So I decided to go to singularity to test the new content, which I was very sceptical about. Started the 1.4 GB download but disconnected after 400 MB. When I restarted, the clever Download manager didn't manage anything: I restarted from scratch. I don't have unlimited download bandwith and such flawed design and service is unacceptable in 2009. Guess I will be putting on a very long skill for ApoGrind, just in case I don't log in for a very, very long time...
Yes! You can have my stuff! The first one to give me the author and historical importance of the following French Verse will get my fitted CNR :
"Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne, bercent mon coeur d'une langueur monotone".
Wow, that was fast!! RUZE win the CNR, congratulation!

"Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne, bercent mon coeur d'une langueur monotone".
ôChanson dÆautomneö (ôAutumn Songö) is a poem by Paul Verlaine, one of the best known in the French language. It is included in VerlaineÆs first collection, PoFmes Saturniens (1866)
The first and second lines of the poem (Les sanglots longs des violons de lÆautomne / Bercent mon c£ur dÆune langueur monotone.) were broadcast by the Allies over Radio Londres in 1944 as a code message to the French Resistance in preparation for D-Day. When the second line was broadcast over the radio waves, it signaled that the invasion was to come in 24 hours.

Get a real internet connection... 1.4 gigabytes is only <10 minutes download. If yours isn't stable for that long time, ask for your money back.

That's actually going to be the more common standard. It's already coming to the US, which is a little behind on the power curve as far as internet usage and availability are concerned.
Many of our states don't even have affordable connections over 56k. Affordable, being less than $60 or $70 a month just for the connection. It's only a matter of time before we 'catch up' to the rest of the modern world, and provide both affordable, and regulated internet access.
It happens with every industry. The net is not new or different. It'll be a crying shame, though, especially for online gaming.

Yeah just another fine example of Fascist Liberal taxation and regulation policies. I like how you put "catch up" in quotes here. I would say it's quite regressive.

You have a limited download bandwidth per month from your craptastic ISP, yet the thing you choose to call a flawed design and service that is unacceptable in 2009, is downloads that dont resume when they get disconnected?
What is unacceptable in 2009, are ISP's that still dont have unlimited bandwidth and less than 4mb/s. THAT is flawed design and unacceptable service, if anything.

1 They have torrents for all expansions
2 They have a bits systemw which is pertty good resume support
3 neither of the said above is usually used with sisi as it adds unessecary bits and peices that barely effects game play.
4 most sisi'ers incrimint patches as they're available for download!
I recommend looking before jumping over a bush might wind up on the bottom of a cliff one day.
But not to be a total fox of myself you can try to use Free download manager from download.com that is a very good downloading manager

As we don't live on the coast of Australia but about 100km inland as the crow flies our infrastructure is at times poorer than a lot of 3rd world counties and as such we're driving 2hrs to our nearest internet cafe on patch day to download the patch.
It works out a hell of a lot faster and cheaper than downloading it from home.

The download package for sisi is a complete standalone install of the eve client for sisi. Which means that you won't have to download that much during m10 if you already have the eve premium client installed.
You are by no way forced to use the "download manager" included. There's a separate file you can download normally from the eve homepage and make the "download manager" install from that file instead. Which means that you could've downloaded that file "normally" or used any download manager with resume function to download it. Please pay attention to things before posting.
2 mins for that CNR, we had no chance

Australia in particular has Internet that is equal to that of a third world country thanks to our corrupt service providers who put zero effort into upgrading the arcanic systems they put in place decades ago and its taking it toll. We're forced to pay hundreds of dollars a month for limited bandwidth and ****ty unreliable service. If we had an actual choice in the matter we would of upgraded, not amount of whining or *****ing can change it due to the stupidity of our government allowing for a monopoly on the service provider market and left it that way for years before realizing what damage it did to the actual service. Hell using 56k over here is better value for money than using ADSL or Cable is. I pay 70 AUD a month for a fibre optic line that is probably equal to around T1 with horrid upload, its a decent speed but the problem is the horrible download limits that is 12 gb for the entire month 'on peak' (12 pm to 12 am) and 24 gb offpeak (12 am to 12pm). Share that amongst a house hold and you barely manage to not go over.

Also, the sisi download doesn't support torrents. The final TQ build can be downloaded as a torrent and therefore a higher probablility of success even if it does take a little longer.
Yes, the limited bandwidth is a PITA and even more annoying when downloads fail. You'd probably be better getting a friend to do it for you and save it to DVD or even a USB memory stick if you can't handle the torrent download.

Ive never heard of 'unlimited' bandwidth before, that must be one heck of a system they got. *Points out that there is nothing in the universe to mans knowledge that is unlimited* 
Seriously though, most people don't have 'unlimited' bandwidth as not everyone lives in the centre of an American city. Not trying to be nasty about it, but as an example I cant find a single UK internet provider that doesn't use a 'f.u.p.' (fair usage policy) that prevents large single downloads and going over an allotted amount of bandwidth per month.

