Vodka_Ice May 11, 2002, 07:05 PM On average how long would it taketo download a game on 56k? butcher2 May 11, 2002, 07:14 PM A really long time. dcsurfer May 11, 2002, 08:25 PM ouch, would even attempt it, by the time you spend the money on electricity to keep the pc on and the dl going, you coulda bought the orignal. LOL just kiddin, it would take you at least 34 or so hours to download the smallest one i have seen. thegoatherder13 May 11, 2002, 08:46 PM yes,56k is a serious pain. unless u have it on a 2nd phone line and just leave the pc on all day anyway then go for it. however id just invest in cable. i still have 56k tho. gusmanchu May 11, 2002, 09:13 PM Plus the fact that these Xbox releases are mostly very big, so it will take longer than it usually does for say a PS2 game. X_calibur May 11, 2002, 10:38 PM when i had 56k it took me 1 hour to download a 19 mb ps2 game file. now with dsl it only takes me 10 mins... Roger Moore May 12, 2002, 03:35 AM It would take days to get one game. I think it would be about 15MB an hour @ 56K. I just downloaded simpsons road rage and it was about 250MB I think, so that would take you 21 hours to download it @ 15MB an hour. I may be wrong, 15MB in one hour seems a very long time, please correct me if you know the real speed. Roger Video_Arcade May 12, 2002, 03:41 AM Why ask? Why not do only way your learn for yourself OvAZ kLocKz May 12, 2002, 03:49 AM when the modchip gets out, you better off buying the games or trade from someone here THE NUKE May 12, 2002, 05:38 AM *lol* I Have 33.6k Modem *lol* Beat That Switching To Broadband I Think I Should See A Difference *LOL*:p:p Action Ocelot May 12, 2002, 10:26 AM i download a fair few games off my 56k modem. Used to do all the smaller DC games like crazy taxi, virtua tennis ETC. Used to just do a RAR per night as i ahve NTL with a 2hr cut off limit!! LOL! Backupz 4 All May 12, 2002, 12:58 PM your better off buying them...56k is slooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! 56k a sec and 1 rar or a game = 50,000000k dr_tea3x May 13, 2002, 01:04 AM GET DSL!!!!!!!!!!! marah May 13, 2002, 09:35 AM Speed is probably close to 10MB an hour with all the ups and downs (I've tried it) When d/ling a movie it took 3 days and I gave up as I wasn't even half way. Cable/ADSL not an option for me :( saintdaz May 13, 2002, 01:47 PM did shrek last year on a 56k !!!!!! just to see if i could , never again, i just went out and got a life. bladerunner86uk May 14, 2002, 07:54 AM the largest xbox iso so far, oddworld, is 4.2gb, imagine how long that would take on a 56k. i have ADSL and it has taken me about 3 days. |
