UOF game client

[AztecDream]

Was just wondering I have a 50 meg cable download speed and just wondering when I chose to download the game client why it's taking so long and tells me 4 hours to download, can anyone maybe give me some reasons as to why the game client takes so long to download? and that's just downloading that's not including installing it's very frustrating.

Not to give a full lesson on how the Internet works, but your 50mb/s connection is only the speed that your computer *can* access data. The data it self resides upon a server or machine someplace else. The bandwidth that THAT machine hosting the file has comes into play when you attempt to access the file. You may have 50mb/s of available bandwidth but that file server may only have .25 mb/s available to spare you as it can be congested with other folks attempting to take some of it's bandwidth by downloading files.

I guess the old adage "it takes two to tango" comes into play here.
