Download speed induced rant
Bought a new graphics card on Amazon, got a free game. Cool, there was no mention of it on the Amazon info page.
So, I set about to redeem this game code. :)
First, I have to log on to Nvidia's website to get another code. Then, I have to log on to Ubisoft's website to get yet another code. Of course, you can't just redeem a code, they want your life history and that of your paternal grandmother before you get anything.
Then, I must install Uplay to download the game. It's a big download and it started off well enough...was getting about 2 MB download speeds until it hit 85%. Then *BAM* it's dial-up speed time!
Seeing as how I'm a mostly level-headed person, I think that there could be a problem with my connection or my PC. Nope, the Speedtest.net results are typical of what I usually get.
Aaarrrrgh!
