    Downloading as we speak. I've always been really curious about the Diablo games, I'm approaching this a complete Diablo newbie.

    They've been closed beta testing for a long time now, this is just stress testing before the final release in a couple of weeks.

    I know you're jesting, but it's usually to find out how many servers/bandwidth etc. they need to hire in the initial period.

    Re: Diablo 3 Open Beta Weekend

    saw this about 10minutes ago, downloading now... servers VERY slow or is just my terrible internet connection... again?.

    So glad they are releasing this beta, i can finally confirm if i like d3 or its a flop for me personally, i know its only like half the first act but it should be enough for me to decide .-

    Re: Diablo 3 Open Beta Weekend

    I'm getting 3MB down and about 35% through the download of the game files. Am I right in thinking ala steam I can copy the files maintaining the same structure to my friends pc to prevent him having to download the files himself?

    Servers will probably be hammered by the time I get home from work... Hopefully I can download the client before it ends on Monday....

    It was nice and fast earlier, but is likely getting hammered now that it has spread around the internet.
