Question about The v0.9 preload

[XxxGrANdmA]

Hi. I am currently downloading the pr v.9 preload torrent thing, but i am new to torrents and have 2 questions. 1) is it normal that the down speed goes from like 15 kb/s to 150-200kb/s? And 2) If I pause the download and restart my computer, will i have to start over because my bf2 is experiancing problems so I'm calling ea tech support so if they have me restart my computer, i just want to know if I'll have to restart the whole thing. Thanks for your time.

1) Nothing to worry about

2) No, it will start back up where it left off.

Yes, torrents changing speeds like that is normal and yes you can start/stop the download as much as you want.

Thank you very much for the quick reply!

My only complaint-

PEOPLE! Turn your upload options ON! Theres more leechers than seeders for these things, slowing the rest of us all down. Be gracious to the community and allow what you got so far to be uploaded!

It aint illegal, so spread it as much as you can. For everyone's sake!

Hi guys, when the password comes out and we install the 0.9 patch, will we have to uninstall the older patches or is it sorted out automaticly? thanks

Previous versions "may" still show up in add/remove programs, or programs and features, but there will be no dramas with the actual game if you either uninstall first, or don't and just run v0.9's installer over the top. Either way, it will work just fine.

You should use the torrent, to avoid corrupt downloads, since torrents have anti-corruption methods. Also has resume support, etc. It will be slow until more people get the file and seed back, but either way, if you've started now and have reasonably fast internet, you'll get it before Friday, which is what matters. Either way, you'll get it sooner than if we just released on Friday .

I currently live at a university connected to the school internet that blocks me from downloading from torrents and p2p. Will there be a different download location once the game is out?
