NOTE: This link will expire in 8 hours.

Hello, I just bought Torque but have a little problem. I'm at my home and am on dial up, when I went to the torque download page there was this "NOTE: This link will expire in 8 hours.". I won't be at my high speed internet connection for a few days. When I tried to download it on dial up it said it was going to take 6:55 minutes! My ISP will disconnect me long before it's done. Is there anything I can do? I don't want to have wasted my money.

This is just a security feature. In eight hours, when that link expires, and you need to download it again, it will issue a new link. No worries. Once you bought it, it's yours.

As far as the dialup, my only suggestion is get a laptop with wireless, drive around town till you find an unprotected wifi, then download. <--- not a real suggestion for legal reasons. ;P

Take a laptop to a coffee shop and have a mocha while you wait for your download to complete. Unsecured WiFi is all the rage.

Some districts have ruled open wifi fair game. You too can be a bastard, legally! (If you live in the right area :)
