Like I've said before, I have a 56K modem and I can't download Halo CE without severly pissing off the other people who live here that "need" to use the phone, so, is it possible to download sections of Halo CE so I could slowly just get it? Then I can play it and I won't have to wait 3,000,000,000 years to get it. Is this possible?

Unfortunately, I don't think so. You're going to have to ask to download it at a friend's house and put it on a disc and bring it home.

Well if you download it on KaZzA or Bittorrent [which isn't illegal, as it's FREE anyway] that pauses your download. So you can say turn on your PC for half an hour, turn it off. And Haloce will still be at whatever % downloaded it was.

Lmao.

I'm pretty sure Getright is able to download in pieces. Thats how I downloaded Ragnarok Online a few years back without waiting 103 hours for it to download regularly.

You actually play Halo with dial up?

Yeah, I mean, it's bad enough that Halo has a crappy netcode, and you're going to have to lead even if everybody has a high speed broadband connection.

At least I'm not bad for dial-up! Lowest ping I've ever gotten was about 192, and that's guessing.

I would suggest using a download manager. There are several out there that not only have options for pausing a download, but also for splitting a task into several simultaneous downloads. While splitting may severely clog bandwidth, it'll certainly cut time.

My only question is this: why do you use dial-up if DSL or Cable could be availible to you?

I don't know how long CE takes to download on dial-up, but have you considered downloading it over night? No one would probably "need" to use the phone then.

The programs arn't illegal, it's the people that use them do illegal things.

It is not available because I'm poor, 14 (Which means I have no control over what I get or what type of connection I have), and I live on an island that has about double the price for everything. I'm serious, I've seen Lego sets that were $150. Do you have any idea as to how insane that is?!? The only thing that we have from the mainland is Vons, and even they have overpriced stuff. KFC was just booted off the island by "some rib place that you'll like!". I hate it here.

get verizon dsl, it's cheaper than dial (and not nearly as laggy too)
if not, then ppl will laugh at you for all eternety

  • 07.17.2006 5:04 PM PDT

lol

Why would you play Halo if you lived on a paradise island? Lol

  • 07.17.2006 5:08 PM PDT

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

you can dowload like 25% then get off. and then when you get back on it will still be on %25 so you can sontinue from there. sometimes it continues usually it doesnt. thats jus an idea
