    .ISO or not, you are still going to have to install the latest patch after a fresh install which in a few years might as well be a fresh download.

    I just have one request in regards to the setup-

    Please do not go the TERA route and have the setup client automatically choose a directory for you.

    I tried installing TERA the other day and after the download finished I realised that it defaulted/automatically installed it on my localdisk which is a small SSD.. I am sure I am not the only one in this case...

    So please don't make this small mistake.

    I understand the OPs concerns. Most ISPs place a cap on the amount of data that can be downloaded per month with harsh penalties for going over the cap. So the more you can physically load the lighter the hit on your cap limit. Having said that it is unrealistic to expect SE to provide separate discs to those who purchased copies of version 1.0. At best they might supply us with a discount code to purchase a retail copy. I do not expect it though as there has been no mention of it prior to this. If you are worried about a cap hit just buy the basic retail version. Cost would be less then what most ISPs charge for overages.

    True, it wouldn't be an issue if the ISPs kept up with increase in demand. Most don't even offer an unlimited plan anymore. (As I understand it, one reason why they don't is due to the bandwith demands of tablets.) When the technology does improve, it either costs the same, or it costs more. When did we as a society decide to abandon the idea of better, faster, cheaper?

    Buy a 16GB USB stick.

    Go to your local Library/University/Place with highspeed connection.

    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.

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