What's actually the difference between the GDI-disk and the NOD-disk??

The Install notes for XP didn't elaborate on this. (it only said Either disk as in one of the two)
But I don't care much for the XP compatebility, I'm going to run this baby in my Win98SE VPC.

It will be like the FIRST time I would be able to play the game everyone has been talking about over the past 12 years.

What is so to explain!! :blink:
How about those 9~14 KB/sec I'm getting with the GDI-disk.

So the question IS: Which has the Better cinematics GDI or NOD?

the answer is: its like you finished only 1/2 of the game. on one disc there is campagin for gdi and on second disc campagin for nod. and dont worry, the speed gets better after you download for a while, it went 14KB/s for me too and after half a hour it went up to 100 (i would advice you to use a download manager sine it sometimes crashes)

Then what would be the best FREE download manager that also supports resuming.

Cause I can't what a Consecutive 15 hours for a Download. (any download for that matter)
Even IF the speed gets up after a while to 100KB/sec it wouldn't be enough.

[edit]one good thing. They're Both downloading now @ 13KB/sec (in firefox Download manager)[/edit]

So, speeds have somewhat improved. (in FDM 2.5 )

23KB/sec for GDI and 40KB/sec for NOD. :w00t:

But the MOST importand, I can PAUSE the downloads and resume them at a later moment when it's posseble to download again.
