Dungeon Runners for me.
Keeping from touching the computer as much as I can. Lost my download twice already and once it was over halfway done. Getting to a ridiculous point of if I lose this one, I might just forget about the beta. Not the game, though.

Sniper is another term for unorthodox surgeon.
Um..if your in closed beta its a torrent..You can't "Loose' the download unless your Deleting the Torrent files thats the whole point of a torrent is you can stop or pause the download shut down and come back and pick up where you left off.
on topic..im currently stuck at work hating life since i have a 10 hour day today.
reading forums, and playing homeworld2 , another 1.5 days here
I dunno. But it happened. I run into these wierd moments sometimes. Trust me, they were gone. Looked into the original file and the stuff that was going into it and it wasn't there. Either chalk it up to Vista or one of those really pissy points when the computer reboots under a 'fatal' error.

Ouch...sorry to hear it Meph, I wouldn't give up hope keep trying!
Thanks. And I'm not giving up. With all hopes the lowest the rate will get today is scraping 20kb/s, as I've seen it jump up to 150 for a few minutes every now and then. Halfway done again.

Why would you refresh it? You do know that Open Beta is not gonna start this weekend, right? It has already been stated.

The sooner you get your codes registered the better especially if they're allowing you to download the OB client.
But he's already downloading... Did you even read the topic title?
wait...so we aren't going to be able to DL today? I'm not DLing yet...I thought that I saw somewhere that they are allowing you to DL it today.

He's downloading the Closed Beta Client he got into closed beta days ago but has been having techincal difficulties
as for if we get the OB client today I have no clue but i keep hearing we will. I'm not particularlly sure this is the case. I think they just want to get a ton of people registerd so they can pick who's going to the PW Weekend from SE pre orders & see how many CB peeps are coming etc.
I just noticed I got in the CB too. The client DL is slooooow via the torrent that have set up. Although it's starting to pick up speed actually! Was sitting under 20KB/s for a while, now it's breaking 200KB/s.
Err, back down to 100KB/S!
Been playing ROSE, so many more people now that it went F2P. I went a couple of hours on WoW before I wanted to gouge my eyes out.

Ok, so I have been lurking on this site for a long time, and now I have a question.
How are you able to get download speeds in excess of 100/kbs? Is it the program that you are using?
It usually depends on the number of seeds, I downloaded the torrent a few days ago, its just sitting and waiting for a key now, but I was getting about 300-400 kbs with a few higher and lower spikes. Only took one evening. Using Azures/vuse or utorrent (mutorrent really) is a pretty good way to go.
Dang, either really unlucky with seeds or BitTornado is just terrible...
Do torrent download speeds depend on who is using the same program as you? (I am guessing so, I just have no idea. I'm new to this torrent thing.)
Damn it, sorry all forgot to leave my comp a Seed last night. Hopefully I'll remember when i go to bed tonight.
im at 43% and my computer just rebooted itself while i was using it., when it started again no screen, another reboot i get welcome to windows, and an empty desktop with 3 icons!
im like WTF! hooowwwww.
well restored to an earlier setting and its back to normal. phew i nearly had a sooky fit.
