hedwards: You mean that flash is technically the most evil thing to ever show up on the web?
Sounds about right ;)

Woohoot! 3rd try wins the game.
Many thanks to GOG got this!

What happens if I try it again? Would I be able to ignore the game code, or just throw it on here for someone else?

(I LIKE helping out!)

Me2 :) i've tried at different times of day since my connection varies. So far i just get the same code i'd originally won. So no worries about multiple tests.

Awesome, thanks for the code! I kept trying to test but no matter what it just stayed as like a loading screen and never ended...

I know what it's like to have a crappy connection (I've upgraded in the past few months), so I'd still want to provide as much information as I can. What's the deadline for this test?

Additionally, I was able to run multiple tests from the same browser on the same computer, within minutes of each other, even though it says 'try again in a few hours'. Is 'a few hours' a suggested time frame, or was I not supposed to be able to run another test thirty seconds after the last.

It is our ISP that sucks. comcast. Frackers. It's been perhaps a year since we upgraded to their fastest package. Was an improvement cuz it was horrendous before. We almost went back to dialup. Now it just intermittently sucks. They have a monopoly in this region so they are pricks. Wheeeh got that outta my system for a time lol

Won it first try! Sweet! I know it's been asked before, but is it possible to win a second code to give away? I did this at work and I would like to do it at home, too.

Feel free to retry the test (actually the more unique testing samples we get from different ISPs / places / cities, the better) but after you've won the code, you will see the same code on your retries.

If you want a an extra code for giveaway, simply invite your friend(s) to GOG instead - they will get the free game and we will get a new result, so it's a win-win :)

Done did it.
Thanks for the free game. But it don't look like something I would play. So here's a free code to someone out there...

We will be concluding the test on Monday or Tuesday most likely (TBD)

While we're looking into getting as many as possible "unique tests" (unique per ISP / city / country), retrying the test from the same computer few times within minutes or hours isn't any deal breaker for us - quite frankly, this way we will be able to determine how your download speeds per different server locations depend on the time of the day / how stable it is on the retires vs the original results.
