Mac OS X NWN Technology Demo Released

h0tblack writes "At long last the Mac OS X demo of Neverwinter Nights has been released. We now have a torrent running to get the demo distributed and take the load of off the official servers (macgamefiles should have the demo soon). Download the BitTorrent for Mac OS X client if you don't already have it. Then grab the torrent file for the tech-demo from bytemonsoon.com. After downloading the demo, PLEASE leave your BitTorrent window open, this will mean that the load is shared amongst us all and more people can download faster."

Only one full year behind schedule! BioWare is suprising us all! Next thing you know they will get the FMV working in Linux!

My modem is blazing away!

Right-o! As someone who is keen on the whole "distributed" part of the internet, I shall leave that window open as soon as my download is done. You will all have the benefit of the uplink of my 2400 baud modem! Torrent away!

Don't even run OSX

But I'm letting a torrent run on my station at work just to be a nice guy. ;)

Not that I suspect bandwidth is going to be a problem, I peaked at 2030 kB/s downloading. But I've always felt bad for mac users getting shafted and wanted to help.

Just don't tell my employer.. not sure they would be too impressed watching me output the 1300 kB/s I'm doing atm..

Okay, so I guess I see what BitTorrent is. It seems to make sense. Now, what is "OS X", and can I get it for WinME? Thx.

I got the impression that he was talking about BSD, Plan9, and VMS.

How about "Something besides pr0n and pir8ted w4r3z available by BitTorrent!"

Well, I'm sure you can get the full version of NWN from BT.

Re:Hopefully

[sebi]

I'm buying a copy for myself and every friend that has a mac and will play it.

If I make you my friend will you buy me a copy as well? I promise that I will play it.

.torrent needed for Mac?

[psoriac]

Don't tell me all nine of you hit up their 56k server and blew it up...

KIDDING! ;-)

Boy, that's one slow transfer.

[corporatemutantninja]

Doesn't this guy take potty breaks? Every time someone posts a Mac story he's STILL sitting there waiting for that 17 meg file to transfer. This has been going on for months. Somebody please give him a zip drive.

Gaming on the Mac... It's why I switched!

[XbainX]

Ok, I'm sure plenty of you have seen it, but for those of you that haven't check this (Quicktime format) out. If you weren't convinced that gaming on a Mac is totally awesome, you will be now!

Props to redvsblue.com and their work.
