    I downloaded the torrents and set it to download this morning.  Not sure how well it is doing until I get home later tonight.  I agree the 9 parts thing is pretty stupid.  Doesn't give me a lot of confidence.  Hopefully the game will be worth the annoyance.

    Not sure what your experience level is with downloading files off of the internet but allow me to attempt to explain to you why downloading smaller files is better than downloading 1 huge file.



    The internet is an imperfect technology.  You can have the fastest connection and as far as you can see on your end it is always 100% active.  The way things work is much like a spider web.  Between your home computer and any remote computer there can be a couple to a great many other computers.  Sometimes one of those intermittent "hops" fails... a tech accidentally trips over a cord, hardware fails, any number of things can and do go wrong.  Now your connection on your side appears to stay completely connected but sometimes the path is diverted due to these issues.  Now, information that was coming across one path gets broken up as you are forced to move to an alternate path.  This can cause something known as CRC errors etc.



    Now, let's say you download a 2 or 3 gb file, you go to open it and its corrupted.  Now you get to download that 2 or 3 gig file again, and again, and again until it comes through complete.  However by breaking the file into smaller parts means that if one of those files is broken you have a much smaller chunk to download again.  God forbid someone try to make things easier for some of you people.  Part of me is saying that if they had only put 1 big file up for you to download you would be whining about that as well.

    wow.. your an ass. For one thing. i have a very fast connection. So id much prefer One large file that i could download quickly form multiple Sources Rather than try to get this game from a million different people in a million different ways because as i have noticed even the Official links are rather retarded. they fail using accelerators and even with out the accelerator it dies on the 96% line. and I'm not very fond of Trying to download 1/9 parts 3 hours at a time (Official link time in) Thats just stupid and in my opinion not worth it...  I am however going to try to torrent it to see if i have any better luck than with the FTP transfer. (i hate Torrenting but they leave very little choice)





    And please Watch your big ass ego...



    Not Everyone is Inferior to you.

    Don't Try to teach me anything

    for one i already know how the internet works. And on another note It was completely off topic

    i was fuming about the download and in there i was asking  if anyone had a compiled EXE i could download.



    Please don't bother replying.

    i would like help.

    not to be shot down.



    unlike some.. (cough)

    i don't have to make people look stupid to make myself look smart.





    Again if anyone has a compiled Client they would like to Share. Please do

    Yeah that guy is a jerk.  I would have liked one large file as well.  I've downloaded 1GB+ files many times without problems.
  • Darkz0rDarkz0r Member Posts: 78
    Well honestly, if you have such a high speed connection it matters not if you are downloading a single file from a single source or multiple files at the same time. -_-



    Im almost done with the client, left 3 torrents up, went out and stuff, got home the next day...done. Put up 3 more, at night they were done s well.

    So uh, just start downloading everything at the same time and do something else.



    The only thing that I do agree is that they COULD make we click less times...1 file = 1/9 the clicking we need to do now.

    But eh, if you are that lazy you really should not be in the CB



    But as explained, they split up the file for a reason.
  • aZn-XaZn-X Member Posts: 17
    so you made this thread to rant about how big the game file is?  quit bitching, u either dl and enjoy the game or just leave it alone. dere are reasons for why its 2.5gb big. i know! u can play runescape! its fast and easy! u can direct download the parts from GE's offical website. since u have FAST connections, u can finish it in no time

    Well anastaia... that guy isnt the nicest guy around but hes got a point with the CRC error, I really dont mind them putting into 9 different parts its not that big of a deal for me... just finish one download and then i go to another.... i dont see whats the big issue here unless someone is extremely lazy to click download a few times.



    So far i dont see anyone compiling it all into one file yet 
  • GroggGrogg Member UncommonPosts: 41
    Hmm, I just ran all the torrents at once and went right on with what I was doing. Especially since the servers weren't even open yet.



    Took about 1 1/2 hours to get the entire thing.

    Here is a question for anyone that has downloaded the game using the torrent files.  it says it has 9 parts but on this list 5 and 6 appear to be missing.

  • Sephiroth28Sephiroth28 Member Posts: 25
    Right up at the top of that page you gave a link for it has 2 other addresses where you can get the other 2 parts.



    Or try http://www.mininova.org/tor/576520 for part 5

    http://www.mininova.org/tor/576521 for part 6

    Be happy guys that we got into the closed beta.  Who cares if there are 9 parts to download.  You can play the game thats the important factor of it.  Also its a closed beta guys so if you have a problem with something about the game just report it to them.
