<div class="IPBDescription">...as in megs</div>i realy need to know the size since i have a bad isp and a dial-up modem (which only gives me 10 hours a month)so i could sorta set aside some time for the download.

(btw does any1 know any good download managers)

oh, and i've been gone for quite some time. so did i miss anything new?

    It's kind of funny how often people ask this question.
    could a forum mod please make this a sticky post so people don't keep asking?

    Oh, and the answer:
    It'll be somewhere between 50 and 500 megs. STC. (Translation: nobody knows yet so STOP ASKING.)

    500 megs?  That's definately gonna be harsh on anyone on 56k or less.

    Uhhhh, I think he was joking about the 500 megs <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->) he was using that number as an example showing that no one really knows.

    AGGHHHHH!!! It will <span style='color:red'><b>NOT</b></span> be 500MB.

    It will likely be somewhere between <b>90-120MB</b>. There is some flex due to which maps will be included.

    Both were by MonsE. I checked. The mouth of MonsE = God. The Mouth of Flayra = God's Mother.
