I have Cable and I have to say when playing WC3 I want to kill people who use dial up
5 minute at the loading screen then 3 minutes of spastic lag, before he finally drops dead.

Yes, but I've heard that a fast connection causes impatience. :rolleyes:


Still, wouldn't mind clearing out my download list, get it all out of the way...

How can you even have a download list that needs clearing up on dial-up? When I had dial-up, it cost so much per minute that I couldn't be online for more than 1, 1 1/2 hours tops a day. Which is frustrating when you have webcomic archives to read and flash cartoons to watch and all that.

My fellow forumers, those of you in the United States need to invest in a company called cynergy. They are going to send your internet access through powerlines, the baseline speed is faster than cable w/ unlimited dls, aswell as being cheaper than dsl, dial up, and cable. It goes through ur friggin powerlines too so its pretty much wireless.(except for the powercord)

For those of you in Australia, I can only pity you and rejoice in my luck of living a mile from a dsl station.

hehe, i remember my dial-up days. ran at half-steam on a good day and made me a Mechwarrior 3 god (w00t for the 56k armor!). Unfortunately, this also cut out a whole slew of other titles, such as any half-life game involving more than 4 players.
Oh well... at least it helped pass a boring summer in which I downloaded about 500 SNES roms.

Dyamn, Meister. Dial-up like that really should've been avoided.
My dial-up lasts a good 4 hours per session, so it's only a pain when chatting to people for a long time.

Or roleplaying at the last minute.

Or downloading files that take forever to download, by which I mean more than four hours.


As for my download list (Currently 88 files long; Several of those files probably no longer exist anymore), a little program called FlashGet is responsible for that.

As if Microsoft ever thought of a pause button. :rolleyes:
