The http link seems to be downloading the Call of Duty Demo.
Oh, and first.
Also.. the http was downloading a lot faster than the bit torrent.
No, I’m getting Quake 4. Not sure what the above error is.
Yeah I am downloading off the http right now and is downloading at a very nice pace. Can’t wait to see how my PB will handle it. I have been waiting to try this game for quite some time now.
The bittorrent speeds up as you download. It’s probably the faster way to get this 536MB demo. The bittorrent is resumable too.
The HTTP was giving me 60KB/s, the torrent is now at 75KB/s (I’m at 16MB)…
heck, if you’ve got a decent connection just download it from both and see which wins…
Sadly for some of us, before we can decide between download styles we need to decide on new hardware. Is a game worth $2000.00??
