What you want to do is download WinRAR, extract the game, which should be a convinient ISO file, then you want to burn it to a Dual Layer DVD-R ;)

No, never have used Rogers. I'm a bit sceptical of SecureIX myself but it certanly sounds good.

woo i got the sexureix thing on my comp and it seems to be actually working. I'm not sure if it messed with my connection or anything but it seems to be working for now but my comp is pretty messed so it might break down but its actually working. It's no substitute to an actual isp that doesn't block torrents but it's not bad and i think im gonna use it untill the end of the month when im gonna get bell WOO ;)

Do you mean that SecureIX messed up your computer and might break it or things were that way before SecureIX?

well im half way done my download and i realized that sexureix isn't really helping, it's just that's it a small torrent and i have about 100 seeders but then again it's better than 0kb/s. lol and it doens't mess your comp lol, i was just saying that im not really sure and my computer sux really bad so im hoping it's not gonna do anything. Also i was pretty sure my self that it wasn't going to super boost my speeds because if it did it would probably have more publicity. It doesn't really help much but im using it just in case

kk so i've used for about a few hours and no it doesn't. Unless there are some setting you have to change or something but for me it didn't make any difference. My download speeds are still bad and it is truly impossible to get by rogers if you live in gta

don't overkill yourself ps3rocks. LOL.. If I were u, I would delete that program since its just a waste of memory. OH, by the way, alot of my friends told me that bell is the same as rogers. Nothing different. Some even say that bell really suck balls compared to Rogers. I mean, even though rogers really is a bummer, I will just stick to it.

lol yea, i've seen it on other threads and they claim that it was helping them alot before but rogers started to block sexureix or something like that and they found out how to throttle you even if you use it. Bottom line... you can't get a decent download speed if you use rogers in the gta. Only bell sympatico can save us now. Oh and what pisses me off the most is that rogers extreme is supposed to be made to share big folders and files. Now there telling us that there is a 60gig cap per month and their blocking torrents. I mean what kinda bull **** is that!!!!

this is just a tip for people that have rogers and other isp's that block torrents. Don't dl stuff during the weakend because that's when rogers really throttles your downloads. On friday night i was going pretty fast but over the weakend it's gained like 1%. The best times are weakdays; usually early morning or late night.

I mean i think if i call them and ask i'll probably throw red flags! i'm not sure though. and, do u think the program peer guardian is enough to hide urself or is there another one out better than this? should i use this with another? thanx
