The size for 2.0 was around 120meg last time i cheaked :/ bad for us 56ks like a 8 hour download.
Last time i checked my Half-Life folder was about on 5gigs. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
Jasp... don't know how you managed to deduce that the team has no time for a patch... I think they would probably do that.
A patch would be really nice <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.
Thier was a post about this about 1 week ago and the playtesters plus vets said a patch was most likely not possible as so much has changed in the game.
Junk? omg watch it!

And updating NS instead of doing a clean install will save space how?
And yeah, a patch is very tiresome to do.
And with something like this, doubtful is even possible.
AOL should be shot, cut up, and have all its cruddy ash plates thrown back at their face. They cut your bandwidth in half for crying out loud! They have practically the same service as a free ISP does... not that there are many left. I used to use netzero... eh going off on a tangent.
I guess a patch is impossible ... and btw, Getright doesn't boost your speed for 56k. Segmented downloading is bugged ... at least for me. It messes up my files. Get Netants... Getright is just a lame piece of advertising crap now -- packed with spyware and the like. Netants is not only free, it doesn't take 5 seconds to load and is quite stable and unbugged. Every since getright 3.0 it's been going downhill.

Just in case someone needs some linkage: <a href='http://www.netants.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.netants.com/</a>
Its good for resuming downloads or downloading files when you have more mirrors (say you can download 20KB/s but the server lets you download maximally 5KB/s so you add another mirrors to fill your bandwidth). But on 56k modem, you still CANNOT get over about 7KB/s, more likely you will get something like 6KB/s, thats its physical limit. If you will be downloading at 56k theoretical maximum speed it will still take 5 hours to download 120MB.

What you are talking about is not getright, its GoZilla. I use GetRight and theres no single advertising window or such and no spyware.

The update wil not save your HDD space, if you have something like 100MB NS1.0 (dont know how much exactly it has and i am lazy to look) and some 50MB NS2.0 patch it will be more MBs than 120MB NS2.0.

Reliable, assuming you configure it properly, free, and no spyware.
If it is indeed the case that there will be no patch, it's a slight annoyance, but it won't stop me getting 2.0 anyway. ( also, NS is a pretty popular mod, so I wouldn't be surpised to see it appearing on a few PC mag coverdisks..)
