I copied the files from all three DVDs to an external hard drive, installed it, connected through UPLAY (Ubisoft's version of Valve's Steam), gave them my serial number and tied it to the logon on their system.
CHOICE 1: UPLAY isn't really Ubisoft's version of Steam, which is why you went through the hassle of copying files off of DVDs instead of just logging into UPLAY and clicking "download".
Let me point out that I didn't even know what Uplay was until after the program was installed, thus I couldn't have had it download the application anyway.
Beyonf that, have you considered first, how long it would take to download more than 20 gigabytes of data over a 10MBPS download internet connection? (This presumes their side has the bandwidth to send at that speed.) With the program already installed, all it downloaded was a 2 megabyte update. My USB hard drive and the computer's ports are USB 2, which if I'm not mistaken supports data transfer rates of 480MBPS.
Second, nobody gets "unlimited" data, (not at broadband speeds, anyway). Use too much and they charge an extra fee, usually exorbitant; throttle your connection; or cut you off until next month. Comcast has a limit of 250GB per month, and I'm not going to waste a potential 20 GB or more of data and risk hitting the cap. Not to mention having to take what is probably two days to download 20GB of files. (At a 3MBPS upload connection on their end it would take 18 1/2 hours.)
