Software distribution disk Can we have it

Both ways you have to pay... so why bother leaving the house

as they says old active players wont has to pay for a ARR copy they must shipped toy our in-game Acc address as yoshi says also email you your code to download pre-launch

No need to inconvenience SE just because some of us are still on dialup.

Fortunately I just upgraded to Verizon's premier new 300mb/sec.

Unfortunately with everyone bombarding the server at once, it's not going to be distributed at any speed near that.

I'm willing to bet that the best speeds people are going to get are around 300k/sec on launch day. Fortunately those with legacy will already have most if it and will be seeding while they download the small patch on launch day, helping make it faster for those that have to download it all.

Most ISPs place a cap on the amount of data that can be downloaded per month with harsh penalties for going over the cap.

Most? Not in the US, unless you're using satellite or something.All the major carriers I know of just charge a flat monthly rate for unlimited use. I realize in other parts of the world some ISPs aren't so "generous," but I'd reccomend trying to find another ISP- this is the modern world and multi-gigabyte downloads are becoming increasingly more common- You can't charge by the megabyte for non-mobile without alienating your customer base unless the limits are really high. Maybe they're trying to limit illegal activity or something, I don't know, but when you're preventing your customers from engaging in perfectly legitimate uses of the internet, you're doing something wrong.

I want mine in floppy disks SE, please send them to me and I will send back the equivalent cost in postage stamps to you.

I've lived in 4 different countries over the past 6 years and had internet every time, not once have I heard of ISP's with caps UNLESS you are using your mobile phone provider (for example when people use 3g dongles that contain a sim card).

Download it there, copy it to USB.

Go home and copy that data to your PC.

Local Library computers are also the best place to get computer viruses! if you go this route I recommend scanning the files first before installing on your computer. I've yet to see a Library that had a PC that was within a decade and ran well. They are usually so full of crap they barely operate from people downloading stuff to them. :P

depends on how well your municipality funds public libraries. Not all of them are bad.

Not true -- read the fine print and you will see differently. Howevre, it IS a VERY high number ( i think like 200gigs)(at least for comcast it is) that unless you dowload asstons of movies you will never reach that amount. Look it up though because it is true.
