Hooray for my dial-up vote.
Allow me a few pre-emptive strikes, if you will.
No, I can't simply buy a better connection. There isn't one to buy in the first place.
No, I'm not dumb enough to use something like Direcway.
Anywho I fill up my various harddrives by going to a friend's house on the weekends. He has a modest 1.5mb DSL connection. And since I'm a LAN party kinda guy, I don't mind hauling my PC around.
