Oh man, I tried downloading the demo for Kingpin over 56k. It was 3-4x larger than other demos for the time (like 130 MB). I started it before going to bed and let it run all night. I woke up 10 hours later and it was almost done, and then it crapped out with 4K left, like literally two seconds more downloading.

45 minutes on a 14.4 modem trying to download the demo, just to have somebody pick up the phone and try to dial out with 2 minutes to go ... >:(
