to bad we are only going to be able to get the new boosterpack via the EA download utility.  That sucks.  I tried to use that when I was downloading SF and it sucked with slow transfer speeds and I have a 4MB connection going.  I can't wait for the next patch.  I usually just download it from fileplanet.  They have excellent download speeds if you are member which is well worth it.

hmmmm....... well if you calculate, the last patch was 300mb, so tht already with a map. so with a new faction plus 100mb and with another map plus 60mb and then id say about 500mb or a bit more. they will add more. i mean in this patch theres more stuff than the last one!!!!! it cant be smaller or the same size!!!!!

What does it matter how big it is, with the number off people downloading it, its going slow anyway.
