    Any idea of any websites that will have it, and if i'm reading right it's going to be 3PM GMT for the release.

    Why exactly would they have multiple torrents, anyway?
    I don't use that service but my step brother uses something similar called Limewire, and the download speed is limited to the total bandwidth of all user with the file your downloading. More torrents is the same as more users I imagine so that means faster downloads. I'm also pretty sure theirs a limit to how many people, (physically, not bandwidth, speaking), can download from each host at once.

    @Carl

    Firstly, afaik 1400 gmt+1 is 1300 ie 1pm gmt

    Secondly - there's no point to multiple torrents, and that's the reason I asked that question. We won't discuss limewire here, as not only is it very far off topic and mostly illegal it has absolutely nothing to do with bittorrent; but suffice to say that there can be unlimited users in a torrent swarm and so it makes no sense to have multiple torrents unless there's multiple versions of the file.

    But didn't someone say that CA confirmed that there was only going to be an international english version?

    I doubt they'd bother with torrents for the smaller non-english language communities...

    Well I just looked on totalwar.com and their forum (without going through every single page though) and found no readme about the new patch (not a new one anyway that is different from the one that was posted here end of march)

    What I did read though is that they found some fatal error in the patch and postponed it again? (that was posted at 3 or so am today on a German site)

    My apologies then, it was my understanding that these torrent services where all file sharing services and all file sharing services used the exact same method, (and thus had the same limitations and advantages and other functionality points).

    Is their any way you can explain how having multiple torrents WON'T produce faster downloads? It seems pretty obvious that having multiple sources means faster downloads, it even works that way with download sites, because no one site is getting all the strain so overall, over multiple sites it speeds things up.

    Sorry for the off topic.

    Patch is delayed as they found a bug (something to do with battles) in it (In Germany some people already had it and they found that bug) so wait for 5 more days or so for you all I think.

    Unless that is the German patch only.
    Gamershell withdrew the links to the patch, so 50% it's true.

    I just can't resist correcting this one despite the risk of running foul of a mod... Limewire as a P2P application is not in any way more illegal than any other P2P application is; neither is the Gnutella protocol it makes use of illegal in itself. Bittorrent is simply another P2P protocol (and the name of the original application that implements the protocol), and if you wanted to brand an application/protocol "mostly illegal" based on the fact that unfortunately ALL P2P apps/protocols are factually used for copyright infringement 99% of the time, then Bittorrent certainly qualifies as well, and if you look at the current stats, more so than most others.
