I know how alot of people say DSL sucks but I have Verizon DSL and I was able to download the FH files within in hour to tell you the truth(once I got out of the lines).

Thats a Guess I don't know anyone whos on 1.5 mb as its bloodly expensive. I have 750 k upgraded from 600k and I get a DL speed of about 70 - 85 kb/s which means I'll start it before I go to work.

I'm on 5Mbit and it's standard here.

5Mbit = +/- 600 kb/s ----------> 45 minutes

I'm gonna have to leave this badboy downloading overnight.Next week my broadnband is being updated to double the speed it is right now which is 526kbps DSL.Once Wanadoo update instead of getting a maximum speed of 40kbps i will get 80 kbps.This will probably only take 6 hours to download like mg42 said.However i need to wait till the 14th of September for the update to come through.If FH release before then i'm gonna have to do what i always do and leave it downloading for ages.

But maybe the FH-Devs could design a demo for FH, consistig of a map or two and all the required files. That could show people what this Mod is all about and wouldn´t force them to download 1.7 GB just to find out they dont like it...

Best idea I've heard about this "issue" yet!

Where there is a will, there is a way. If the size is too big for your machine, order the DVD, go to a friend's, download all night, sumptin...

Well I've just got Azureus sorted (hadn't forwarded the port correctly in the router) and am downloading Galactic Conquest Mod at the moment as a test...
So I guess I'm ready when FH is released then and I would recommend this method to everyone else as it'll resume and was easy to setup.

I say you leave it alone however big it is. the mod is awesome because of all the vehicles weapons and maps they put into it guys so quit compaining about what the guys at FH are doing "wrong" and be happy that there making us a mod in the first place.
