Finally got VI to work properly so set up my computer with 57k connection to download all 140 megs of the XL mod. Get up in the morning and 97% complete... at 99% the connection decides to reset... ARRRRRGGGGHHH!!!

57k? Wow, I know it sucks when people answer questions like 'buy this' but you can pick up at least 1mg broadband for as little as £15 a month these days, how much are paying for 57k? If it's more than £5, I'd swap.

Yeah, that really blows. A pity too, because XL is a lot of fun!

I was able to download the "lite" verson and install it. The next time I go over my friends house I'll d/l the full version there and rip it to CD. As for going braodband myself. Well I just don't have the money. I live in the states and local cable company has a monopoly on service so $65 a month which is what about £40 a month.

Yeah, I live in America too, and it can cost from 20-60 Dollars a Month. 20 bucks a month for first 3 months for Comcast,then it jumps to 40-60 bucks a month.. I got 56K aslo..

...get a T3 Connection! I love it, but I understand as I temporarily was on a 56k modem, and I was dl' a mod for UT2004, after 15 hours of downloads I go to unzip it, and it says the file is corrupted!
