    My email arrived 10:25 UK time (an hour ago). Downloading now but it's really slow (40 Kb/sec).

    Count yourself lucky - I'm on an 8mb connection and I'm only getting 11.9kb/s!

    18% downloaded, only 12 and a half hours to go!

    I was thinking along the same lines actually, but when I checked the shops in town today, they only have PES 6 from tomorrow on. Double pwned when you consider that I will be playing this demo earliest in the wee hours of tomorrow morning the way the dl is going.

    I spoke too soon: the 40kB/s only lasted for a few minutes then it slowed down and stopped after 13% of the file. Started again but only getting 10 kB/s now. At this rate it'll be done by 10th November.

    I haven't got the link, though if it is that slow I might wait till it is available elsewhere. On the other hand I only have a 1 meg connection so it is gonna be slow either way.

    nice try edyzmedieval,
    but I bet each link can only be used once.Otherwise,one could give the link to 1000 others,so that ain't very exclusive anymore,right?

    Actually, it's one link and one username/password for all. They're pretty obvious too...

    I heard something about it being available on the internet tomorrow. Maybe it is just a rumour, but it is only one day away if it is true! :)

    I can also recommend the 'Download-them-all' add-on for all you firefox users:

    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/201/

    I just wish I'd thought about this earlier in the day when I was at work, then I'd have the demo by now! As it is, I've just started using this download manager at home and I'm getting speeds of between 80 - 125kbs - it will be downloaded in 2 hours.

    Not bad considering I started downloading this morning on my work PC at 11:30am and it was only at 35% by the time I left a 6pm...

    Thanks for the heads up TB666!

    I preordered mine from amazon.co.uk when Eras came out and have never had a word of any download link; but I shall go and buy PC Gamer tomorrow anyway.
