Originally posted by Phat JHmmm, I know some of the guys in Europe have a problem with Filefront's DL speed, but if you're just up in Canada, it shouldn't be a big prob.
mines only going at 3 kb an hour, which is weird cuz the other one went at 60.guess ill jsut have to wait 13 hours and 10 minutes to watch it
What's your connection speed, and did you try others of the many server mirrors on the download list?
Occaisionally they're slow due to maintenance, they have over 10 terrabytes worth of files or so, so it's a constant job.
Originally posted by Phat JI think they're doing maintenance right now. I just clicked on the Archipelago link and it started out averaging 150kbps, but is now down to 24kbps.
i only tried the one, most of the shit i dl from slsk is in the 70's, but anything from yousendit is up in the 300's, so i dont know.
With my connection speed I usually average much higher than that, anywhere from 160-460kb.
This kind of thing usually lasts anywhere from 3 to 12 hours when it's due to maintenance.
Originally posted by Phat JNo prob Phat, glad you could finally see it, sorry for the hassel you had.
doesnt really matter to me, it downloaded anyways.that game looks sick dude, it should be comin in the mail on wednesday or thursday for the xbox.
thanks for the preview.
My two latest FarCry videos and the last F.E.A.R. video I just completed are all widescreen format. FarCry is a better game IMO, but F.E.A.R. has sensational visual and aural effects. The gunfights are much more graphic in F.E.A.R., but the story and maps more diverse and immersive in FarCry I think.
Let us know if you like the Xbox version.
Originally posted by Phat JNo, I don't even own any consoles. I'm considering getting an Xbox 360 if SmartJoy makes a FRAG (KB/M adapter) for it though. MS may not allow it, they're being very strict this time, requiring special chips in only select certified accessories.
have you played it for the xbox?

I liked the story in F.E.AR, it had a bit more suspense and it was throughout the whole game. Far Cry, had a good story also, but they're wasnt really anything to it aside from figuring out the bad guy.
I do agree that the maps are better in Far Cry and the gameplay is a bit more diverse. But, like FEAR, the maps got kinda of boring later on.
Overall, for me, Far Cry and FEAR were equal. Two completly different FPS, both doing something different.
Too bad, PC doesnt get alot of games at the calibre often.
All game maps get boring after a while, but FarCry's being much bigger and more diverse than F.E.A.R.'s keep them interesting longer IMO.
OK, guys, I don't mind going a bit OT, but let's touch back on the subject of videos. Has anyone else had any download problems, any comments? I don't even know yet if many of you have seen them, there seemed to be a lot of interest when I presented the idea. Are you hungry for more, I have others to show of course?
My F.E.A.R. ones are quite a bit better in quality and of course effects, the first one having won me a F.E.A.R. polo shirt on the VU forum. I only have 3 so far though, so I'm waiting to build up a larger archive of them so I can keep mixing up what I show.
Like Johnny 5 says, "I need input." 😄
Originally posted by SaTsuJiNSure I have numerous more, glad to finally get some input. I even resorted to PMing you and a couple others, as there was little to no response on those already posted.
O_o anymore vids? ... i'd like to see some farcry ones.. since I'm a bit more familiar with that than painkiller .. but as I said before any and all are good 😄
FarCry it is, let's see, I think I'll show you The Gauntlet, and Gauntlet II, two short Hummer action clips with some glider sniping. They are from Rebellion.
The Gauntlet: Race Against Death (10MB)
The Handy Hummer strikes!
Gauntlet II: Breaching the Bridge (10MB)
Strike two!
Grunt Talk & Gauntlet Outtakes (10MB)
Harrassing the pigs!
Originally posted by SaTsuJiNYeah, I just checked and all of the links are doing that right now. Give it a while and check again, they're probably not finished with the maintenance they were doing recently.
for some reason those vids dont have public mirrors.. each one has 1 fast pass server mirror which is the pay ones ; ;..
I know Filefront has some inconveniences, but they're really the only ones offering such large and unlimited file size and space. The uploading of files is very convenient too for those submitting files.
It's just been a matter of bad timing as far as their recent maintenance taking place right when I started this thread, but I've really not seen much interest or response from those that have seen what I've shown so far anyway.
Hopefully it won't remain that way. 😉
