bitdefender and ppl on dial-up - cursed

My o my. Is it just me, or why does bitdefender take about 2 hours to download ?
I realize it's an almost 9 MB app., but the last time I had a download take so long was when I still had my Win98 pc.

Not really complaining, but I think I have to postpone my planned chinese-dinner Out for next
weekend, lol.

(Still 1 h and 35 mins to go........... )

 

Nat,

I found the update servers are very slow to . Just downloaded 7.2 free again today to test the speed... a pathetic 30kb/sec .

I hope they improve this soon!

 

Maybe someone can upload it or something...do you have an email ID, I have BitDefender downloaded, I banged my head to do it! Maybe I can email you the file, your email servers will probably be better than the BitDefender server...

 

Someone try this link and tell me the speed please:

Hey there .....,

I had to get my binoculars out to count the dots in your name. (just joking)

Maybe we just picked the wrong time ?

I agree...hopefully it'll be faster soon. Especially for others that want to download next.

 

Thanks Firecat, but it's ok. I'm half way through...I think.
There goes my dinner....

 

FOR ALL THE OTHERS WHO PLAN TO DOWNLOAD BITDEFENDER FREE 7.2:

Use these links if you try to download from BitDefender.com and have slow speed...

Nat, I sure hope you got a good download manager, I see your on dialup...hope you dont suffer disconnections..Better have a nice download manager, will keep your download from beginning all over again when an accidental disconnection happens.

 

No, no download manager here. So far I was always lucky.
But then again, never had to deal with a 5 hour download either.

 

Two days ago I was downloading Painkiller patch which took me 9 hours and after finishing it said file was corrupt...Darn it!

(Don't worry that wont happen to you....I hope)

Lets all pray for the best. But next time, use a manager, I'd recommend LeechGet available at www.leechget.net

Its light, does not come with adware/spyware and is effective...what else do ya need?

Might as well sing the christmas carols while your downloading....You see, I'm on dialup too

 

Took me about 2 mins from Bitdefender site. 100kbs average.
