Suggestion for patch anouncements
« on: May 22, 2004, 11:56:43 PM »
Here's a suggestion. When listing the new beta patch why not list its file size, and the file size of the complete download. I went to AH2 tonight at patch 23, and after 2 updates decided to check the message board. I see its up to 35 and am guessing the full download will be quicker. I don't know though, since patch sizes aren't listed :) (if they were I could add them up! :))

Yes, I think downloading the full version would definitely be quicker...... some of the patches since 23 have been quite large.  :)

Normally I wouldn't say this, but assume the full version would be quicker when you're 12 versions behind. :rolleyes:
