Jesus Christ on a Stick

After despairing of getting a reasonable download speed for the Quake 4 demo from anywhere, I remembered that Telewest have an FTP site they run themselves - and because it's on their own internal network the speeds tend to be good.

I'm currently getting 1073 kilobytes per second off of it.

That's an 8MB download speed.

See - there is a reason to have 10MB broadband - I can download huge files in almost no time.

Funny, I remember when 10MB was the speed of the office LAN.  Now it's the speed of my internet connection...

I remember when 8 meg was such an obscenely-large size for a game that I wasn't allowed to install the thing, and had to run it from a sereis of floppies! Still, nice! And what's Q4 like?

Sadly, Q4 is actually pretty dull. Lots of wandering down remarkably similar tunnels and shooting monsters. It's like HL2 never happened...

Ahh, a pity. I guess I'll just stick to UT2k4 then...
