Alternate download site for demo?

unsaved · 02-07-2007, 01:31 PM

Going on the third day now trying to download the demo from GameSpot.

Is there any other place where I can download it? If not, can Atari please employ an alternate (more reliable) content provider?

The support forums at GameSpot show that many users experience the same problem, and that their support team ignores the possibility that the problem is with their servers. I paid for their Total Access service only in order to get their "Lightning Fast downloads" ha! 35 KB/s, and their servers don't support resuming failed downloads or download managers. It takes a half a day to download a 1.5G demo at 35 KB/s, and it's all for nothing if any disconnect occurs 90% through.

Thanks so much. I had searched the forum for "download" and didn't hit that thread.
