Hi ,

 I try to download Soda-off road demo but I need more than 6 hours!!

I wonder if anybody could sent me the demo by e-mail? That will be
faster?? I heard a lot of good comments about this game..

Thanks in advance

How exactly will this be faster? (scratching my head...) :-)

1) You have to expect that the SMTP/POP3 server will be a lot closer
than FTP/WWW sites containing the game (probably on the same network)
so no internet packet loss.

2) Undoubtedly less people will be using the server, and those that
are will be downloading mucho compressed text rather than already
compressed humungous files. Less load on server.

Hope that helps your head :)

Cheers!

Check with your service provider first........most have a limit on the size
of attachments, otherwise the mail server would become chock-a-block very
quickly!
