You know there's a light version that's 25% smaller, right?

I used to use 56k, I know your pain.

The only thing I can suggest is perhaps getting a download manager like get right or something similar.

:no: :no: :no: :no:
ever heard of leaving a download on? or perhaps a download accelerator? or perhaps upgrading to non crap connection?

i dont know if u noticed lately but 90% of hl mods are over 160mb

strange how everyone else on 56k can get esf and dont suddenly have to wait till 2010 to get it :rolleyes:


not like esf can suddenly be 20mb and still be as good

but hey if u have a magical compression softwear that does that by all means share

Hibiki, you reminded me of something halirous.. here is a link to a page with a graphics video that is only 51KB, compressed from 1.3 gigabytes. Thats a 35000 to 1 compression. :D - http://www.theproduct.de/

56k is dying out. Broadband will be more and more affordable as time progresses. I'll tell you this though, once you go broadband, you'll never go back.

I guess sometimes people don't read.
Good luck out there in the Swedish No-Man's land with that 56k BTW, you're gonna need it until soem broadband company starts setting up shop there.

In the meantime, use DAP and choose a mirror that allows resumable downloading (a lot of them do anyway) and download it. If you got to turn it off, you can at least resume it.

Even if it takes 50 days, it will be well worth it.

I have 128kbps and I pay around 14$ for it monthly in Poland, how it's in compare to other countries?
EDIT:

FlashGet and Get Right are best accelerators for me:p I get ESF 1.2 in about one and half hour:p
