Order on CD?
by Brian Wilde · in Torque Game Engine · 03/18/2003 (7:13 pm) · 4 replies
Is it possible to buy the Torque engine and have it shipped to me on CD? I only see an option for 'download' when I click on "buy". I've read where the suggestion is 'start the download and go to bed', but I'm lucky if I get a 24,600 bps dial-up connection at home.
Thanks,
Brian.

I believe they stopped offering it on CD this year.

I also ordered the CD but I wanted to get my hands on the source ASAP. So what I did was bought one of those Pre-Paid Internet cards. I bought one for about $300Php (roughly $6 USD) and connected. The connection was around 21.6kbps and it took WinCVS around 6 hours (I think) to donwnload. Now, what I do is just "update" the code using WinCVS and the longest one that it took was when there was a lot of changes on the Vehicle code ... around 15minutes.
What Im saying is that the first download with WinCVS will take some time ... after that its a breeze.

I live in the Philippines and only the rich can get a broadband connection so I just use a dial-up modem.I also ordered the CD but I wanted to get my hands on the source ASAP.
