Please please please don't be a bogus message liar *** person. It hurts when it isn't true :) Put up some screenshots on a web page to prove it then. Juju

Post it to "alt.binaries.games" - do you know how to break down the file(s) into smaller more magageable pieces? (If you use Forte Agent or FreeAgent, it does it for you). A file is never "too big" - I've downloaded entire games (200+ MB). It might take a while, but it is usually worth it. Assuming the demo is the same size as the previous CD version (60MB), just zip it up. (The other demo was exactly the same as the internet version, but the internet version had been zipped to 13mb). Anyway, if you could spare a couple of hours uploading time (assuming you don't have a cable modem like some lucky people), WE WOULD ALL BOW DOWN TO YOU AND WORSHIP YOU. We would be eternally grateful. And btw, Joystick Magazine does NOT have the demo available yet on their WebSite. I will be sure to let everyone know as soon as I find it.. doktorB ---- >>Post it to a web site somewhere so we can all try it. >It's too big.

Just an idea.... Can't you post the Monza track file alone, then all that has to be done is to add the Monza track file to the existing tracks folder. Peter

Thanks, Sim Racer.. I'm sorry.. I hadn't thought about the phone bill - I'm in Canada, and i'm logged on pretty much 10-15 hrs a day, downloading stuff, etc. (can you say warez!).. I don't pay a cent for the phone call. Hadn't thought about it, but thanks anyway!! We owe you large!! doktorB >>A file is never "too big" - I've downloaded entire games (200+ MB).

In spain : now 1$US = 1 Hour next month 1Hour = more than 2$US ... :((((( I hope GPL has good support for local lans .... Ayrton McKafre

very thankful :-) David Cook > Well, got a problem as on alt.binaries.simulators.autos my file > refused to upload, so I'm mailing it to you, if you can be luckier > than I am for sending it.

>Anyway, if you could spare a couple of hours uploading time >(assuming you don't have a cable modem like some lucky >people) Off topic, but of interest to cable modem shoppers - they're only fast one way (downloading). You upload files (and send your "clicks" and keystrokes) through your regular phone line just like you do now... - Mike. ============================================ Mike Holthouse - Indianapolis, IN Drop the "X" to e-mail me. ============================================

over the cable. No phone line is used. Upstream bandwidth is only about 15% of the downstream bandwidth. Because of RF interference from other devices in your house, the cable modem must use a more robust (slower) transmission protocol for upstream communication. However, upload speeds are still much faster than regular telephone or ISDN. See the comp.dcom.modems.cable for more info. -sam

Thanks Sim Racer.. I just tested it.. works fine (although crashed my system cause I tried it without moving Watkins glen). Am in process of posting it to my site. Will update here as soon as it is up.. stay tuned everybody!! d.b

I meant, the demo was only 13 megs to begin with, so one track file can't possibly be "too big" to upload. Just saying it's "too big" immediately made me question whether you actually had a file, or if you were pulling our legs - I for one would have been very disappointed if there wasn't really a new track available. Sorry for my original tone. It wasn't obvious at first whether you were telling the truth or not. It's now apparent that you are. I can't wait to try it! -- Pat Dotson IMPACT Motorsports http://www.impactmotorsports.com

> 2-way over the cable. No phone line is used. Hmmm... I wonder where I read my info... I better look into them again... So, it *is* a lot slower than the download, but I guess it's still probably faster than a regular modem?? Thanks for the corrections. - Mike. ============================================ Mike Holthouse - Indianapolis, IN Drop the "X" to e-mail me. ============================================

I read in the paper the other day that there will be a new system in place in a couple of years here in Canada (we were the first to get cable modems). This one will be 250,000 TIMES FASTER THAN CABLE!!!! The article said that you could download the entire library of congress in less than 1 second!! I guess at that speed, some downloads would be on your computer before the screen could refresh!! doktorB

could you send a copy down here to Rio de janeiro(never seen this mag here).Thanks a lot

Upload is much, much faster than a regular or even ISDN modem. -sam

Almost 2Mb.

Only with the poorly implemented cable modems. Not all of them are like that.