Yeah all those gloating about their internutz connection, well not everyone has a choice now do they.
I get 95 gigs a month, upload included. with the 10mbit connection, that means I can download at full capacity for less than 1 day before I am over limit.
Sad part is that they have pretty much a monopoly since they own the cable lines... you could opt for DSL but its inferior. Even sadder is they even have the balls to increase their rates, now paying $70.
I blame the Canadian government for not allowing foreign competition, because it might hurt the profittttts.

Most of the states' communications infrastructure was built back in the 1980s the three companies that did it back then went backrupt doing so sadly. today companies are buying rights to the fiber optic network and rapidly expanding opon the old network to new areas because its a compitition out there.
Most of our costs on the internet is divered from the rental use of these lines, similar to connection fees of telephones just that most fiber optics are far more reliable than the old copper wires used for most telephones and most phone companies already switched in technology use, not in billing structure, which is why there are not alot of upstart companies popping up now using the cheaper service of fiber optics and providing just low costs.
Oh btw, myspace is probably a larger country than austrailia in terms of the internet.

So I decided to go to singularity to test the new content, which I was very sceptical about. Started the 1.4 GB download but disconnected after 400 MB. When I restarted, the clever Download manager didn't manage anything: I restarted from scratch. I don't have unlimited download bandwith and such flawed design and service is unacceptable in 2009. Guess I will be putting on a very long skill for ApoGrind, just in case I don't log in for a very, very long time...
Yes! You can have my stuff! The first one to give me the author and historical importance of the following French Verse will get my fitted CNR :
"Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne, bercent mon coeur d'une langueur monotone".
Wow, that was fast!! RUZE win the CNR, congratulation!
you have a crap connection , not ccp's fault
you have a crap download manager, not ccp's fault
go cry elsewhere?
Australia in particular has Internet that is equal to that of a third world country thanks to our corrupt service providers who put zero effort into upgrading the arcanic systems they put in place decades ago and its taking it toll. We're forced to pay hundreds of dollars a month for limited bandwidth and ****ty unreliable service. If we had an actual choice in the matter we would of upgraded, not amount of whining or *****ing can change it due to the stupidity of our government allowing for a monopoly on the service provider market and left it that way for years before realizing what damage it did to the actual service. Hell using 56k over here is better value for money than using ADSL or Cable is. I pay 70 AUD a month for a fibre optic line that is probably equal to around T1 with horrid upload, its a decent speed but the problem is the horrible download limits that is 12 gb for the entire month 'on peak' (12 pm to 12 am) and 24 gb offpeak (12 am to 12pm). Share that amongst a house hold and you barely manage to not go over.
That is still not ccp's fault.

The op more than likely lives in part of Europe or any Country which isn't America, and as such has to use a service provider that places a fair usage policy on their service. 
I know, shock and horror that in 2009 there are still limits imposed by companies that are run for profit before service.

or the op lives someplace even in the US where they don't have a cable line or fiber optic line yet.
Case in point whenever I have a dll for EvE I do it at work since I have no cable or fiber optic option open to me. I have a) Dail up @ $18 a month (which they do limit and after a certain amount will either "Randomly Drop" the connection or slow down to an even slower crawl) or a Sat connection @ $70 per month plus $400 for the dish itself. I even checked into the wireless connection through verizon's cell phone signal and it clearly states on the contract "Not for use with gaming" so there isn't even a point there.

I hate to say it.. But even in the US there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth. Comcast has moved to a limited usage approach and when you reach it they dial you all the way down to dialup speeds. Cox has also moved to a similar system. There are few if any remaining companys that allow you unlimited internet. The most you are going to get is around 200GB of total useage before it starts capping out.
And for those that use one of the two provides that hasn't been effected by the new cap's yet. It's coming and will be spread across the US by the middle of the year.
That is unless the put in there net tier plans that is based upon total useage caps. You could get 800 GB for around $200 a month if you wanted.
But not everyone has cable or other options. I live in the middle of a forest and the closest town is about 50 mins away. There's no way I could get cable out here as it's not cost effective for them to pipe fiber out for one or two residents.

Out of fifty states, more than half don't have regular broadband connections. So much of our country is still stuck with 56k, unless they dish out a LOT of money to monopolized industries.

I live in europe my isp has a fair use policy they sent me a letter complaining about my downloading 30 gig in one day, i phoned them up and told them i wanted to end my service as having a 20mb connection and only a 30 gig a month usage was crap they apologised and i havent had a letter since i regularly dload over 100 gig a month now :)

Nice, a flame. I didn't blame ccp for anything, and its usually a not a good idea to start throwing around 'your country sucks' as some people can take that as a racist stance. So grow up.
Also to the guy who went over 30gigs and now gets much more bandwidth, I have never heard of anyone getting a better service after they violated the rules. Most will just charge extra for the bandwidth they think you did not deserve, and there have been cases of people being charged huge amounts for violating a f.u.p.
Most internet providers have a very rigid set of terms and conditions that they expect their customers to adhere to. Not saying you are wrong, it just sounds like you were incredibly lucky and one of a few.

Seriously though, most people don't have 'unlimited' bandwidth as not everyone lives in the centre of an American city. Not trying to be nasty about it, but as an example I cant find a single UK internet provider that doesn't use a 'f.u.p.' (fair usage policy) that prevents large single downloads and going over an allotted amount of bandwidth per month.
The US seems to be the last little bastion, I guess, where they don't limit how much you can download and access.

