caddymanGood God. It's Wednesday; how did that happen?
Furtle has gone to work leaving me to keep an eye on the Warcrack update she started downloading.
Why is there no equivalent for data downloads of Asimov's three laws of robotics? I suggest Lea's three laws of downloading:
Refinements to these three rules may be made from time to time.

Why is there no equivalent for data downloads of Asimov's three laws of robotics? I suggest Lea's three laws of downloading:
1) All critical downloads will take ten minutes longer than the time available for the download. Unless:
2) If you have an entire day to download fewer than 100 megabytes, the server will hang and will not come online until rule 1) can apply. Unless:
3) If a critical patch takes only the time, or less, to download that is available, it will inevitably be corrupted and require a second attempt, to which rule 1) will apply.
Refinements to these three rules may be made from time to time.
