STO Free Open Beta - First Come, First Serve
« on: January 12, 2010, 01:46:50 pm »
Thanks to Tecknik for pointing this out.

Star Trek Online is opening their beta to everyone via Fileplanet. Fileplanet says it is first come first serve, though, so act now if you're interested. Since SWTOR is Spring 2011, can't hurt to check it out.

Downloading the torrent now.

EDIT: When downloading the torrent, make sure your download/upload settings are optimized for your connection.  I was getting like 80 kb/s down, and 43 kb/s up.  I ran BitTorrent's speed guide, and used the settings they gave me.  Now I'm getting 300-400 kb/s down, and 38 kb/s up.

I've tried downloading twice from Fileplanet, and it says that my file is corrupted. And even after doing the Speed Guide thing for the torrent, I can't seem to get above 80 kb/s.

I'm re-downloading from Fileplanet through their download manager... hopefully that will help. I'll be playing by tonight if it kills me.

My computer restarted last night for updates, so my download got cut off.  I resumed it this morning and it was at 63% or so.  Hopefully it'll be done when I get home.  

I was trying to RDP in to check the status and possibly run the install, but for some reason I can't connect.  Router is running, and connection is good.  Must have set something wrong on my home computer.

Another download link. I'm getting 700kb/s. I should be done in three hours. Thank God.

Have you told your router to forward RDP connections to your computer's IP address?  Port 3389 (RDP) is the specific port that needs to be forwarded to your computer.  Depending on the age of your router you'll either have to set up a custom Rule or choose from one of the existing port forwarding rules.

BTW I finished downloading it overnight, all I need now is one of those Damn keys.

Yep, done all that.  It's got to be something with my desktop, because I connect to my laptop all the time without problems.
