Youngy Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 thanks for heads up.. spotted this before the email. Downloading speed is almost at stand still.. Why dont MS use a private BitTorrent network to distribute, would certainly make sense after all the hammering their servers take on release days like today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fog Dogg Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Heh, 99% done with 500kb left and the server dropped my connection and I can't connect anymore. I'll finish up later, but yeah, bittorrent would really help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger H. Veteran Posted March 14, 2006 Veteran Share Posted March 14, 2006 F%@# the MPAA and the RIAA! LOL... I don't use BT or anything but i'm sure 90% of the people downloading movies don't get them from there. newsgroups and IRC is where most downloading occurs as far as i know (as well as some other p2p networks still alive out there) Oh well, downloading stopped again. I wish i got on 20mins before i really did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one321 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 No way, that would promote LEGAL uses for Bittorrent and I doubt the MPAA and RIAA would like that! Exactly. Don't go showing how it can be used for good, legal reasons. It almost ****es me off thinking about the speeds we could all be getting if we were sharing with a torrent.

Allan Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 No way, that would promote LEGAL uses for Bittorrent and I doubt the MPAA and RIAA would like that! what's wrong with legal uses for Bittorrent? *LOL* Screw the MPAA and RIAA ... they can't hurt us Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splur Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Well, hopefully this isn't as disappointing as office 12 beta. I tried writing an essay in o12. big mistake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaffra Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 it seems a bit more faster/responsive than the first beta. hopefully theres better themes instore, i dont like the luna, and obsidian has too much constrast with the page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one321 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Well, hopefully this isn't as disappointing as office 12 beta. I tried writing an essay in o12. big mistake... Yeah, I made mistakes like that several times. You gotta be thinking SAVE the whole time you are using the beta or else you could get yourself into trouble. I don't know if a lot of you have test machines to run things like that, but I usually just use my main PC. It's all good. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostdraconi Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Its a bit faster but there are still some fuzzy icons lurking about. The dark theme is really dark :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkyoshi Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I never had any problem with the first beta (every single time it crashed, it recovers my documents, but as I see, I guess it didn't make so for everyone...) Oh this usually happens when you do last minute homework ;) I was doing a spreadsheet in Excel and it kept crashing over and over. I saw that "It appears that Microsoft Office is Crashing Frequently" box many many times while i was trying to finish my assignment hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one321 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 How can I get a invite for this office? You needed to apply for an invitation quite a while back. I don't know if they would be letting any more people in. They might be and I could be wrong, but I think you are out of luck. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be and I could be wrong, but I think you are out of luck. :( I wonder if they are going to do this in waves...I signed up for this the very first day the page went live...Even before the page processed anything I applied for it.

I8PP Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Its a bit faster but there are still some fuzzy icons lurking about. The dark theme is really dark :no: How do you switch the theme?
