Thats big. Im downloading it now. Luckely, I have DSL..... slow, but its still dsl.
I started it about 1 min ago and have 12mb done. It says 5 hours left at 500kbps.... not 5000 kb/s, kbps.
I have no idea what that is in kb.
(Kbps-= kilobits per second
Kb/s-= Kilobytes per second)

I saw the game in Wal Mart. It looks awesome, but it requires a better video card than I have, I think.

actually, K0, KBps stands for kilobytes/sec, see, the capital B.
guys (and Kazer0), could you please alert everyone that i'm not gonna be posting in the forum anymore. neopets is taking over my life. i'm sorry. goodbye.

actually, no, kBps is the same as Kbps and is still kilobits not kilobytes. KB/s is kilobytes.

That's shameful. You didn't ditch us for Africa, but you did for neopets....

I notice the "Crystal Caves" avatar. Yes. Welcome, stay a while. We could use more active members here. Welcome, welcome.

You may be a bit disappointed, K0. I was looking through the Images, and there was no new rank images.

by Kazer0
Really? Well me and you will be special with no rank images. Like member guests.

i'm quite proud of my avatar, i drew it myself. if so it can be called. but it's an exact copy of mylo (only, the light is from his shooting sprites and the rest from his standing sprites).
