On the plus side, all the squawking about "large hak files" that was present during NWN1 is probably a thing of the past in NWN2. If the module is 150 megs, who cares if the hak adds another 20 or 40?  It's pretty much in for a penny - in for a pound at that point. And as you know first -hand - on a practical basis, accommodating dial-up users is no longer a real prqactical consideration for NWN2 module authors.In terms of dealing with such large file sizes and 28.8, you might  look into a download manager with download resume as a low tech means of coping.My only other suggestion is to look into a satellite ISP provider.  It's poor upstream speed - but the downstream speed is vastly higher than what you have now. A complaint to the CRTC about poor service and unavailability of proper data transmission over POTS - not to mention lack of ADSL - couldn't hurt. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. You'd be surprised at the value of such letters in the Commission's file when it comes tim for license renewal.  Bitching at your MP about the same issue rarely hurts either.Where in Canada are you located?</blockquote>
