A really long wait...

[Celtoi 937]

So, I was extracting one of the builds, probably alpha 7 or summat like that, and my estimated wait time goes up to like 6000 days, sometimes even 40000. Is this wierd or what? I attached a screenschot of it, it scared the crap outta me, esp since it really only took like five minutes.

WOW; impressive. That's computers for you. They're INSANE things and don't let anybody else tell you any different. Computers are insane and that's the end of it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

well.... mine tends to fix and break itself once in a while. bashing it after shutting it off usually does the trick.

PS: i'm not kidding.

That kind of downloading time/connection is what I would call Dial-Down. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=")" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

Lord! 6426 days and 21 hours... that is almost two <i>decades</i>! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

 

[Celtoi 937]

I'll tell, ya, it keeps doin that too. The highest I've ever seen it go was up to nearly 99,000 days. HOLY CRAP!!

Granted, its done in five minutes.

Pieter, youre right. Theyre insane, and now I am too.

 

[Commodore John Paul Jones]

99,000?! Wow... I thought 20 years was long... how about 271 years? Almost three <i>centuries</i>?!

 

[Celtoi 937]

And people wonder why I'm not sane, that is insane, or perhaps theyre insane...... no MY COMPUTER IS INSANE!!! AHA!!

 

[Cylon13]

Well sir, seems like you just have to go cryo-sleep for some time. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

And don't worry about being insane or whatever here because our Pieter here once admited that he has mental distortion even without asking if he can do a full broadside towards Rotterdam with his outmost Pirate-accent. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
