How long did it take for you to download the game?

 

[Craib]

I've downloaded it many times during Alpha, Beta and Gamma and its varied between 15 and 60 minutes. At times there were a lot of testers downloading at the same time.

i have a 66Mb download speed.

About 5 to 6 hours. If you look around the forum you'll find it works ok for some but there are many like myself that struggled to get decent d/l speed even though I have decent bandwidth.
Never had a problem getting stuff from Steam.
Got to say it was pretty frustrating at the time.
By the way my download was 5 days ago not during the release madness.
Enjoying the game now, but my intro to FD/ED was a bit shakey due to the poor d/l.

Not long at all. Not sure on the specific amount of time but no more than maybe 15 minutes.
