yeah but still FFS, I'm not getting any younger at 36 years old.

You still have me beat by one year or so. :)

Also do as I do(if you can on your connection): Play other websites/media while it DLs. :D

Or make a cup of tea/joe while you wait...basically kill time and it'll seem much quicker(usually).

When downloading other websites don't load AT ALL.

Wait.....what? o.0

*Does spit take*

That is not what is supposed to happen. Even when my internet was hella slow sites still loaded during DLs.

Have a look at my pit outside

You wonder why I am like I am when here we have WORSE infrastructure then most 3rd world countries

What is that? An antenna of some sort? o.0

No it is in the ground the cabling for our internet is in the ground it is (was) an access pit

Well the pic is a bit hard to puzzle out....but anyways what else would they use to gain access to underground lines? ;)

Why a pit, of course. Or a manhole of some sort/etc.

I simply do not know easier reach maybe

it's supposed to look like This!

Well maybe they just don't like you? ;p

;)

No it's just Telstra Line Works Customer Extortion

Welp that sucks

Well, maybe, but there are lots of legit usages for p2p technology and clients. E.g. many Linux distros and shit are provided (also) with torrent-links on their download pages, and even the navigator software on my mobile phone (MapFactor) has the option to download offline maps straight to the device, using the built-in p2p technology.

Then again, I recall bittorrent does have some workaround in use so that the aforementioned port forwarding is not absolutely necessary, but I presume it helps with it too. On Emule though, port forwarding is pretty important because two users who are both behind a NAT will simply not see each other in the ed2k-network, they can't connect to each other. So without port forwarding (or a straight connection to the internet without NAT), an Emule user gets less download sources, basically only those who have open ports.

I've felt GOG should implement some kind of optional p2p option to download one's games, then I wouldn't feel bad for downloading all my GOG games. :) Plus, then those with very fast lines might get better download speeds for thei GOG games when hiccups on GOG CDN servers wouldn't affect them anymore (like when many US and Chinese GOG customers complained they get poor download speeds from GOG servers).

I recall Humble Bundle at least had that; besides the direct download links, you could also use their torrent links to download your games from them. I haven't checked lately if HB still has that.

Same here because I don't want fiber in the house :D
