[SOLVED] Need a favor

Postby Germ » Apr 30th, '11, 15:26

I'm on dialup internet with a poor connection. Would someone mail the latest beta to me? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks. :)

But with a small connection, isn't it best to use torrent?

I live in Montreal, just across Saint Lawrence River. I can mail it to you if you give me your address in a private message.
Slightly off-topic but GO HABS!

:shock: Wow, I didn't know that still exists. :shock:

I hope you got the latest beta, unfortunately I can't help.

Germ, it would be my privilege to send you DVDs of the "Final" as soon as I can get it. Send me an Email, advising which versions (x86, x86-64, or both). I will send two of each, verified, in case one gets damaged by the post office.

Unless you're feeling lucky about the result of "uprmi --auto-update" over dial-up, you might want to have the DVD (close by and ready to use in case of disaster). I'm in Reno, NV, so it's simply domestic mail -- although I might use a "Priority Box" to get them to you a bit quicker.

Cool! Thank you. I really do appreciate it. Dialup is really frustrating. It's my only option out here in the sticks other that satellite. I don't think I'm ready to try that just yet.

Thanks again. :mrgreen:

Box is sent!

Postby rickst29 » Jun 3rd, '11, 23:28

You've got a priority mail "small box" coming, stuffed with a bunch of silver frisbees you don't need. :mrgreen: But also including two copies of the one you want. Dropped off this morning. Enjoy!
