Re: Open Beta 1st half of August ? ? ?
"Size. Don't know at this stage."
I think a better response to this would have been"big", considering BF2 came on 4 CDs Boy am I glad to have a DVD reader.

Re: Open Beta 1st half of August ? ? ?
I wonder if they will use BitTorrent, if they don't their servers will get ridiculously slow.

Re: Open Beta 1st half of August ? ? ?
Remember when Microsoft released the Vista beta for download, their servers were struggling on that because they refused to use BitTorrent. This isn't quite on the same scale, but there are going to be a LOT of people downloading it at the same time, not sure how their servers will hold up.

Re: Open Beta 1st half of August ? ? ?
If it's a http download, you will need a program like Flashget which can resume downloads, as long as the server supports it.
FTP, can't remember if it supposts resume, but if there's an ftp option there'll probably be a http options as well. BitTorrent, resuming is basically built in.

Re: Open Beta 1st half of August ? ? ?
I was just looking at fileplanet, its $6.95 for one month
I dont want to be frustrated downloading the open beta, when it comes out I'm just gonna want to play asap from my understanding fileplanet is fast and allows resuming of dowloads for me that is worth a one off $6.95 (£3.72=Big Mac meal*) so if someone has fileplanet membership, does fileplanet have resume of downloads feature? * I'm vegetarian, I dont actually eat big Mac's, I just chose that as something people can relate money to worldwide

Resume Downloads - Loose connection and lost your download? Never fear! The Download Manager can resume file transfers! Just click the "retry" button on a disconnected download and resume your place immediately. That is for their download manager, it probably works for any download manager, but you may as well use theirs anyway. EDIT: Just found this: http://www.fileplanet.com/help/queue.shtml Can I resume downloads with a download manager? Yes. But you will need to resume your download within 24 hours of starting it or you'll have to wait in line again. So you can use any download manager

Re: Open Beta 1st half of August ? ? ?
Thankyou Lorian, I knew you would come up trumps,
I've decided to go for fileplanet, at the small one off cost, it will deliver the open beta to me quickly and with the least fuss. EDIT I just clicked add to Lorian rep and got...... You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Lorian again. I wondered why i kept seeing this phrase on the forums
