Any way to download the 1.2 patch in smaller chunks?

Seaweed · 04-19-2007, 02:30 PM

I let the download go all day yesterday while at work. I came home, still had 30mbs left. I get 143 downloaded when it just stopped. I wasn't able to resume. All that time wasted.

I know I'm probably the only person who still dosen't have broadband (sarcasm), but is there any way to get the download in smaller bite sized chunks?

Maybe you could go to your local library and use their computer to download this to a disk and then install it when at home. I hadta do that when I didnt have internet. Check you local schools/colleges too.

edit* I dont know how to install in chunks.

Get one of your friends whom live in the 20th century to dl it and burn you a disk.

No its not offered in chunks its one big .zip file.

If your really desperate I suppose one of the fine folks here at subsim can mail you a disk.

I would suggest a download manager like getright, but the update manager is proprietary. Maybe the patch is on fileplanet somewhere?

If you want, I can pack the file with winrar in the size you want and upload to MediaFire! Is 25mb per part acceptable? Bigger/smaller?
