What are the specs on your computer? Do you have every other program closed while you install?

Edit: Ah, I didn't read your question correctly. Thought it said install instead of download. Silly me.

Downloading you say? If you try torrent I am afraid that people might've quit seeding by now (I know I have) so then you are perhaps better off trying one of the mirror sites listed on the eb downloads page.

There are 62 seeds, so torrent should work just fine.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Correction (correcting myself I mean): there might be few seeds in your area. In that case you are better off trying the mirrors as people might simply quit seeding at some point...

[anelious phyros]

Sorry for my ignorance but, what's seeding?

Oh, and thanks for the help

[Tellos Athenaios]

Sharing your downloads with other people so they may download it from you -- or just: "uploading".

[anelious phyros]

How do you stop seeding from happening to you, or can you? Besides how can seeding make me wait 9 days and 2 hours till done loading?

Opps, sorry only 8 days and 16 hours now.

I am not really well-versed with torrent clients but you could of course try to cap your uploads speed at 0 b/s? Affects all torrents though; and usually torrent clients work on a basis of 'more sharing means better priority at the tracker'.

Thanks for all your help guys I retried it all and it's going to be done in like half an hour.

Parade!!

Oh, and if anbody else has a question they might want to ask here. It might get better reslults then making a whole new topic.

[bovi]

If anybody else has a question or problem, create your own help thread. Thank you.

[anelious phyros]

Oh, sorry what he said I guess.
