[Someone]

Damn now that's the definition of persistence!

Although you could have bought that DVD from that guy in another thread

 

[AcousticToad]

And what is your final pre-load size? Just making sure because im hearing conflicting views on filesize with different connections...

 

[SenenCito]

And what is your final pre-load size? Just making sure because im hearing conflicting views on filesize with different connections...

well it showed 100% and complete, so im hoping that is the final for the moment at least. I just hope I don't have too much to download once the game is released, would suck to wait another three weeks to start playing

 

[House]

Awesome, now you have to wait another 3 weeks to download CS:Source.

 

[Briderider]

wow that's hardcore

 

[skipper]

just hope you didnt have to pay by the minute for the phone bill hehe

 

[SenenCito]

Awesome, now you have to wait another 3 weeks to download CS:Source.

ja! no problem, I don't care about playing that one :E

[Ken5h1ro]

Wow man!...
Congrats!....
Now I suggest you to do a backup of the whole thing on a handful of 3.5" 1.44Mb floppy disks.... you'll need only 1,764 of them. :E :imu: :rolling:

 

[Democritus]

Holy crap. Email Valve your story and see if they'll give you a free hat or something.

 

[trantjd]

naah im a pussy for that, can't we just share spit?

Man, get a room! :E That stuff should be reserved for PMs!

 

[Edcrab]

Dude, you are now the living god of the Dialup Cult.

Tark about commitment; I go mad downloading 200 megs, never mind more than ten times that

 

[Kouler]

I preloaded the first few preloads on 48k, before i got my ADSL early September

EDIT: Oh and yeah get CS:S, its awesome. Lags less than CS 1.6

 

[MiccyNarc]

....and when HL2 is finally released, you get to find out how corrupted all the files are!

[zer0kewl]

downloading it from 56k would cost to much probaly and a cable provider would be cheaper is't ?

I had it, but I moved recently and ive been having problems getting DSL back up, been 9 months without DSL now

 

[kaellinn18]

Doh, sucks man. Looks like you got another big preload.

 

[ACROW_LEFT]

if we're getting maps now, what more is there to preload?

 

[zex]

I didn't know anyone still had 56k :x

 

[Ownzed]

I didn't know anyone still had 56k :x

That's what I thought.

 

[Asuka]

Oh man. I remember when my friend had 56k was a nightmare. I myself have always had cable. Anyone, nice that you have finished the preload. Im 97.6% done for todays to be finished.

 

[SenenCito]

That's what I thought.

There are still a few of us poor suffering souls wandering across the bowels of hell suffering the pain that is a maximun of 5.5k download


oh yea and I live in Puerto rico too

 

[Newton]

I think you should ride that 56k wave until it's over, Just think about how far you've already come.

If you get the rest from someone else on a disk that'd be like catching a ride when you were almost at the finishline in a race. I mean even if you come in last I think yo should finish under your own Steam
