I got right in to download the file, but got crappy speeds on my cable (19K/s) and it took an hour to download. But other than slow speeds I have had no trouble at all..

How are you connecting to the internet ? Cable/DSL/Dialup ? I am not sure why you are having such trouble, like I said it took an hour for me to DL it and I had no problems... Perhaps it is your ISP dropping your connection ?

Odd.. Have you scanned for spyware / viruses lately ? If not that then I have no idea... Perhaps Frag or someone else can give you some suggestions / help...

I don't mind waiting in a queue. But when I finally get in I want it to work.

I've managed 72% and 76% (a 110 Megs in all) with a download manager (Flashget) and a 2M/bit/sec cable connection in Aus. Been trying for 18 hours between sleeps. Gonna wait a couple of days now because my bandwith is capped and I don't want to waste my monthly quota.

Suggestion : Provide users with some feedback that we're in a queue. There are x people in front of you etc. Better than blank screens and hour glasses.

Maybe try to get someone living nearby to pass you a burnt cd. I never had that problem with cable... 3hours with 8kb per second.

From what I have read, if you have ver 1.21, you should be ok with the small download unless you have had problems with crashes and/or sound problems (many crashes in my case - so had to go big download.)

Correct. The only difference between the two patches (besides size) is the small one is for people patched up to 1.21... The larger patch takes you from 1.00 to 1.3...

PS Tophat if you can't get it to work and want to drive to columbus, I can burn you a copy of the patch

Status: offline 		Doh! Help!

Well so far I've managed 72%, 76%, 16% and 16% with a download manager and 14% without one. I'm getting less now that when the server was busy.

Any one at Matrix got some details as to how the "session cookie" and id stuff works to identify legit users? Seems that the Matrix server pulls the pin on me and then my download manager can't resume downloading. I've tried my download manager with and without multi-threading, any other setting worth playing with?

I have no problems download Gigabyte plus files, I download the WITP game no problems, but this file hates me with a passion.

Cheers

The original download is on Digital River's servers, this patch is on Matrix's server.
