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 ?

Tophat -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 3:48:09 AM)

DSL.....its not my connection and the speed its coming in at is between 79k and 81k

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...

Tophat -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 3:52:50 AM)

46% and steady at 79k

we shall see with this try



Top Cat -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 3:55:01 AM)

Join the club.

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.

Tophat -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 4:00:20 AM)

Got up to 84% complete before server settings reset? What the hecks going on? I'm on the 5th try for cryinoutloud!

It does keep me from looking at election returns!



patrickl -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 4:06:09 AM)

Hi,

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.[:)]



Tophat -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 4:09:04 AM)

Its not the speed...its only 15 min or less at 80kb........it simply resets before it completes and is that me or them? I've lost it 4 times now ranging from 73% to 86% complete!



Tophat -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 4:21:18 AM)

Connection reset at 81% this is weird......never had this happen with other downloads

i'm doing another spyware search



Mr.Frag -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 4:23:25 AM)

Not running out of drive space or something silly like that?



Embark -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 4:24:17 AM)

Well I am out in California so if anyone is near me I will send you the file burnt on a cd or if you have AOL Instant Messenger or MSN Instant Messenger I can try to send you the file that way



jjarred -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 4:26:32 AM)

I am havin the same problem, get to 75 percent and poof!!!!!



Tophat -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 4:30:02 AM)

I'm supposed to have 2.13 gig left on my HD.......but good point i'll uninstall afew items.

Also just ran spybot and am rerunning it.

Also turningoff my Norton for the download.



Tophat -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 5:04:23 AM)

Did all I had indicated and my download connection was lost at 80% again?

I'm at a loss.....have over 3.4gig of space on my HD



Heliotic -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 5:11:07 AM)

Same here, on my 5th attempt and it just resets.

Also getright is saying that the server does not support resuming.. and I have confirmed this to be true.
[:(]



patrickl -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 5:12:23 AM)

Use another computer? Internet cafe? Keep working.[:)]



Heliotic -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 5:20:02 AM)

Well, I've got getright on the case, and it's just restarted downloading again.

Since I'm at work, it's not costing me anything but time [;)]



Heliotic -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 5:23:46 AM)

PS: Do I need to download the 70MB patch if I only bought/downloaded the game a few days ago?



Mr.Frag -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 5:29:55 AM)

if you already have 1.21, you just need the little one.



Tophat -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 6:25:21 AM)

Frag,
I'm updated to 1.21 already so i can get away with the small download correct?

I'll not be missing any component?



rtrapasso -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 6:31:19 AM)

I too had trouble getting the download, but it went through after a couple attempts.

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



pad152 -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 6:56:38 AM)

If your going to download something bigger at 10mb, use a download manager like (GetRight), this way if you lose your connection, you can pick up right were you left off.



Tophat -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 7:20:49 AM)

Thanks fellows i downloaded the small patch having already been at 1.21.....it downloaded no problem at all.

Xargun,
whats going on with the vote down in columbus?



Top Cat -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 8:57:25 AM)

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
Top Cat

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



LargeSlowTarget -> RE: 3rd Time the Charm? (11/3/2004 9:55:23 AM)

Succeeded in 3rd try after 'hang-ups' at 26% and 48%. Even with DSL it took four hours. [>:]
