Iiirc Image takes awhile to get through, and it may use up a fair chunk of your internet allowance.

The length of time '-mage' takes depends somewhat on how much content needs to be downloaded. If you don't delete gw.dat it will only download whatever content is needed. If you have a new installation or you have deleted gw.dat, the download can be around 3GB and takes a long time.

You have a internet allowance? Where do you live? is this an optional thing?

Hmmm just realized you guys aren't from New Zealand <_<. Our internet providers are like 20 years behind you guys in the states etc, so we get caps on how much we can download. For example, a plan may only allow for 10 gigs worth of downloading and uploading per month, if you exceed it you pay extra and go on dial up speeds. It sucks.

My internet guy allows 500 MB upload and download, and when you reach that limit, he knocks you down to 200k speed.


It's really obnoxious. He's giving crappy service for outrageous prices.

Oh well. I'm stuck with him til someone else moves into my area and offers internet.

/fails at being Californian.
