I'm currently at 1:30, PS took me a whole 2:30 hours, this patch must be so big cause they are redoing the continents.

You think today is bad? Wait till tomorrow when everyone (hopefully) gets their beta CDs. Today is exclusive + some open beta. Tomorrow is leftovers from today + all the new opens. I won't be playing till Sunday. =D

just some patch calculations:

aprox 250 MB for the patch. 60,000 testers

thats, hmm 15 TeraByte. Letting everybody download the Beta whould have been 150 TeraByte. Not that much of a difference.

This mourning seems to be nice, I resumed my download from leaving my comp on over night and now it just has about 5 minutes left to go. Good luck getting it, I had to restart like 5 times.

Edit: W00T! It just finished, time to see how the new MAXes play out in the battlefield.

I just started and it says only 65 minutes.
Hopefully I won't have to restart the download.

Cronus, the GWB quote in your sig is totally out of context. Maybe you could at least put a date on it.

Sometimes that helps. I accidentally cancelled it this morning. Then, when I restarted it, it only had 1 hour something left, instead of 9.
