KHinfcube22 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Hey...ummm...My friend gave me the game half-life a few days ago...(I know, sad...But the stores would never let me by it...)...And I noticed it was version 1.0.0.9...It is the second oldest version I could find...I tried to download the version 1.1.1.1 full client, but It would take my computer a full 4 hours to do so...I don't have that kinda time...I was wondering if any of you could get it, and zip it, then send it to me...That way I can download it on my comp much faster...E-Mail it to AugShadow822@aol.com if you can...thank you for your time...

Sayonara Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Why bother? Just rush through the version you have, buy HL² when it comes out next month, and never ever play HL1 or anything else ever again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHinfcube22 Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 But love Half-Life...Plus, HL2 will cost money, and that I don't have...Anyways, i know 'bout 20 people who have hub parties with H1, and their mods...I need the patch...Oh well....

Neurocomp2003 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 just go buy HL1 for 20bucks CDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Why not just leave the computer on to download it? Doubt AOL would allow a file that big to be sent via e-mail anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blike Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 You have to download it either way, email or from a server. Chances are that the server will be faster. HL2 next month? ::pees like an excited dog:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 well when you encode it as an e-mail attachment it's gonna get bigger anyway, so I'd definately go for the server option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHinfcube22 Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 But if it is zipped, which compresses it...It would be much smaller...How 'bout this then...someone download, zip it, and then upload it onto another server...that way I'm still downloading it off the net, not e-mail, and it is not 84 Mb...All the servers out there so far only have the exe file, not the zip,so it'll take me 4 hours to download it...

Dave Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 It's already compressed in the installer, so zipping it wouldn't make it smaller by a significant amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHinfcube22 Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 zipping the installer I mean...its way too huge...MY COMPUTER IS A 800mhz, 192 mb, GATEWAY WITH WINDOWS MILLENIA FOR FAFALONE'S SAKE!...help me those, you are my only hope...sorta...oh well...

Dave Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Inside the installer is the compressed data that will eventually be decompressed and put onto your hard drive. If you've ever tried zipping something twice, you'll find that when you zip it the second time, it doesn't get much smaller at all, by a matter of kb. If I zipped the installer and sent it to you, I'd be very surprised if the file size went down by more than half a meg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 It would be easier to burn it to disc and SNAILMAIL it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHinfcube22 Posted December 18, 2003 Author Share Posted December 18, 2003 But Thief 3 is going to be way better...Its light graphics are going to be the best until someone rips them off...Its graphics are amazing!...and the storyline is awesome...can't beat it with a stick...Oh well...

atinymonkey Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 But people told me Thief 1 and 2 were fantastic. I played them, and honest to God, I thought I had died. All my body functions slowed down, my logic pathways ceased to process the information. I'm pretty certain a large chunk of my consciousness simply stopped functioning. If the cats hadn't jumped on me, I'd just have slipped away from the unending bordom into death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
