Bittorrent

A manual media download / bittorrent would be nice, but would require a fair bit of jiggery-pokery that we don't have the bandwidth (haha) for right now. When we get a breather we'll look into it. Using p2p would certainly be pleasant for our (not insubstantial) bandwidth bills.

I agree with Sugarpie's suggestion, it would be great ie. I download half the stuff now and I have to go, later I connect and download some new stuff, then tommor or something I download the final bits. That way, I can play the game in no time, but this way, since I have dial-up, and I sometimes really need the phone I need to stop at, like.... 80 percent. It sucks to download all the stuff again (which took like, an hour and a half or two houres). It really should be made easier downloading the patches.

Or ye could just make many, many small updates. (Like the 18kb update a few days ago, just not that small(maybe in the range of 100-200kb)) I now this sounds small, but for those with dial-up connection, coupled with lag.... that would take a longer time then some would like...

Just me 2 poe.
