Hi guys. I'll be getting 6 and a half hours for the next 5 days idle in college. I'll be downloading all this time on a friend's laptop. Other than usual updates and few softwares and videos, I don't have much to download. BUt I do not want this to go in vain. So please suggest some things to download :D

Okay, so here is what I downloaded today:

Windows updates
Software updates
OpenCV
QT SDK
105 QT tutorials (complete series)
Mclaren P1 videos

@gearbox; speed is limited on WIFI with average speed of 250 kBps and max speed of 300~350 kBps. It got limited in recent times. Previously I used to get 2 MBps (yes you read it write, 2 mega BYTES) in morning and 500-800 kBps average.

@prehistoricgamer; I'll download Seinfeld tomorrow.

Any small Steam multiplayer games that I can play on 2G network with 20 kBps speed?

it is 12MBps in our simulation lab. :p but the only problem is with idm. it takes seconds to download but takes hours to rebuild the downloaded parts:-(

you can download all sherlock holms movies. they are very good.
if you want a time pass game, you can install bluestacks and play candy crush saga or any android games you like.
