So? That's only about 5 Mbit/s, that's not much. The fastest ADSL provider in my neighbourhood offers up to 8 Mbit/s. And on my uni all students who live on campus have a 300 Mbit/s connection (backbone is currently 2.5 Gbit/s, with plans to upgrade to 10 Gbit/s), which could theoretically download the demo in about 5 seconds. Obviously, the bottleneck there tends to be the server

fast connections ruin the anticipation

I'm on dsl, took me 4 hours

I downloaded it in 6 minutes

I think alva has the same (cable) ISP as me (Telenet); they force us to surf through a proxy server and if a Telenet user recently downloaded a large file it is put in the proxy cache so that every other Telenet user can download it much faster... atleast, that's how I think it works

Yep, telenet
You don't have to use a proxy though August, in fact it's better not to.
I was stupid enough to click cancel by accident when the DL reached 99% though
Telenet isn't the best one to play on-line (rather slow upload and alot of closed ports (?), but for downloading it is .
