[RPGNow] Three-in-one files?

[Christopher Lambert]

I'm currently downloading "The Qalashar Device", which is a monster for someone with a dial-up connection and only one phone line. It's about 11 MB in size and takes me over 1.5 hours to download.

It comes with three files - a text-only version, a text-plus-map version, and a full picture version. All three come in one single zip file.

It I could just download only the second file, I would only need to spend about half and hour downloading the one file.

I find the same thing with a lot of downloads from RPGNow.

Is there any way of changing that?

It's done like that because for a long time people complained that there weren't various versions.

And RPGNow doesn't provide an option to select which version(s) you want, so publishers would have to create separate sale items for each version and I would think that's kind of frowned upon.

Check with the publisher's home page next time -- if they have their own online store, they might have the options available for equal or varying prices.
