The full version of SPWAW 7.1 is approx 400mb in size, if you only got 140mb then the download is corrupt/incomplete and you'll have to download it again.

Ok

Thanx.

So... the file, that i have to download, is over 400mb?

I mean is that 140mb zipped or something like that and the whole game after extracting zip is over 400mb and i am just so stupid, that i can not open that zipped file? Or... i just have to download something that is over 400mb?

The zipped DL is over 400 megs. It unzips to about a gig. If you buy a MegaCampaign they each come with a full version of the game (which means you'll have a hard copy and never have to worry about downloading it again and will also be supporting Matrix). If you go the DL rout, use a program like FlashGet so you can resume any broken downloads. :)

Make it easy on yourself - buy the latest MegaCampaign and get the entire game on CD, plus heart pounding campaign action. Unless you have cable Internet service a 400 Meg download is only for those without something else to do in their lives.

It CAN be done with a dialup modem - I was taken to task for talking against it - but you might not have enough life left to see it through is what I believe.

Even if you do have cable service or some other comparable connection, it would most likely be anywhere from one to two hours, depending upon the current user load. I have 1.5 Meg connection speed - when I went to d/l the Trainz update (112 Meg) the dialog box told me it would be 20+ hours, slower than anything I've ever had with plain vanilla dialup. So it depends.

Buy the Mega - send a boy to Camp.
