Chris 246 Posted June 21, 2007 Rockstar have confirmed the exact time for the release of the second GTA IV trailer "Looking for that special someone" in their latest broadcast. It will be going live at 12:00PM EDT. That's going to be 5PM in the UK, 6PM for most of Europe, and 2AM in most of Australia, of course your time zone may vary. So, get ready for the Internet to explode once again as every single GTA fan in the world attempts to download the trailer at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris 246 Posted June 21, 2007 Yes, they better not have an hour of slow server and crashes etc. I have to go out very very soon after 5pm here in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sherman 40 Posted June 21, 2007 You mean EST? Hell yeah, East coast kicks ass. I'll probably be asleep. I hope R* is up for server rape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris82 3 Posted June 21, 2007 YESSSSS!!!!1111 Hopefully I'll get lucky again and be able to download it quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 246 Posted June 21, 2007 You mean EST? Hell yeah, East coast kicks ass. I'll probably be asleep. I hope R* is up for server rape. No, says EDT on the email. You guys do have Daylight Savings as well you know Right? I'm just screenshotting it anyway, I'll add it into the post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tilly 1 Posted June 21, 2007 dude can someone stream it? so that we have a little les explosion on rockstar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 246 Posted June 21, 2007 Added a screenshot of the email into the post now for those who haven't received it yet. @tilly: Well what we try to do is get a copy on to TGTAP server first, and then I usually put the link up to that in my news post, and then download it myself and write up all the new details. I'll also try and post other links if sites like gametrailers have it up too. At 12:00 only R* will have it so we'll just have to wait if everything crashes.

tilly 1 Posted June 22, 2007 alright thanks but i dont know if youl get much luck trying to download it. stream it maybe so that OUR site doesnt crash. but good luck. and who says that chris isnt the best forum admin ever? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 246 Posted June 22, 2007 It helps I have root access to the server though, I bet not many other fan site webmasters do. Most of them are probably on shared hosting too But yeah I can literally just type one command line and press enter and the server downloads using it's rawrsome 100mbit connection So the trailer would be downloaded in just a few seconds assuming full bandwidth was available, and then I can post the link here to download it to my own computer.

tilly 1 Posted June 22, 2007 hey chris, do you have a server built computer? like a blade or something? if you do i think you should get a few more but only for networking of downloads. that would make this MUCH easier. and if you dont have any, then you are crazy. where is your bandwith coming from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 246 Posted June 22, 2007 No, the server TGTAP is hosted on is located in Texas, USA. It wouldn't be from Dell or anything, all custom built I'd imagine. The server (which is fully dedicated) is donated to us by Ron from soccergaming.com, that's what the big ad at the top and bottom of the server is for... to pay for the server essentially. We pump out around 1 Terabyte of bandwidth every single month... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tilly 1 Posted June 22, 2007 wow thats a good amount. i have a blade server at my house for my CS server. its not very powerful but it doesnt matter for CS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cool, I actually obtained it from here last time sort of, I couldn't get anything to show up on Rockstar's site so I came back here and you had a link from filefront or something. Do it again!

Gycu 1 Posted June 23, 2007 Looks like R* chosed the perfect hour for the trailer launching ... The hour is perfect for me too, I`ll watch a movie and that movie will end at 7:30 PM, enough time for the servers to recover if they fell at 7:00 PM ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
