The online installer for eve is pretty junky. Please consider the following features:
1. Pause/Resume buttons: So that I can stop the download and resume it later when i have more time as opposed to having to restart.
2. Auto-Resume: If my internet dies before the installation completes I want to be able to shut down my comp go to starbucks and restart the download.
3. Hash-check individual pieces: Verify the download is good before finishing. Many times has it said the download was corrupted.
Alot of people work of public wifi spots or unreliable connections. I could program these features in a few hours its a super inexpensive solution.
BTW I've tried using download managers and other stuff on the offline installer but never been able to get it to work. The files are always corrupt and without an MD5 check I cant verify the files and even if I could I cant repair individual pieces I can only try again. 2.5 gb takes 8-10 hous at starbucks.

Can anyone offer some feedback on this post. I know its a simple relatively overlooked aspect of the eve experience but implementation is only possible if the suggestion has some support.

I'll second this! I would imagine this could be a fairly simple implementation. Or if they would simply offer a torrent version of the full-install. The torrent protocol could potentially reduce much of the network strain on CCP. |

I totally agree with this, for more than 1GB download there HAS to be some way to pause/resume/auto-resume if the power goes out or something, these downloads take forever :S

This has been asked for of an on for a number of years.
As for a torrent, I believe that they used to have one but discontinued it due to lack of interest.
However sometimes they do endorse a player set up torrent. Macrointel, the place were the nature order of the universe does not hold sway. Pirates and ore thief's are congratulated by carebears for the actions. |
