If you dont like stuff being automatically installed without your knowledge, why are you running Windows in the first place? Its what it does! And yes, CCP, why not just offer a guide on how to install and download a standard torrent client? Why reinvent the wheel? --- Originally by: Roguehalo Can you nano Titans?
Jim McGregor	Posted - 2009.05.08 15:17:00 - [2] Originally by: Ix Forres BITS is basically HTTP. There's not much reason I can come up with as to why CCP would use BITS over HTTP in any case other than making life harder for non-Win32 users, as it stops you using download managers such as DownThemAll to download, pause, recover from internet connection issues, and so on. Everything I've heard about installing EVE recently has been complaints- I know many people who've had to redownload several times, if not more. I stand corrected. I assumed that there would be a point having BITS in Windows. Now I know there isnt since its just a basic download manager with a name marketing people loves. The rest of us will hopefully get a standard http link to the file and download it by whatever program we choose, since thats the way some people like it. --- Originally by: Roguehalo Can you nano Titans?

Probably trying to save a buck by using our bandwidth instead of theirs! Its more efficient, will be faster and doesnt use nearly as much server bandwidth but I still dont get why they have to reinvent the wheel and install a daemon in peoples systems when there are plenty of torrent clients. --- Originally by: Roguehalo Can you nano Titans?
