How long did the D2D download for full retail take?  That is an option correct?









































(I had to change the post title from "D2D Download" because it was getting almost no views )

    Awesome. :)  I have been a member for a while, but this is my first post.  Simply because you got me with the WoW thing. Touche'

    **Edit** And I'm only playing WoW cause my brother is paying for it so I'll play.  (I don't like the game)

    Full client is about 17GB and with my uber 1/512 connection downloading it took a couple of days :D Should be alot faster with decent connection



    Nice title btw... I was expecting a flame war in here

    I have a great cable connection and it took me somewhere around 3 hours or so to download the beta, but I didn't get it from D2D.

    BTW, the topic is wrong.  The best game ever is the one that I'm currently playing.

    Yes, sorry about the title, it was a cheap tactic on my part, but under the other, more boring title no one was stopping by... 



    When I use "D2D" i'm just abbreviating Direct to Drive, not necessarily talking about any specific commercial vendor.  I don't currently have a DVD-ROM drive for my comp...  running an ancient Dell Dimension 8200 with somewhat revamped insides and I've been debating going the direct download route or just buying an external DVD-ROM drive off newegg.

    What video card in there?  A lot of the Dells don't ship with adequate ones for this.

    Sly boots...my brother plays this now. It's about 17gb to download and it took a decent amount of time.

    When it first came up (during open beta) it said it would take about 4 hours (and I have a fast cable connection)

    Took me about a day to download, cause it would d/c spontaneously, usually right after I stopped monitoring it.... so with 3 false starts, it finally got installed.

    My friend tried D2D with DSL (512 down I think).  It took an overnight attempt and unfortunately, his download file was bugged.  He tried again, and it was bugged once more.  So he gave up and ordered through EBgames.

    I don't even remember what the original card was.  I upgraded to a GeForce 6600 when I started playing EQ2.  I'm currently upgrading to the GeForce 7800 GS as it's the best I can do as I'm limited to AGP for the time being...  until I either get a new rig or change out the motherboard...  Neither of those options is all that appealing...  A new motherboard could mean a new processor and cheaper upgrades though, but after the 7800GS gets here, I really won't be able to upgrade the system with the current motherboard anymore.

    A 7800GS wont be too bad.  I'll repost the settings that I use to run on my 7800 and have it not look ugly too. 



    It is in this thread from this point down: (+screenshots of how it looks with those settings)
