On a lark, I installed the current TC-Prime last night. Took about 8 minutes to get the 2.2 gigs down the pipe. I'm so ready for this.

Well TC is not a download, but a copy of the main SWG....much different. Only JTL so far is a major download, which took me around an hour on RoadRunner that is speed rated around 2.5 Mbps.

I will be closing this at approximately 604,800 seconds from the time of the original post. And unlike the in-game timers for the Village and Player Cities, server downtime does NOT affect when the timer expires... 
The list will be 5 people and 2 alternates. A different prof has already had one of their people "leak" info, which was moderated quickly. This person had to be removed and I would not hesitate to do the same here. I may just like 7 people and have discussions individually or as a group to nail down the final 5.
I want to stress the difference from regular game play to the Sandbox Testing. We will be coordinating ourselves on the Sandbox at the same time....other play time there is optional and encouraged of course. A new install of SWG is required by downloading 2.2 GB approx. I plan on using a secure Chatzy room for communicationand/or any IM programs.....I have MSN, AOL, Yahoo, and ICQ....well I use Trillian 
The Corrs have not seen an NDA for the 5 picks, but expect one...even if there isn't one I will be holding all to an NDA. This is the most serious testing any of you will have ever done (well probably ), we will be working on the foundation for SWG that will be used for years to come.
I don't want to scare anybody away, this will probably be the most fun in SWG that you have ever had too. But I felt it important to let everybody know how serious I take this

What about ventrillo or teamspeak? A bit trickier because of additional hardware/software support, but probably more efficient.
OH man, very good point....I totally forgot about this...
I run a TS server on my desktop.....I will also be using this heavily and should all the testers (at least listen if you have no mic, which requires nothing additional).
Jeanne has me a bit flustered....no power at home still.....
