Star Wars Galaxies (R.I.P. you awesome sandbox MMORPG) always took a long time to install, update, and re-install for me, and the progress bar usually stayed at about 1-10% untill the very end where it would suddenly jump to something like 96 or 99%

Not too long ago I had to do a complete Windows re-install. That was a headache and a half. Luckily I prepared in advance and had everything I wanted to keep backed up on separate drives.

Ya that'd be handy. I just say "LET'S WIPE IT ALL!!!" and remove practically everything but save files. I don't like backing stuff up

Transferring a file from a USB to my computer once allegedly would take 14,000 years.

 

That was a fun thursday.

I've seen a download bar go the other way, I had to check my hands to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

You don't like backing stuff up? I've practically had nightmares about losing writing projects in a hard drive crash. I back up everything I do. I also have the start up files for things like VLC, DVD Shrink, and whatever saved on multiple external sources so I can get them up and running if I need to!

My internet is incredibly unreliable so the eta on downloads is pretty much meaningless. It will jump from 20 minutes to 5 years randomly.

 

My Champions Online patching always says it will take 9 minutes. Regardless of the size or my download speed at the time. Its pretty annoying when I'm trying to play with someone and I tell them I've just got to do a quick patch. 2 hours later...

Well i don't really ever keep anything on my computer i'd have a hard time losing or a hard time doing without for awhile. If there's extremely critical stuff (school papers, reports, etc) i'll back it up, but that's about it.

That sounds a little better!
