Calendra's Legacy is well worth it!:thumb:
But you might want to do it the easy way and
order Komag's FM CD's! You can find them at the keepofmetalandgold.com

Yes, it is definitely worth every second of downloading.
It is simply incredible mission pack... :eek:

Yes, get it somehow.
Komag's CD's are really cheap (like the cost of the blank CD, plus shipping -- since he is not allowed to profit from this) -- and you can have a whole bunch of FMs this way to boot.

yeah worth downloading, or worth the 7 dollars or whatever to buy a CD. plus you woul dget other missions on the CD if u get one from KOMAG

If Calendras Legacy cost you $49.95 at your local computer software store, it would be worth it. As it turns out, all it costs you is time to d/l it in 20k chunks (a day or perhaps a weekend) or $7 for the CD.
If you're like the rest of us. the only reason you hang on to your Thief CD's is to play the outstanding FM's that have been released since the Company that made the OM's died.
These FM's are, by several orders of magnitude, better than the the store bought original missions (OM's) anyway.
I'm still playing 'em, and loving 'em after 4 years.

I downloaded CL on a dodgy 56k modem,? Took forever! And guess what I still haven't played it! I've had a quick peek, but I'm saving the best for last :D Needless to say it's production values are probably even beyond the original game! So my advice to you is Download it, download it now, only a fool would be disappointed in CL!

I definitely agree! :thumb:
Three outstanding "missions":
The first is a great introduction and shows what to expect in the latter ones.
My personal favourite is the second, which is a kind of Venice in the grim Thief-world.
The third is more of a "sleeper", because it seems rather sub standard at first but the second half is terrific.
As RiCh E said, it's production values outclass the original missions - by far. Great textures, sounds, speech etc.
Summary: In my opinion Looking Glass could've sold this as a mission pack. The download was worth every second of the 20 minutes it took.
Sorry, really couldn't resist :ebil:

Whenever I try to download a mission, I don't get much more than 35 KB/sec.

I dl'ed it from Epitumias site. He offers them both ways: Single file and split into 17 parts. With the latter I had problems so installed a download manager (MetaProducts Download Express - free for private use) and went for the whole cake.
I thought it would take more than an hour and after I came back from the fridge my jaw dropped to the floor! ;)

Keep in mind that there can be a whole lot of Internet between where I am and where you may be downloading from. I can easily max out my cable connection at 250KBps (and the packets have to go through Dallas to get fron my house to the University ten miles away) but folks in, say, Europe probably won't see that.
It would be really great if there were a mirror in Europe. I recall that someone was setting one up but I don't remember what came of it.
