Doom 3 Alpha Leaked
John Carmack most displeased
John Carmack addressed the Slashdot.org forums recently, with his thoughts on the illegal Doom 3 alpha that’s been doing the rounds on-line since Friday. He is, needless to say, not best pleased. “No, this was not leaked on purpose. Yes, we are upset about it, and it will have some impact on how we deal with some companies in the future, but nothing drastic is going to change in terms of what support is going to be available. Making any judgements from a snapshot intended for a non-interactive demo is ill advised..”

Rumour has it, that the leak may have occurred via one of id Software’s hardware partners (ATI and NVIDIA being the two most prominent), but regardless of the source, the demo, believed to be the same as that shown at E3, is proving quite popular among those that have downloaded it, and if anything will add to the anticipation surrounding the game’s Summer 2003 release.
Reports immerging suggest that the alpha weighs in at hefty 380mb compressed, and that fans are already comparing the game on various systems to judge specifications for this graphical beast.

SCHNELL!
I belive that the alpha demo will make me buy the actual game.

Finnaly i find it "BUT" (problem) When i start dl it write something like connection reseted by peer???? i dont understand
I got the demo, and it is awesome. It does take a heafty system, but the final verson won't. John Carmak shouldn't worry too much. Even with the unoptimized code in the game, it still looks better than any other game I have ever seen! I ran it on a Athlon Xp 1600+, 256 MB ram, GF3 Overclocked and it was 1-8 fps. My new system P4 2.8C, 1024 MB ram, 9700 Pro runs it great. (30-50 fps) So if you have a comp as slow as my old one, don't dispare, you can run the demo,. It's choppy, but still worth it.
i get the same thing
