Download wait Poll

Azimaith · 11-10-2003, 02:26 AM

I think most of us download files from the internet, often times you run across pages that say: "Download will begin automatically in 5 seconds." Below this they usually have a link to click if the download doesn't start automatically, do you click it or do you wait?

No offense, but I think some people, I won't say what people because Azimaith would get upset, have a bit TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS!
Anyways, I click it only if the download doesn't start in four and a half seconds.

You know, that is extremely rude to say. Don't say it again. [img]smile.gif[/img]
