Conqueror - A.D. 1086
 
In today's news: http://www.abandonia.com/en/node/29648
it says that .....all this awesome weighs in at a massive 221MB, which makes this game the largest Abandonia has ever hosted. Therefore, this game will take a while to download over 56k dial-up or low-end DSL may take a very long time (about 1 hour and 8 minutes over dial-up).

Well the math is very wrong, at 56k dial-up which is 56 kilobits that is maximum 7 kilobytes a second total; (usually the max download speed over dial-up is 6Kbs because the dial-up connection has to send information both ways i.e. what has been received and what still needs to be received and where to send it etc. etc.) so it would take about 12 hours to download 231,546,016 bytes which is the size of the game zip archive.

In Expack's defense, it's a relatively easy mistake to make if one is used to seeing K / KB as an abbreviation for kilobytes. :)
Corrected.

Yeah, downloading over 200 MB in an hour is not what I remember from dial-up... XD
