Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.09.27 06:16:00 - [1] Well, the title says it all. Can we please, pretty please, with sugar on top ALSO have it as an OFFICIAL torrent download ? You know, when it comes out. The full client too I'd really hate to TRY to download 2+ GB and keep failing or getting a corrupted download. I know I had big issues a long time ago even with the <700 MB client installer (I only ever downloaded it succesfully ONCE, more than a year ago, never again), I shudder to think of the 2+ GB one. _ [CNVTF] is recruiting \| Char creation guide \| Stack-nerfing explained

franny Phoenix Knights Dark Nebula Galactic Empire	Posted - 2007.09.27 06:21:00 - [3] qft 2gigs is gonna be 'fun' to download if we have to do it off a single source with no torrent support PKKP recruitment
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.09.27 06:25:00 - [4] Besides, somebody WILL be uploading it as a torrent anyway. I'd just hate to download it from thepiratebay and later find out it's spyware/keylogger/trojan/whatever "loaded". That's why I'm saying "official" torrent _ [CNVTF] is recruiting \| Char creation guide \| Stack-nerfing explained
F'nog Amarr Celestial Horizon Corp. Valainaloce	Posted - 2007.09.27 06:25:00 - [5] You do realize this is many weeks away, right? Not that I'm saying it shouldn't be done when it's ready, but this is way ahead of schedule. I used to get It. Then It changed. Now I don't even know what It is.
Dred'Pirate Jesus Amarr Ministry of War	Posted - 2007.09.27 06:25:00 - [6] Sooooo.. Any info from the powers that be about that trial DVD thats supposed to go out to the major software retailers? I'd pay the $2.99ish to have a hardcopy of Rev III Eve.. Originally by: David Hackworth ò If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan your mission properly.

Not that I'm saying it shouldn't be done when it's ready, but this is way ahead of schedule. given CCP's track record we whine now, so they have it ready a week after the patch PKKP recruitment

Not that I'm saying it shouldn't be done when it's ready, but this is way ahead of schedule. Well, the decision to use a torrent as a distribution method AT ALL is an issue CCP will have to discuss, rediscuss and mull over repeatedly. I guess it would help if we "lobby" them into even considering it in the first place. They didn't even hint at the possibility that they might be thinking about it. So nope, 1-2 months in advance isn't "too early", not with this issue _ [CNVTF] is recruiting \| Char creation guide \| Stack-nerfing explained

Really, I'd pay some money to get myself a hard copy of EVE. Even if it's just for the heck of having one! (24/7 download rig running at home, 2 gig will be easy in one night. Also, i support the torrent idea. Heck, i'd even setup a temporary tracker myself if needed! (tough i think people like Chribba would be more up to the job...) Sign my sig

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2007.09.27 07:25:00 - [10] Originally by: Sleepkevert Also, i support the torrent idea. Heck, i'd even setup a temporary tracker myself if needed! (tough i think people like Chribba would be more up to the job...) My custom tracker (warpGate) is already working as it has been used when EVE-Files supported torrents before so it's no problem using that again (actually as you posted I was messing around with it to see that it works...) Did you find Chribba's LoveCan ?

Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.09.27 07:31:00 - [11] And since you have a zillion jiggabit per second campus connection under your ass, I suppose it will take you, oh, say, 247.91 nanoseconds to download the new patch and "host it" for us... right ? RIGHT ?!? Advanced thankyous _ [CNVTF] is recruiting \| Char creation guide \| Stack-nerfing explained

Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.09.27 07:41:00 - [15] Originally by: FireFoxx80 Where did you hear it was 2GB? To be fair, it was the "Trinity II" upgrade that's clocking 2+ GB, which might (or might not) be merged into the Rev 3.0 "patch", or be released separately. It probably WILL be released separately, since CCP claims they will maintain compatibility with the old Trinity I engine in Rev 3.0 too. Source ? Some video interview from a month ago. Originally by: Avon I'm pretty sure CCP have used "official" torrent distribution in the past, although I don't remember exactly when. I'm pretty sure that they never did it. I know, I've looked for it. Never found any official torrent(s) of EVE. Please, try to find any reference to them ever using it, would love to hear that they aren't averse to the idea. _ [CNVTF] is recruiting \| Char creation guide \| Stack-nerfing explained
Matthew Caldari BloodStar Technologies	Posted - 2007.09.27 08:01:00 - [16] Originally by: Avon I'm pretty sure CCP have used "official" torrent distribution in the past, although I don't remember exactly when. I too remember this - think it was sometime around Exodus. It was only done for a couple of patches, and only then because the patch downloads were saturating their bandwidth and rendering TQ nearly unplayable for a few days after each patch. IIRC the torrent struggled nearly as much as CCP's server. It was back when CCP still hosted the patch files on their own server alongside TQ, rather than using the distributed hosting service they use now. As I understand it, they can scale that distributed hosting service to whatever they require, so if they know a 2Gb patch is coming, they will have already planned to have the distribution set up to get it out. ------- There is no magic Wand of Fixing, and it is not powered by forum whines.

The Snowman Gallente Four Rings D-L	Posted - 2007.09.27 08:27:00 - [21] bah stop whining! If the patcher is good enough it will be way faster than torrent and will remember what its downloaded in the case of a D/C Try downloading 18gig of Vanguard:SOH and you will soon know the meaning of downloading ;)
Dred'Pirate Jesus Amarr Ministry of War	Posted - 2007.09.27 08:31:00 - [22] Irrelivant.. I want a hardcopy for Rev III/Trinity 2 I can buy for peanuts at my local retailer so the next time I reformat my 'puter I won't have to DL 2 gigs of data to play freakin' Eve..

"I want a java applet browser version of EVE that's under 1 MB in size" would be a whine. Quote: If the patcher is good enough it will be way faster than torrent and will remember what its downloaded in the case of a D/C That's a big "if", and no, it would be "about the same" as a torrent, not faster... especially since you don't have much of an incremental patch size, but rather a massive addition. Quote: Try downloading 18gig of Vanguard:SOH and you will soon know the meaning of downloading ;) That would barely even fit on my largest partition... only if it would be nearly empty _ [CNVTF] is recruiting \| Char creation guide \| Stack-nerfing explained
Laboratus Gallente BGG League of Abnormal Gentlemen	Posted - 2007.09.27 08:37:00 - [24] Torrent would be great. It would make downloading it faster for us players, and decrease the load on ccps end... ___ P.S. Post with your main. Mind control and tin hats

Agreed Originally by: Steini OFSI The most efficient way to get a dev response is to have the word beer somewhere in your thread.
Max Flame KR0M The Red Skull	Posted - 2007.09.27 08:42:00 - [26] Agreed, torrent needed

If you have downloaded it from the less legal circuits, you need to extract the ISO first. After that, the installer extracts to a temp folder (2x18 gig), and after that you need to install it, taking yet another 18 gig (3x18gig). That's a whooping 54 gig for one game!

Caia Gallente Scrutari The Cyrene Initiative	Posted - 2007.09.27 09:33:00 - [29] /signed Also, I too would pay for a hard copy of Eve. I've been downloading the FULL latest version every 6 months or so so I have it on CD. However, 2 Gigs is gonna be about 1.2 Gigs to big to fit on a CD. Adapt more, whine less.
