 Still going - about 2 hours left I suppose ----could have flown to Cakewalk headquarters and picked up a copy quicker...... but at least (touch wood) no breaks in the connection.......Hows the rest of you slow connecters doing?..... perhaps we should have a prize for the slowest...... my connection running at 160kbs .... anyone lower???

160kbs!...I would've sold BOTH grandmothers for that sort of speed!! 8-) Nah, on a BT wireless connection, got as high as 1.3mb/sec, and as low as 13kbs...yep, you read that right 13KBS!! D/ld over several hours and haven't yet set up. Who knows??

1200baud dial up? Get back to me next year...... maybe by Christmas... after they have the bugs worked out...







Seriously... does anyone still use 1200baud dial-up? Yep... I do.... not for internet but for a business connection I have and need....across the phone lines..... no lie.

I think it took me an hour. It may have been quicker but I was playing chess or solitaire and kept forgeting to check.

Hope you get there without issues!

I can only dream of the one hour download - you will have probably cut an album on X2 before i finish downloading!!  I'm at work at present...so just hoping, when I get back its all finished.....hope you are all enjoying X2.

For me it took 2.5 hours to get everything downloaded, though I was getting 300k-1.3m bps, because a couple of files got corrupted during the transfer. Silly me should have plugged into my network instead of using wireless. It would have been faster and more reliable. I guess I was too excited. :)

I live in South Africa bro, I'll need about 3 days to download this - no kidding.  The good old corporates have a massive strangle-hold on our communication industry, and they're raping it. A bit harsh, apologies to anyone affended.

Crappy UK broadband here. I started mine off last night using FDM, which did appear to "accelerate" the download speed. Started off at 400kbps but at times it was dropping to just under 100kbps. I left if going over night and all was done when I got up this morning. Only worry now is that the log in FDM was showing some access denied messages. But all the files appear to be there and of the correct size, so fingers crossed.

I'm just backing up my downloads to my external drive and I'll be installing X2 any minute...

Took me 1/2 hour per module, I downloaded 10 of them
The install took about 1/2 hour
So 6 hours to get running (except Rapture)
Next time I'll just wait for the disks
