I'm feeling a little bored thanks to too much studying...
So, I have to take a break and think of something else.
What's the largest d/l you've ever made?

eerrrr · « **Reply #1 on:** 2001-06-24 17:38:00 »

Um, I think my biggest was an update for Quake 2. It was nearly 30 MB I think, and I have a 33.6K connection. I've downloaded other large stuff too like FF fan movies and stuff.

The Badurs Gate 2 Demo. It was 650 megs split into a load of 100 meg sections. But the biggest ever single download was 263 megs. It is an Asf file of the show "Microsfot extreme". It showed a lot of Windows XP and Office XP(Windows XP achally looks brilliant!) and then at the end some of the X-Box in action

I think it doesn't really matter how big the file(s) was/were, I think more important is which connection you have. I've got one of this laming 56K connections, so I can't allow me to download 650 MB files (oh my god, hours of downloading)

As for the question: I think my biggest download was about 50 megs...it was an app, but I can't remember which...

The Pamela Andersen and Tommy Lee video! It was worth it, though!

Just kidding!

EDIT:
Seriously, though, I have a cable modem, so I hardly look at size anymore. With my old 56k, I think it would have to be the King's Quest: Mask of Eternity demo, about 100-200 megabytes. My cousins were coming over that day, and I remember my mom was getting really PO'ed.

Biggest thing I've downloaded, Killer Instinct 2 Arcade Hard drive, it was big(over 100MB), but that was over DSL, so it didn't take too long.

Biggest download back when I was on 56k(over AOL of all things), was the Quake3 demo(50meg). Hours.

Well.... 4 me it would be a 19.9 MB download....

Working for an ISP, I can D/L 640MB in about 45 seconds. The largest thing I've D/Led modem-wise was a naughty live action video done by Yuko Miyamura (The voice of Asuka in Evangelion) before she was a voice actor. I think that weighs in at about 200 Meg.

The Skillster · « **Reply #10 on:** 2001-06-26 16:17:00 »

in my old 33k modem days it was BeOS5 at 33mb and zelda64 at about 40mb, also Euro2000 demo at 44mb.
with my 112kps its stuff like 70-80mb, like transformers episodes (DivX70mb), soundfonts (fluid 80mb), Roms (GmotW neo geo ,50mb,)
but thats about it, if i ever see something BIG and with clean access, then yea if its good ill go for it.

Last week I downloaded all four ISO's of Redhat Linux 7.1. Totals about 2GB. 2Mb/s Cable is great =)

I remember when I downloaded Mandrake 7.0 ISO over 28.8 tho. Took a Really long time.

Jedimark · « **Reply #12 on:** 2001-06-26 19:11:00 »

I downloaded Pearl Harbour a few weeks ago which was good 600 meg... but I used Get Right to resume my downloads.... does that count?

eerrrr · « **Reply #13 on:** 2001-06-26 21:20:00 »

Well if it doesnt I'm otry Download Accelerator. It actually works! I thought it would just be another download program but it makes my d/l go at 3.1 kb/s most of the time, and sometime up to 5 kb/s on my 33.6K. It's definately worth it.

Eh, back when I was on dialup, I was pretty crazy and downloaded a linux iso or two every once in a while. Got 7 in total. I like, never really used them though

0_0 How could you even stomach saying that?!?! that would take me a few months.

Jedimark · « **Reply #21 on:** 2001-07-14 01:27:00 »

It would be interesting to do this topic in 10 years time and compare them..... it will probably be somet like.... "oh yeah i downloaded 42 gig the other night"!!!!!

...And in a hundred years:

"I Downloaded the Whole internet. But with my slow connenction it took a whole five hours!"

Jedimark · « **Reply #23 on:** 2001-07-14 13:51:00 »

Heh heh heh..... I wonder if all we would see will be pages that are 84meg in size or something so it takes equaly long to download them!!!
