I can. Let me know if you need me. Know nothing about torrents though...

I will seed it if I get the file. I already paid as well. I will help if needed.

Same to me.

And what´s with Filehoster like Upload Files

It can be used for files not larger 1GByte and with an Upload-Time of less then 10 hours?? Maybe a solution?

I don't think you would need to limit the file to pre-orders. The whole key is the activation code. If you are a pre-order guy and get the two days early thing you get the activation code. If you didn't preorder, than you won't have a code to activate until the "normal" release.

the easiest way to protect that only pre-orderers get the game is a passworded rar file

It is not that big a deal to get it early -- when everyone gets it we can find the typos (NO bugs please) and we can get a patch out.

But if someone that did not pre-order gets it ... I still saved $10.00.

Yup, I suppose you're right. Being able to download the game means nothing if you don't have an activation code. But did the pre-order early release deal ever stop? That is, the moment word gets out on the boards that the pre-orderers got the link, could somebody order the game and get the email that has the activation code? Or did you have to pre-order by a certain date to get the right to download it early?

May 27th preorders stopped so I assume the ones that ordered before then will get the email. There really isn't a way to stop others from downloading if the find out a link unless you were able to put together a system that verifies order numbers before downloading which I know isn't going to happen with this need to have a bunch of mirrors for all of us eager beavers ready to play.

Hopefully they have somoene setting up a torrent soon, if there was nothing wrong with the release candidate that Markus gave to the testers, they need to be seeding that bad boy right now so it will be ready

trapper · 06-02-2009, 04:21 PM

...assuming that it will be released to pre-orderers tomorrow.

I hope so.

cameron · 06-02-2009, 07:08 PM

I too will seed if torrents are the way we're going....also pre-paid

MB.Pelicans · 06-02-2009, 07:47 PM

actually to get a decent speed at all, the torrent would need to build up at least a few hundred seeds... so I dont think it matters if its out tomorrow to pre-orderers or not. It just needs to be seeded asap
