Yes, PST is Pacific Standard Time (GMT -8 hours: December 15th, 6:00-10:00).

Exact link will be on the main site, hopefully. :wink:

Well, I've been looking at the CeQuadrat's site this very moment and there is a link to Free 30-day trial version on the left...

Let's hope there'll ba a full, unlimited edition at the mentioned time.

Where did you find this information, Han?

Han,

The trial version link has been there for about two weeks. Where did you hear that they were going to allow download of the full version?

Hmm, should we at CDRLabs feel miffed that we didn't get invited directly? :( :wink:

Yes, I'm miffed. Aren't you? :wink:

However, it hasn't set off the alarm on my miff quotient index. :D

Could the site be any slower?

To be expected. But I'm not even getting slow response - just 404 errors (page not found) :(

I can't get the link to open on my browser!

Could be there are about 500,000 people trying to download starting at 10:00 PM? :-?

And someone probably forgot to set the correct download URL. :roll:

I just got a copy. Only 750 KBytes - seems small. I haven't tried to install it yet.

The small program is just a download starter. The main program is 79,278 KB. I'm downloading it now. :wink:

That's what I was afraid of. Almost 80 MBytes!!! Good heavens! I retract my previous statement. Seems BIG

will running the installer install the program on my computer?
or can the file be saved and later moved to another computer?

OK, got as far as accepting their spam. The next screen shows an "invoice" that says download unavailable at the bottom.

Yep, but that's GOOD if you have a fast connection.

This must be the full retail program. :D

The file will be saved and can be moved later. It can also be restarted if the download is stopped for any reason. :wink:

I have about 25MB now out of about 80 MB.

I hope for the sake of those with slow dial-up connections that the installer program will allow them to continue or even resume downloading after the four-hour window is up.

yeah, i was thinking that too...

cfitz, would you mind, when your d/l is done, to post here the MD5 checksum for verification?

Holy Sh :o t, that is big! Thank God for broadband!! I actually got it by starting from scratch and abandoning my first attempt. Anyways, I know it will be worth the hassle!
