Actually now that I think about it, I’m really curious as to what .plink did with a lot of the music in some specific places, such as Gonarch’s Lair, or Power Up.
Well the artificial path and stairs remainded me more of lost coast, but I see your point. On topic, I highly anticipate the resonance cascade effects and also all boring corridors back in HL1 to see them turn to life in BM.
The FGD file 
Oh, and all the maps in the entire mod. I’ll probably play through HL the day I download it.
I Honestly can’t wait to see the source-spiffied opening tram-ride through the Bowels of the complex. from the looks of it already it looks epic!
The walk outside to the cliff paths. 
Or the Nyhilanth (cant remember how to spell it and too lazy to google!).
Oh, and not looking forward to those shark-like buggers, got propper paranoia when taking on those, for some reason…
Yes, I concur. I still cringe when I have to get in the water with one of those… and I’m 17 
Everyone rushing to download and torrent it the minute it comes out.
I’m interested in seeing how they handle the downloads. I bet not a single mirror is linked directly to their server.
And I also ponder of whether or not a torrent would be faster in this situation.
I’m gonna throw it up on Usenet as soon as it comes out. Super fast downloads, AWAY!
I’m not a torrent expert, so I do apologize for my newbish-ness, but typically torrents are slow when they have a low seeder:leecher ratio, right? and everyone will be downloading it the second it comes out, so wouldn’t there be far more leechers than seeders?
And yeah, I do know that you can seed and leech at the same time, but again, I don’t know all the mechanics of how torrents and p2p protocols work.
Paying for piracy :rolleyes:
African or European bumblebee?
But Africans bumblebees aren’t migratory.
Premium access comes free with my Broadband account douche fag :hmph:
By principle, BitTorrent protocol has the highest theoretical distribution speed for huge amounts of downloaders, simply because centralized or semi-centralized distribution systems have some limit on the number of concurrent connections they can serve.
What you often witness with low seeder:leecher ratio is mostly caused by unconnectable peers (peers with ports not forwarded to Torrent application), or by peers who throttle down their upload speed. Some seeds even disable upload altogether to be un-chargeable with author rights violation (since downloading is legal in many countries).
If the few initial superseeds are correctly setup (i.e., they toggle “initial seed” mode on), then the distribution should be going really smoothly.
This.
And this.
1.5 MegaBYTES per second = gidddy pants.
What’s your ISP? O:
512kilobytes per second download speed it still pretty quick there son.
True 'dat.
