Wow, I'm using intermittently available unencrypted wireless internet that's actually owned by my neighbors, and even I got the game in only two and half days.
Shit man, now you just need to be using a stolen laptop in a squat house and you're sweet.

Pirate cat doesn't pay for bandwidth, right?
Actually, I was going to actually shell it out for an internet connection, but then discovered that it was actually not that hard to find free wireless in coffee shops and at the University and so forth. The fact that my neighbors had unencrypted wireless at the time I was downloaded TS3 was something of an accident (my neighbors actually change every few months or so - some of them are more tech-savvy than others).

Heh. Codec.exe NAILED ME, even after I read everything previously warning about it. I am so dumb. I scanned it with AVAST (best anti-virus program there is, seriously) and couldn't see it. Sure enough, after I tried to install it and it failed, I got virus warnings, and WINRAR revealed that, yes, Sims3Installer.exe was really a Rar executable with codec.exe inside.
I wanted to get a copy with one of the trojans inside to see if malwarebytes would pick it up. Avast tends to only report things when they try to run, or you try to access an infected file. I torrented both versions and neither had an issue. I guess I'm lucky, or not in this case. I only wanted to satisfy my curiosity at anyrate.

Oh no, I just spent one week downloading the game, version 1.0.615.00107
Did I just waste one week? Or can I just upgrade this version? ???
I've read there's a 700MBsomething patch that allows you to upgrade from the Reloaded version to the Razor version.
Also, you may consider doing other things (multitasking) while the game is downloading, so the time isn't wasted.

The one I downloaded was the Razor1911 version of Sims 3 that had the most seeds and leech activity at Isohunt. (Torrent name: "The Sims 3 - Razor1911.torrent")
Avast has earned my undying respect. I had a rootkit one time (Alureon) that was borking my two DVD burners and making them give me the very strange Windows error "Maximum Secrets exceeded." It turns out that that is a hard-to-explain reference to a State Department regulation (I kid you not) that prohibits disks with too many "secret" areas. The word was not "hidden" or "encrypted." "Secret." Google "Maximum Secrets exceeded." People on the virus forums thought it was bullshit.
I ran about seven anti-virus and malware programs, and the only one that found the problem and fixed it was the last one, Avast.
Ones that didn't find it included:
AVG free
AVG premium
PC Tools Anti-virus
Malware MBAM (if found NOTHING)
Avira
RootRepeal
SanityClear (?)
Something else.
I was also extra-pissed-off that AVG premium didn't find it, because it specifically advertises its rootkit features in the advertising for the premium version. Bullshit. I have absolutely no respect for AVG or anything GRISOFT produces anymore. .
