m21man 0 Posted September 25, 2003 So how many MBs is the African units pack? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m21man 0 Posted September 25, 2003 Also, couldn't you have one version of the Lost Island for cable users, which would contain everything? Then you could also have a "56k Friendly" version downloaded in seperate chunks? It'd be the same stuff, compatible with the cable version, except in a form more practical for 5.5kbps download speeds . I'd sure get every chunk, it's just that I simply can't get more than 80MBs or so of stuff in one night (When nobody needs to use the telephone ). Please, have mercy on the 56k users!!!

This wont happen, we suggest using a download manager that allows you to resume the download (like getright or DAP) (plus many of the BAS team are 56k'ers anyway (including myself) and we've been downloading and testing numerous betas too... just leave it on overnight, you'll survive) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phille 0 Posted September 25, 2003 Because there are no mercs? Â (I'm not expecting any answer to that question) Are you still using Lost Island as the name or have you come up with someting else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lee_h._oswald 0 Posted September 25, 2003 Are you still using Lost Island as the name or have you come up with someting else? No, the new name will be "Independence Lost Island". MfG Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chipmunk 0 Posted September 25, 2003 No, the new name will be "Independence Lost Island". So, the island will be released with dino's ? Don't forget the raptors ! Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m21man 0 Posted September 25, 2003 Quote[/b] ]where are you at that you cant get cable or dsl it is a great help in everything you do on the net I'm in a house in the woods, about 2 miles from a road. DSL isn't available, and the mere act of digging the cable trench would probably come in at about $50,000. I haven't figured in the cost of 2+ miles of pipe .

m21man 0 Posted September 25, 2003 OK, fine, I'll have to go with a download manager (Or see if I can convince one of my cable friends to get it for me ). I've got two questions about download managers: A. Can I restart the download at any time? As in, can I disconnect, turn off the comp, and come back 12 hours later. B. Are there any free, reputable download managers that aren't loaded with spyware? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Knight 0 Posted September 25, 2003 1. u can resume from when u left off for as long as the file is at the same link as u started it with 2. getright is free but has a limited amount of time although its not that much to pay for there is also Fast Downloader which is free but not as good just look on the net for them ull be surprised how many there are Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m21man 0 Posted September 25, 2003 Okay, how long is the trial period for GetRight? I'd need six days at least, cause I'd probably grab the FDF Mod as well . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phille 0 Posted September 25, 2003 As far as I know you can skip buying it, but keep using it. Everytime it ask you if you want to buy it just wait 30 secs and then press ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm 9 Posted September 25, 2003 I've been using getright for about 6 months now, and all you have to do is wait for the "OK" button to appear (after about 30 seconds) to get rid of the little "buy me now" box. The free trial lasts about a month... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m21man 0 Posted September 25, 2003 Well, I've already got GetRight and I'm doing a large test with it by downloading the FDF MOD. I guess I'll quit complaining about my shitty modem and get ready to rumble on the Lost Island. Speaking of which, what kind of units are going to be included with the Island ? Is it just infantry with new, JAM compatible guns , or are there going to be vehicles outfitted for the jungle too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ExtracTioN 0 Posted September 26, 2003 I use Getright and DAP and DAP is the best download manager Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canukausiuka 1 Posted September 26, 2003 DAP is what I use when I"m on dialup. Of course, now I'm on broadband, at least until next summer... ...so hurry up BAS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m21man 0 Posted September 26, 2003 Until the AI is vastly changed, caves would be worthless except possibly as placeable objects in the editor. You could use a cave a hideout for one man, but that's about it. Still, caves are awesome (I have Cat's Afghan map ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
