I Live in a small remote village in the U.K where i cannot get broadband, the ISP that i use has a 2 hour kick off time, where every 2 hours i have to redial. The new patch that has been released has an estimated download time of 2 1/2 hours. Which means i cannot finish downloading the patch before having to reconnect and therefore having to restart the download.
I was wondering if any1 knew of any mirrors for the download where a download manager program could be used i.e reget.

Thanks for any help on this.

Hopefully see you in game again soon.

I know the feeling. I'm on 56k modem in england also. It took me 1h45 to download it. My connection went 8 min before the end. I suceeded the second time. This disconnect time... Does it always happen or is it only when inactive. I use to have an isp that disconnected me every half hour if i wasnt on the internet browsing. Normally you can turn this off in option or keep a window open which you can refresh. If it is the isp then im not sure. I dont know of any other mirrors. If you know someone in real life then maybe they can burn the patch to a cd for you.

The disconnect happens every 2 hours regardless of whether its inactive or not. i do have real life friends who play however they dont live all that close, and was kinda hoping to be able to download it today.

I'd just give a call to your ISP, explain the situation and see if they can make an exception. It might just be a setting they can change, maybe extend it to 2 1/2 hours. If they balk, say that 2 hour thing is a huge inconvenience and threaten to go with a different ISP. They still are a business and should help you out if they want to keep your business.

Good Luck,
