe, I was prolly one of the first to get it.

------------------ Greetings, all-powerful archmage! Finally, you have done it again, as it should have been so many years ago, the archmage powerful enough to gain possession of the ultimate spell. Armageddon is a powerful and frightening spell, as devastating to yourself as to mankind. You will no longer be eligible to receive protection from the council. From now on, you are on your own. Good luck, and may your powers be with you. **
Try downloading it from (url="http://"http://www.macgamefiles.com/detail.taf?item=17038")Mac Game Files(/url). I was getting 100k/s on my cable modem when I tested it a minute ago.

I'd no trouble downloading it the first time on my dial-up connection... and I don't think I was the first, 2nd, 3rd or fourth... etc... Hope you who can't, do get it soon. Cheers, Rafta
------------------ ..set.. all the way
I also have been getting bumped at right around 1mb! DOH!
I am getting ready to look up Ambrosia in the phone book and walk over during lunch! (I work in BEAUTIFUL downtown Rochester NY.) Maybe I can get it that way! Certainly would be faster! (Though MUCH colder.)
Oh wait. I missed lunch. Too busy to eat.
maybe Andrew or someone will deliver??? It's only a couple blocks...you don't even have to cross the River.
I was one of the first to download it. In fact I downloaded it no less than 4 times before it was completely uploaded. (Beat that!)

Just do what I am going to do, buy the CD. The PoG demo was enough to convince me to purchase Coldstone.

Lol. I can't imagine andrew shifting his butt for anything short of the promise of a leg waxing session in a hummer while drinking home brew....

ViaHTTP is telling me that the server doesn't accept resuming, which is a bummer because I have all but a few megs downloaded. Is this the case, or is it just too busy?

"Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be so eager to deal out death in judgement."
Whew, got the demo night before last around 1 AM. Purchased it today.
Hehe, first try, 60kbs, 5 minutes.
My cable provider may be slow, but it's very reliable.

Wow I must have got it like a few hours after it came out I downloaded it at at least 45k per second because thats what it said.
