Hey guys, thought i'd make a quick post here. For those of you that don't know what usenet / newsgroups are have a read of this http://www.slyck.com/ng.php. Basicly me and my gaming pals were downloading the new version yesterday and could only achieve a 200kb/s download on our super speedy 20meg connections (usually 2.3mb/s at off peak depending where you download from). So bascily i took the liberty to upload all the patches to alt.binaries.game for all you people who have super fast usenet access. Here are the NZBs Client:: empires_v2_1_client empires_v2_1_client_patch empires_v2_11_client_hotfx Server:: empires_v2_1_server empires_v2_1_server_patch Hope this helps people get hooked up faster, thanks for the new patch guys i'm loving it :D. Feel free to add these to the download mirrors section. o/ DK
