My friend and I one time downloaded a HUGE pack of fonts ... it was like 80MB of fonts and took over 24 hours.

Granted this was back in the day ... we were using a 33.6 modem (not 56K).  I can't remember any significant downloads on the old 56K modem.  Haven't used on in years.  Been fortunate to have broadband everywhere since 2001.

Serbia is a small and poor country so it is possible that there are some 33.6 modems in somebodys PC.

LOL this is the stupidiest topic ever ( this was our chance to be the winner of something in this glorius forum)

I downloaded a movie or two with my dial-up. It took me like 3 days straight, on a 28 k connection.

So how many MB it was?

they were ussaully around two cd's worth, which I think is 1400 meg?

So than you are the first SNIF  :'(

Well SILVER IS GREAT TOO!!!! ;D

I have a 56k modem and the biggest thing I've downloaded would be about 12MB. It took ages! ;D
I can't believe that you would download that much Squinky! :o

Back in the day when i had dial-up, i wouldn't attempt to download anything over 20 MB because i knew it would take forever.  But when i switched to DSL 2 years ago, i downloaded anything i could get my hands on.  I downloaded the DOOM3 demo with broadband, and that still took awhile at 400+ MB. I feel sorry for the folks still using dial-up.

Once you go broadband, you will never go back.

Here is some of the stuff I downloaded with an extremely slow 56k modem. (and only one phone line, too!)

- Cream Drums Soundfont: 129 megs
- The Longest Journey Demo: 80 megs
- Free drum sampleset: 112 megs
- NSKit7 free: 70 megs

I think I downladed a movie aswell... I believe it was "House of a Thousand Corpses." That was about 200MB.

I know I downloaded other stuff, but I can't remember.

Thanks to God we are still 3rd damn you [lgm] :)

i have a wireless internet connection. sometimes, it seems like i'm still using dial-up because my brothers are always playing wow.

I would just turn it on at night, and use a download assistant. I had a pager if work needed me, heh...

I think the biggest single file I ever downloaded on a 56k modem was "The Dark Eye" off the Home of the Underdogs site.

335mb, took about two days I think. Disaster struck though, and there were a few bytes corrupted in the download. Not wanting to download the whole thing again I somehow found the corrupted part of the file, cut off the end, tricked it into re-downloading that section and appended the end of the original download back on again.
Well, that's my geeky dial-up war-story.

I downloaded Half Life 2 through Steam once ... how big is THAT game? 4 Gig? O_o

But then again I have a 64k leased line ... It still counts though, right?

I downloaded 330 mb of a game from HOTU. I also got a few other 100mb plus games.

It ended up not working.

I also downloaded 600 mb of movie once, but it turned out to be a fake file. Interestingly there was a strange occurance that made it download at 40kb/sec at times, on a 56k modem. I know this is impossible, but it came down in just a few hours, and windows seemed to think there was hundreds of mb of file there.

yeah I downloaded Snatcher back in the day for oh, 100ish megabytes. Let me check... 118

not as impressive as other stuff, but it seemed as quite a lot back then.

Well you are better but that is only for a while WE WILL BE BACK :D

My biggest modem aquiry is about 70mbs :/

However the single biggest download I've done is 35gb on broadband. 2 months it took me

This is not the biggest file ever downloaded but regarding all the circumstances I suppose it is a remarkable feat:

Once I downloaded 278 Megs of zipped movies for my cellphone directly over the air to phone through GPRS. No computer involved, the speed being roughly of the speed of 56kb modem.

My log now says: Data received: 1,15 GB
                            Data sent: 147,59 MB

Not bad for a pocket device  :)

Indeed. I dream of having dual-gprs on my phone. mmm... isdn....

I can't get a download assistant anywhere so I would have to download it! :=
