    If the DEVS deemed it possible then yes, although it does extract to \ns instead of \nsp. I'm on 56k and downloaded it, just deal with it.

    Use Download Accelerator and its ever popular RESUME feature.

    Then you can download it at you leisure over a day or two. Or in a startling leap of logic you could download it while everyone is sleeping??

    the reason why i dont downlaod while evryone is asleep is coz the internet goes VERY slow at night- about 2.5kbps

    a [atch would have ben nearly as large, you would still be downloading all the maps that were updated, new sounds, and a couple new models.

    plus with the change of install directories, it needed a fresh installer

    First people complain as NS is so hard to install with all the patches, then when it comes as one nice big file...

    Ah well. It's understandable. Use the torrent to dload it IMO; resumeable, faster, neater.

    the internet is slow at night?.. if you're not using it, who cares?

    even at 2.5kpbs, it should be done by the time you wake up. you probably have atleast 5-8 hours for it to complete. I don't see how it'd be a problem.

    OK ENOUGH ABOUT DOWNLAODING AT NIGHT- Im using a special download manager thingy-magigy that can resume downlaods. oh btw the reason it downlaods slow at night is something ill never know, just another mystery of 150k speed broadband

    looking forward to B5 to kick sum FAT ONOS ARSE!! <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->
