I'm not quite sure why nobody here has mentioned p2p, that together with
Bittorrent seems to me more effective than breaking down the mission in 65
small parts (ok I'm just lazy really).
I'll put it into LimeWire or Shareaza folder so people can get it via
Gnutella (2). I think Shareaza also does Torrent but I've had problems with
connections through the firewall from outside on that comp so it will
probably be Limewire and Gnutella.
My connection is 576 p/s so relatively slow, but maybe a few more people
could do the same.

It's nice to have a four day week and Fridays off.

That's indeed great news, mate; we've all been waiting for this for a
long, long time. Too bad that I'm drenched in exams 'til early June :/

Nothing concrete, I'm afraid. I know that several authors are neck-deep in
the mysteries of the T3Ed, and many FMs are on their way -- eventually.
Komag's T3 FM Contest has been pushed back due to real life interfering with
Komag's taffing schedules. He also wants to finish his own T3Ed tutorial.
The contest was supposed to start in a couple of weeks, but now we're
looking at a start date somewhere in June. Give a couple of months from
that, maybe three, and we should see several contest entries.

But before that, I'm sure we'll see a few T3 FMs. No one's announced
anything yet, or posted real screenies, but seeing how busy the T3 Editors'
Guild is, many FMs are definitely on their way. It'll still be a while,
though. Up until now it has pretty much been getting to grips with the
editor, learning its quirks, helping others out in basic stuff, building
supporting tools and writing tutorials, documenting stuff in the Fleshworks
Wiki, and so on. Much of the energy, time and resources has been spent on
getting all that together. Now it's getting close to the point where the
groundwork has been laid, and the real building can begin.

Well, the T2X should carry us well over the waiting period. I'm really
excited to see what it'll be like.

I'm sure my 56k modem will deal with that exceptionally nicely

I miss my broadband....

I have ADSL, about 128kb/s up. I had the Keeper of the Prophecies
Episodes 5-9 file up for a few days recently, and I don't mind doing the
same with T2X once it comes out. I mostly don't use the outgoing data
pipe anyway.

Objekt

can anyone recommend a *free* download manager to help me download this
when if comes out? something that'll work with win98se and latest
version of firefox? have installed FlashGot, so most popular download
manager will talk to firefox no problem...
