Hello everyone, I have downloaded PS first when I had Dial-up. I still remember waiting a week for the download to finish. So, I have decided to help Dial-up users download the game.

I have Used the program "WinRAR" to divide the Installer into several pieces, roughly about 10MB each. I have uploaded them to a server. It can be found here: http://planeshift.110mb.com
There is enough bandwidth for 500 full downloaded files. The instructions are on the site.

@Devs and Moderators: Feel free to post this in the list of mirrors on the front page. If you do, credit me, please :)


edit: WHAT THE?! WHy did I post this in the Problems section?! Mods, please move this.

lol, well i suppose you know what you are doing, but...
why did you hide the rar parts links inside these buttons? ;P Everyone hate them exactly because of this.
Of course you can look to source code... but i doubt it is worth the efford. Better use some downloading program, like old getright, and just wait till it download. (of course not your rar parts, because no one like to click 25 times ;))

But if you help someone, i gues it was worth.

Placing the rar parts inside one file would defeat the purpose of the whole website.
The purpose is if people can not download very large files and need to download smaller parts. These parts are roughly 10Mb each with the last part being 3.5MB, making them fairly small and quick to download for dial-up users.
