What do you do when games are downloading?

[LetalisK]

Sleep. Unless a game is really small, I always download games overnight, even if they only need two hours.

 

[Kris015]

Mastu- uhm... I play games on my iPod usually.

 

[Communist partisan]

I

[Voodoomancer]

I look at threads on the escapist about what I do while games are downloading.

...or Minecraft.

ok so I'm currently downloading the Mass Effect 2 demo off of Playstation Store and am wondering, what do YOU do while games load? I am just browsing the forums here, nothing special

With 20 mbit/sec there is not much waiting time involved.

*cracks a stupid grin*

Do you just live next to the internet HQ!?! At best I get about 5 Mbit/secs, and thats at off peak times with nobody else using the internet...

I read and go on the escapist. I just started my Company of Heroes download and "A Child Called IT."

 

[Wintermoot]

go on the internet a bit or play some other games on my PC

My download is at 487.89 Mbit/s upload at 13 Mbit/s though.

 

[CopperBoom]

Wank.
Oh lordy do I wank.

 

[bassdrum]

It depends how long the download bar is. If it's short, I watch it. If not, I play another game or watch TV.

 

[tlozoot]

Spent about 3 hours reading Sherlock Holmes for Uni while I was downloading Undead Nightmare the other day. Lord is my internet slow sometimes...

 

[Goldeneye103X2]

I swear that if you play PS3 disc based games whilst something is downloading, the file becomes corrupt. I don't advise you touch your PS3 until it's finished downloading. Which is probabbly what you were doing anyway.

Either browse 'round the internet or play other demos and such.

 

[Anah'ya]

My download is at 487.89 Mbit/s

*Cracks even bigger grin*

Woah.

Industrial connection much? What server allows you 400mbit/s? They tend to cap before that. In fact, I do call BS upon your claim Not even our corporate MPLS lines are able to match that speed.

Great gamers think alike I suppose.

[Knusper]

I'm waiting for one game to download right now

So yeah, post on the Escapist, or watch some Zero Punctuation or Loading Ready Run. Possibly play another game, but of course the bandwidth is being used up, and so I have to stick to singleplayer.

 

[Crossborder]

Listen to some music and browse forums, all of which I'm doing right now.
Actually, the download's finished. Those damn World At War patches take long as shit to install.
Oh well, I can still amuse myself with The Escapist and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
