MRDRHAWK Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I used to Omegle occasionally. I liked pretending I was a walrus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interest Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Uh I didn't even know what those were Probably better you didn't. New question. Totally not using something I caught on another forum at all. What’s the longest time you’ve taken to download something? Question speaks for itself this time - doesn't have to pertain to download size since you may have had Dial-up Internet at some point and spent a week downloading a picture. Back when I had Verizon and the Blizzard didn't have their OP streaming technology that allowed me to play their games after downloading 10 MB of it, I spend a good 2.5 days downloading World of Warcraft (this includes the damn patches, since back then Blizzard wasn't smart enough to provide an installation that was at the most recent patch). It was my second installation attempt after wiping the first install off my computer to diagnose performance problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riariadne Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Probably two hours. I generally don't download big things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) About a week. It was some 4-5 years ago with my old crappy computer and I was torrenting an anime series. I'll never forget that one. Nowadays, the same file would probably take about an hour. Edited December 30, 2013 by Red Fox of Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrhesia Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Probably would've been Lord of the Rings in one sweep up to the Rohan expansion. Particularly because IIRC we could only do so overnights, given it fucked up the computer's connection during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
