File size?

[k4llu5]

Being the game is gonna be about 3-4 times larger, I'm guessing the file size for download will be about 1.2-1.5 GB. Perhaps larger I don't know.

[hawkn]

Is this an issue? I have probably 300 gigs still available, and 600 used....

[k4llu5]

Good for u...

What exactly would be the issue with that though? Most games now are around that 2-3gb mark and if you don't have room for it then someone needs to do some cleaning...

I got you beat hawkn with 1.5tb free and 500gb used Terabyte externals are ridiculously cheap now adays.

Could be an issue of "I live in the country areas where there is no Broadband internet". Downloading 1 gb would take 50 hours or more at 5.6kbps.

Either it's Microsoft's compression for XBLA titles or Runic found a way to compress their files better, the 360 version of Torchlight is under 200mb.

I was assuming the OP was implying they didn't have enough HDD space available. Which confused me, because most computers (even 5 or more years old) had 80+ gig HDDs. Freeing up 1-5 gigs doesn't seem too hard.

Maybe I'm spoiled with my connection speeds now, but even when TL 1 came out, I only had 150 kbps, but I managed.

I only use my 1TB external for backups of media, and OS backups. My HDD is 1TB too, but idk what I'm going to do with this PC, because of all the issues I've been having. It's highly probable though that replacing the generic RAM that came with the computer will fix my blue screens, and I'll never speak of this again.... But spending $50 on 4 gigs of replacement RAM isn't too appealing atm.

Download a program called hw monitor, it may just be a heat issue that can be fixed with a can of compressed air or a leaf blower

Ah I never thought about it being an internet problem. Buy the boxed version then? Pretty sure there's a boxed version... If it isn't available in your area then I don't know. Download it over night? That's just one of the flaws of downloading a game instead of getting a boxed version I suppose.

Dial up is too fancy for me -- I use tin can and string internet.

I would bet the boxed version will be sold over Amazon. TL1's boxed version was.
It might also be sold online through places like Gamestop, since they stock TL1 on their shelves in-store.
So even if it's not sold in his area, he could still just have it delivered.

[k4llu5]

I was just lookin for insight to what people thought the amount would be, not that it was an issue.

[hawkn]

At least 5 gigs would not surprise me.

[amb2010]

Ah well then. I'll guess 3-4gb.

[Arkham]

At least 5 gigs would not surprise me.

In terms of installer size, it seems like they'd probably try to fit it onto 1 dvd for the boxed version, which would put it under 5.
Uncompressed and installed, yeah, 5 GB or larger seems like a safe bet.

[pothb]

1 dvd can fit more than 5 gigs, there are dual layered discs after all,

[Arkham]

That's true. I hadn't thought of that. I must've been thinking of the 4.7 GB limit (well, more like 4.3-ish limit) on standard consumer-level burnable DVDs.

[adoomgod]

Sigh. Because nobody used this meme yet on this thread.
It's going to be.... OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kilobytes.

[hawkn]

That's like 9 megs.

[turnipz]

Over 9 megs, sounds somewhat reasonable.

[adoomgod]

Well I'm not wrong :]! (Seriously i know it's only 9megs. That's the point. It will be over 9 megs)
