Downloading patches?

[menthel]

Where do you peeps download your game patches from? I am only getting speeds of about 70kb/sec from most of the big ones! I am also a cheapskate and don't really want to pay.

[Mad-Max]

Well I try

http://www.3dgamers.com/

http://www.gamershell.com/

http://www.fileplanet.com/

and I even try bittorrent some times to for patches.

Where can I get nice, safe torrents?

the multiplay ftp website keeps a few patches which i normally get about 1000k/bs on

http://clanservers.multiplay.co.uk/?p=/ftpfiles.php%3F

doesnt have a huge selection but you might get lucky

The official websites are often quite good for download speeds.

I guess my problem is these are relatively old games (Dawn of war, dark crusade and the warhammer one!) so they may not be that well served.

www.filemirrors.com once you know the rough filename!
Its a god-send for old patches

don't these update in game anyway? (although I had a problem downloading the patch in Vista through the game for these so I just used fileplanet or let X-fire do it.

Exactly. I have installed xfire now so will hopefully let it update. My xfire name is same as here if anyone wants to add me.

i use fileplanet for my donwloads or gamershell.com

I usually download it once, then keep em on my file server for when I reinstall...

100mb/sec - overheads is quicker than 8mb ADSL...

The Demonoid tracker is, as a rule, safe for torrents.

If you want to give it a try and you need a referral, give me a shout

i sometimes use the blueyonder ftp site but i dont know how frequently it gets updated, or by who, has demos and patches for a lot of old games tho

[0iD]

Fileplanet or http://www.gameborder.com/ for me

[Barrichello]

www.fileshack.com ftw

free downloads at approx 300kbps - never wait more than a min or so

3dgamers usually holds very old patches too. For new games I usually download from official website. If official website is too slow I just google for alternative mirror and usually directed to those website listed above.
