If I go to the member's area and try to d/l either of the 2 new patches all I get is IE cannot connect to the page you are trying to reach. This is even at a time of day that's not so busy due to the time difference across the pond. I don't need to re-register my serial number do I ?

Any help please ?

On the other hand I am not in the rush. Till now i had no problems with WiTP at all. The patch, according to text file on download page, does not bring much - no enhancements to the gameplay just small changes in sorting and some fixes to sound problems (which don't concern me).

I don't know what was the reason IE could not access those files. Now I just have to take the risk of installing the patch - hope there are no more bugs than currently in the game.

Are you using a download manager? If not get this one. Download it and install it and then post here again in this thread. You will download this patch yet.

Star Download ( www.stardownloader.com ) is actually abit easier to set up then GetRight. You might want to give it a try.

You also might want to send an email to Matrix just incase.

Please e-mail support@matrixgames.com with your e-mail address/username (for the members area) and your serial number.

Let me know when you get the download manager installed.

If you go to the Members Area now you'll find we have normal FTP links there. You can also go to ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/WarInThePacific and see the patches. It's anonymous login, a normal FTP setup.

Here's the main WitP download page:

http://www.matrixgames.com/support/downloads-witp.asp

If you are having problems downloading, try clearing your cache, restarting your browser and clicking through the links in the Members Area again. Another option is to try an alternate browser like Mozilla or Firefox.

You should also check to make sure, if you have a firewall/router/proxy, that it is not in some way restricting FTP access.

Regards,

- Erik

You mean Firefox's internal download "manager" ?

Status: offline 		Moonraker,

I am currently using FireFox. When I left-click on downloading the 1.20 patch, I first get a window asking me whether I want to pen it or save it to disk. I then select the option to save it to disk, and then a window comes up where I can select where I want to save the file. I choose the location and click on save. A download window then comes up and the green boxes or bars are the progress of the download of the file to your computer. The file is 122.5 Mb from what is displayed on my download window, how long is the download taking you and are you sure you are looking in the right place for the downloaded file when its completed?
