Notable threadStruggling to download the GTR2002 mod

Days after release, users struggled with dead or overloaded mirrors for the 265 MB GTR2002 mod. Others shared it on Kazaa and eDonkey and posted working RSC, Boomtown and FilePlanet links. Nick compared the demand to Quake shareware's 1996 release.

Yep same reason I have avoided it myself. The one link I got to work was gonna take my 75 hours to d/l and I'm on cable. I'm sure its great, but I can wait till the fuss has settled down before getting it. MadDAWG

I d/l it really quickly and then placed it in my ICQ Shared Folders for mates to take as and when they wanted. It would be easy to get it to everyone quickly with a little thought.... I also split it into 28 parts of 10mb each for the 56k mates.... So the broadbanders took the 280mb one piece file and the 56kers the parts. If only others would help others...

I'm sharing it on Kazaa (Cable). There's quite a few others who now have it on kazaa as well. If we can get 20-30 people with broadband sharing it on Kazaa, then hopefully it might start a chain re-action if each new downloader returns the favour and shares it after downloading Tim "Aidee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:asg199$hbr$[email hidden]...

You both are using GetRight and are having problems. I didn't use GetRight and it downloaded completely and quickly.

You'll have to literally follow the English instructions posted on the RSC forum because it's highly unlikely you'll figure out what to fill in where on the site. It has a download system similar to FilePlanet, i.e. your dowload is queued and you might have to wait a while for it to start. I think their paying users get to jump the queues because the countdown went up again a couple of times. Anyhow... after about 20 minutes of this the download finally started and was very quick (270KB/s, I'm on cable). Get a move on man... you're missing out big time! ;-) Jan. =---

Honestly, don't give up. There hasn't been a Must-Download file on the internet of this magnitude since Quake shareware 0.93 on 22nd June '96.

yes, but on my 56k using getright is the only way to start the thing and finish it when i get my DSL which should be in the coming week, I know it is useless to get 3 megs on my 56k, but at least i have the feeling the DL is "started".... -- The first ever pinball ezboard !! http://pub7.ezboard.com/bpinball SYS80 : BLK HOLE - HNTD HSE - SPRIT - VOLCNO - PNK PNTHER - DEVLS DARE - RYL FLSH DLX - SPDERMAN - CHRLIE'S NGELS - TX SCTOR - MRS GOW BALLY : XENN - EGHT BLL - EGHT BLL CHMP - PCMN - SPKEASY 4 - STRKES N SPRES - SPCE INVDERS - FTRE SPA - LADY LCK - PRAGON WILLIAMS : BLCKOUT - CNTACT "Nick" <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message de news: asg452$qtto2$[email hidden]... > "c5d" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:59MG9.368$[email hidden]... > > "Txl" <txl AT free.fr> wrote in message > > news:3deb8d5f$0$20687$[email hidden]... > > > not working, I get a 445 bytes files using getright... > > All the www.filemirrors.com, etc, etc come up with dead links or downloads > > 0.2k with getright. > > You both are using GetRight and are having problems.

I don't think the people who downloaded one will naturally download the other. I can't see too many Quake heads getting all excited about GTR2002, but these two files are the only two which I got as soon as I could, ever.
