The best i found was the first link on the official site,but that was a 8.5 hour down load for me.All the other ones like fileplanet where in the 15 +hour range.
http://www.gonegold.com/demos/ this link has alot of places where you can download all sorts of stratigic demos and the like

james,

after you find a decent site, get one of those smart download programs that can remember where you left off if something bad happens, like a disconnect. you can then come back online and pick up from where you left off and not have to start all over again. the other thing to do if you've got a slow connection speed and a big download is simply start the thing running before you go to bed or whenever you're about to turn off the computer. even if the bloody thing crashes in the night you can always pick it up again from where you left off the night before. i've got a 300 meg file i'm trying to d/l and i had it running and had to quit for some reason and i can go back and start up from wherever i left off...if the servers ever get freed up again. it just stays in my download queue and i can start and stop it whenver i like and even stop it and start another one and come back to the first one again. very handy and saves a LOT of grief.

Except that I refuse to pay the Charter people in this area one red cent. Their philosophy is "pay more, get less." Cable internet alone costs more than the internet/TV combination package. They finally cut so many channels out of basic cable TV & raised the price of extended so high that mother-in-law cancelled hers. I have gladly used dail-up rather than pay them.

& now, DSL is available next month! Woohoo!!!