Look harder.
True they do have a FUP but they only time they enforced it was last year when some muppets DOSd the DNS servers.
They aren't perfect (they sometimes fail to respond to congestion in time) but they are pretty close.

I think you misunderstood his point. He can reach his 95GB limit in less than a day at full speed — that limit has to last him a month.
So the question you should be asking is "what can you legally find to download that amounts to 95GB?", and then ask yourself whether you could go through all of that in a day and then be over your cap for the rest of the month. And no, with more and more media (especially video) moving to the net, 95GB isn't much…

Around these parts (Sweden), the only limits I've seen are on the use of mobile broadband and those seem to be moving away from being limited, rather than in the direction of applying more limits.
Then again, it's been a fairly steadfast belief for the last, oh, 40 years or so, that good communications in a country as sparesly populated as this are essential and well worth the investment cost (because that's what it is: an investment, with great pay-offs). Distance is a motivator for deploying infrastructure, rather than a cost-prohibitor.

In point of fact you don't need to download the DVD. You could download a lower bandwidth copy and you'd probably not tell the difference. HD is typically transmitted at less than 20Mb/s at a quality that most people would be more than happy with. I record HD movies on my PC thanks to a satellite tuner and it's rare for a movie to to reach 10GB.
Just because you and your friends lack the knowledge of how to encode movies in an efficient way is a poor excuse for clogging up the global internet with your bloated files. Given that most of them are probably illegally obtained and distributed it's even worse.

With services such as Hulu, iTunes, Netflix and with XBox Live and PSN offering more and more media, that's actually very simple. Just because you don't know the amount of high-quality/high-bitrate media being offered over the net doesn't mean that everything downloaded is bloated or illegal.

Why are you so hung up on "per day" — it's his limit per month. Are you saying it's hard to squeeze in three movies a month?

I have a 3gb limit between 4pm and 10pm (note, prime time). My connection is Virgin 20mb which relates to approx 25 minutes before I go over. I complained to my ISP about it and their response was "Tough". My problem is that I don't have a BT line so I can't go to ADSL unless I fork out the 150 UKP connection charge just for a phone line from BT. Having dealt with BT before, I know they'll railroad me into a contract which they will then bill me 200 UKP for broken contract when I sign up with another ISP. I've been down that road before and I'm still fighting with BT about it a year and a half later with OFTEL and others involved.
Virgin recently sent me a survey asking me if I would recommend them to a friend, I promtly told them I wouldn't even recommend them to my worst enemy.

No it is not an official statement. Not everything surrounded by blue bars is an official statement which can be quoted as fact until the end of time. Deal with it.

Even my unlimited 16Mb/s connection from sky has a fair usuage policy of arround 100GB/Month on it, though I've never been told I've broken it and do download quite a lot.
But regardless of this and the fact that its the test server the new patching system is utter fail.
Nobody wants to downlaod one file that then downloads another, its as bad as trying to download adobe acrobat reader, you get the file think your done, copy it to a usb key, plug it into your none networked computer and bam its not the install its the program which downlods the install... Great good job...
And the sames gonna happen with this, download the patch at work or whereever, take it home run it thining strange its only a couple of meg, and bam you must now download the full patch over your crappy internet connection even thoughyou thought you'd already downloaded it.....
Thanks CCP I can truely say no one playign your game wanted you to change this, no one, ok maybe one or two peopel but there masicists and enjoy the pain of downloading downloaders so you can downooad the patch.

Seriously though, most people don't have 'unlimited' bandwidth as not everyone lives in the centre of an American city. Not trying to be nasty about it, but as an example I cant find a single UK internet provider that doesn't use a 'f.u.p.' (fair usage policy) that prevents large single downloads and going over an allotted amount of bandwidth per month.
Sky "unlimited". It cost me ú10 per month as I have sky tv and phone. I get free phone calls too My monthly bill for tv phone and Unlimited BB is ú22.
Super sexy free Broadband or even sexier unlimited
and slow most of the times, i worked for sky for some time as there adds says up to 16meg and a lot of the calls i got they where likely to get 1.3meg in saying that it is fair new to the bb market i hear there are going to satellite adsl info on what this is here satellite bb also they have the fair usage policy.
virgin is also unlimited good speed but really hits there traffic speed in the day time.
worst one BT if you complain it is slow they will look at the others users in your area and cut there speed now you might think this is ok but it could be down to the complains old speed.
if you are limited conection really look in to others even if the speed is not as fast atlest that why you can enjoy the ineternet all month.
to ccp good luck with the deployment to tq.

Ive never heard of 'unlimited' bandwidth before, that must be one heck of a system they got. *Points out that there is nothing in the universe to mans knowledge that is unlimited*

The Client can be torrented so what's the problem
95+ hrs to download may be a little itsy bitsy problem. Especially 30 seconds after download completes and you find the download is corrupted.
Things like that create newspaper headlines with words like 'massacre' in them.
Thats the beauty of bittorrent you can't get corrupted dloads unless your pc is **** or your hdd is dieing.
