Vikings

CyberGhost

downloading at 45kB/s

try again, servers must be full

Vikings

Servers 1 and 2 are full and 3 isnt doing anything.

dloob

all the servers are full :mad:
Unless you want to join gamespot complete

Jim

Muhaha, 21%.
Mirrors should be up in a bit.

Chalk

is it ok to post torrent links to the demo, when they appear?

Vikings

www.download.com has it aswell apparently.

Jim

Yep, its a free download, hence legal.
Gopher it.

Winters

Lovely 42% done so far

We shall be searcing for mirrors as soon as possible. You shall need to give it an hour or two before there are many out there. Hopefully it shall be out on torrent quite soon. Torrent would have made this a lot easier for more people to download.

Stokolan

82% down so far

The Gamershell link doesn't seem to be working for me and the torrent is going pretty slow. Oh well, at least I'll probably get to play BF2 sometime this weekend

'nother torrent

Anima

Yeah dosen't work for me either, I'd say its getting hammered with downloads right now.

Winters

Theres more and more links on irc if you jump into #tig.ie on quakenet

CuLT

Irish Gamershell link works, I'm getting full tilt; just wait for the link to go through.

Poz3D

The torrent seems to be getting better now. I'm getting around 60kB/s on it.

CyberGhost

hey guys, try the third link

I cancelled the download(was downloading from the 2nd), and switched to third, downloaded at steady 215kB/s from beginning to the end!

cregser

I'd say your best bet is BitTorrent. It was designed for this kinda stuff - EVERYBODY getting the same thing at once. But a 560mb download....... ah alright!

EDIT: But it doesn't work when everyone is using a differenet torrent. Here's another one!

Poz3D

I agree. Once a few people finish downloading and start seeding the torrent, it'll start going really fast.

Winters

Mmm .. Fantastic Game. Just played it on single player there

Vikings

i need a nice fast download, only got 60mb from ea's ftp.

Im getting really bad rates off Bittorrent and EA's FTP...

Winters

I got full speed off Gamespot #1.

The EA ftp is very slow which is very annoying as it has the server mirrors so we have been unable to setup a server yet

Fileplanet Subscribers thing, it's a closed beta. Course if you are a subscriber (The only reason I'm one is because I managed to get a free life-time account! Mwahahahaha, well a good few years account free anyway..) they've re-opened the beta. Just sign-up to it and you'll get your key. 400mb download I think
