Sitting here for the last 6 hours eagerly awaiting the finish of my 30meg quake3 mod d/l to finish. 4hours pass i look over and see it going strong , my 28k connection pushing itself to the limit, 5 hours later once again i look over and still to my amazment the 28k connection is rattling out the k's. Then i look again WooWoo says me as i see it hitting the 98% mark. My excitied self gagging to play the mod . Next thing i hear is a loud ""CLICK"", My blood ran cold, the hairs stood up on my back, i closed my eyes and turned my head into the direction of my old batterd up compaq, one eye opens and i get this blury picture, so i procceed to open the second eye and ..... ** OH FUCK!!!** yes you guessed it .. With one percent left of the download .. my trusty ISP Esatclear said to themselves, "99%.. ?? Yep i think he has enough of that d/l done .. okay Joe Bloggs disconnect him" . You know it amazes me .. Ya know normally i would put it down to a shit modem , fucked phones lines or even just my ISP being total cock .... But now .. I am convinced they know .. They pick on me .. they watch my d/l's like hawks after there pray and when the time is right they strike. You know i have visions of this big fat over grown sack of spuds sitting in a empty room the lights off, nothing to be seen but a red light , and the red light is the glowing light of his customized switch to disconnect me .. He sits there day and night .. Food gets past under the door of the room , water gets poured in from a pipe in the ceiling .. but there is nothing else in there but him , a desk , 1 wooden chair and the customized glowing red "lets disconnect Cobra" switch .. And i can even see it now .. 2 knocks at the door when i am at 98% telling the guy to get ready .. and then 1 large bang on the door when i hit 99% . and everyone shouts " Move move move .. Disconnect NOW!!" and the fat over grown sack of spuds in the dark room with his desk , 1 wooden chair and his customized glowing red "Lets disconnect cobra" switch, smacks down on the switch with all his strentgh making damn sure it disconnects me good and propper. Well anyway as you can guess there is not much of a point to this text, just somin i wrote to ramble on about how pissed off i get everytime i get disconnected with only 1% remaining. So anyway there is a few leasons to be learned here . Leason #1 : Make sure you d/l your programs using Go Zilla or some fucked up D/l management software .. It pays off in the long run. Leason #2 : Always stick yer fingers up at a fat guy that looks like he has been locked in a dark room for a long time with his hand over a glowing red "Lets disconnect Cobra" switch. Leason #3 : Remember , remember , remember, its always "The Last Percent" .. Mwuhahahahaha Cobby
