WOOHOO!

Post by tizubythefizo »

Wow, that was rough! but I'm finally downloading the game as I type.

See my post about "IMPORTANT me, us army, where i'm stationed" as it's sort of a prequel to this post.

I had to run my IP through a proxy based in the U.S.(9.99 through megaproxy) and that would take me as far as the confirming my bank screen. I was clueless as here it would stop, and do nothing. I had to go do our morning PT session,just got back and messed around with the settings on megaproxy, had to block javascript and now finally I can download. I'm all ge-giggity in my ge-flavvity


p.s. my download speed is about 230Kbs, and is going to take about 2 hours, mwa ha ha I'll be playing by lunch(it's 0830 where I'm at right now)
"Is that guy aiming a mortar tube at us?".....*BOOM*...."We should probably shoot at him"

2 hrs? You lucky dog. I have a 51.2Kbs DSL connection and started downloading at 9:15 last night and expected to have it ready to install this morning but for some reason (I'm assuming time-sharing with the rest of you that are downloading [:@]) I'm only getting around 29Kbs and it's been going for 13 hrs and it says still 6 to go [:(]...
I had the day off too. I should have been fragging aliens by now. I've waited years for this (X-com just may be my favorite game of all time) so a few more hours shouldn't kill me [:'(]
whimper, whimper, whimper....[:(]
Oh well, a few more Black Butte Porters should get me through the afternoon...
