MG Download Poll

Modem
Average dl speed 5kb/s on a good day with a tail wind
Size of download 935MB

Oh yes, I have absolutely no problem downloading all MG casinos so I can play exactly the same games in a different wrapper. I can hardly contain my excitement.
I am expecting them all to be fully downloaded by 2055. I must remember to change my will and bequeath the joy of playing them to some lucky family member.

My pc has absolutely no problem playing the games, the problem is when I hit spin, the request has to tunnel through the brick wall of download requests (of completely unwanted games-please note) to get to the games server and then try and navigate its way back. Sometimes on good days it is only 5 minutes between spins. Its pretty wonderful because a low roller like me can play on the slots for weeks on a small deposit

I voted 'No' to this specific question.
Although time consuming I'm not too worried about the amount of hard-drive they use up. (My drive is only 51.6GB)
At a quick count I have 19 MG's installed & 1/3 drive space left.

When I want to download a new MG I simply launch the loader & let it run overnight. I don't even bother trying to play any games until everything is fully installed, which normally only takes 7-8 hours...

However, if the question had been "Do you find it extremely bloody irritating that MG forces you to download loads of CRAP you don't want" I would have voted 'YES' 68 times!

I can't really complain, but it IS annoying. I have about 200G free, and 3mb DSL, so bw and space aren't really an issue.

I've never had a problem downloading, it's entering and playing.. slow as heck on this old beast.. they play better on my boys computer... but I can never get near that one! except at night..

BTW if I download and install on thiers and our computers are both hooked up to the main hub are the ip addresses different?'

99% of the time they will be the same.

In some instances, ISP's will hand out a "block" of static IP addresses to your router, and each computer using that router will have its own *public* IP address.

The good news is that most all ISP's don't do that unless you ask for them, so you should be safe

Yeah its following install thats the problem.

Regards IP, probably the same as your ISP will have allocated one IP to your connection so unless you're using different ISP accounts...
