​Just Hit the Button I'm off to pub this will take ages

I bought a Game of Thrones box set this week. Knew it would come in handy.

*clicks update button*

 

[lucid_enigma]

Yay! It's upgrading! 5.9MB/s hmm. another 25 mins!
Ok. Food. That's stretchable to 25 mins?!?

 

[Astronut57]

This is gonna take a while.
Don't forget to re-enable verboselogging guys and gals

 

[TuesdayFrog]

And were off!

 

[Backelaer]

Don't be cheering yet people...
My download went very smooth at first, but then all hell broke loose I imagine and it went offline briefly. Anyway, I wasn't expecting to be playing it tonight anyway. The trick is to not get your hopes up

 

[Forse Kinn]

Servers are about to go pop. Started off at almost 5MB/s... now crawling at 0.01MB/s

 

[BlueLumen]

Thanks for letting me download the update through Steam, it's so much faster than doing it through the launcher, 15.8MB/s vs 1MB if I'm lucky, will be done in about 1 minute.... no offense.

That,s it. It says play whoopee!

 

[DrakeAurum]

Augh. Saw the "Upgrade" button and clicked it on reflex, then thought "damn, I didn't check that I had Horizons selected." Cancelled upgrade, was indeed on the correct one, and then spend 30 seconds repeatedly getting "network connection lost" messages.

Switched to alternative download method, now downloading at 1.66MB/s.

 

[GeneralIdea1964]

Anyone else notice the Eagle in the trailer had additional fins on it? Body kits maybe??

I heard elsewhere it was being considered.
your new Asp! now with whitewall tyres and fins!!

 

[The Mad Spaceman]

Of course! .. benefit of being in Beta group .. upload estimated at 5 mins, most of files already there
.
... Spoke to soon, now gone up to 1 hour .. that'll teach me to be too smug

Bought the beta last week but it failed on install. hope it works now

 

[Enderby]

Just finished upgrade nice one fd

 

[racer1]

Just waiting for a doomsayer to declare that the fast download speeds mean no one is playing the game...

 

[Rob Galaxy]

Download ready, game starts, ship spinning,...
