Problem with zip/rar updates is that most compaanies don't trust their constumers to extract files correctly. "I put my files in the wrong place. How do I delete the new ones but leave the right ones?" and so on. Would cause more of a headache for them.

That would be one way to solve it, though. Having a queue system would be nice.

Bit torrent wouldn't fix this. It's more like DoS then anything else....

A queue system would be nice except the fact that do you like to wait infront of modem users?

If anyone you read that article about how much the people who make EQ1 make per year in profits (i thnk it was like millions) and have been for years, i thnk FFXI is in the same position, just I think they are stingy with their money to keep their profits very superply high so their shareholders are happy -_- I mean come on at least 500,000 subscribers x 12.95 at least, a month is millions i believe and they cant fork over less than 5% of that monthly profit for top end 2005 server software and hardware so PS2 and PC users everywhere can update successfully anytime anyday of the month, the same month which they have payed for 12.95 in advance at least not including additional fees such as addiditional content IDs.....greedy a$$ Square-Enix, at least they are investing alot of money into FFXII...

And blizzard charges $14.95 for WoW which doesn't even have its own servers to update. Your point?

Bit torrent sounds really nice, but it was never ment for distro in this manner, it was ment to share large files and maintain bandwith.

WoW hasnt been around as long as FFXI has, FFXI been here for years already and we still have these stupid congestition BS. My point is that Square-Enix should be more generous and spend slightly more to get rid of easy nuisaneces such as the ones we face time again n again for years with the updates.
