You will if you don\'t turn that caps lock off. ;)


Some information would be useful... I didn\'t study hard enough in my mind-reading classes.

first give us some time. the forums are not real time.

second. edit. don\'t double post.

as for the specific problem. you may want to look at a download manager.

Are you on dial-up? Maybe you\'re losing connection. You can try using a download manager such as GetRight or FlashGet, which supports resumable downloads.

This problem gets reported occasionally, and there isn\'t an actual solution AFAIK. The people having this problem can usually download off one of the mirror sites without problems, so try those. Read the CB bug section for the mirror info.

There could be several reasons why your planeshift stops downloading, here are some ideas:

1. Download limit reached (normally aol users get this)

2. Connection needs repairing

3. Internet is getting interferance (too many peeps on)

4. You should close other programmes

And there are many more technical issues that you could look up, look for help on the microsoft website and i hope ive helped,

if you used mozilla firefox like i did to download this, DO NOT USE THE EMBEDDED DOWNLOADER.  It is a nightmare.  I downloaded this on a dialup connection (only becuase my broadband is on a usage cap) and used Fresh Devices, Download Manager

it integrates into almost every browser (apart from opera and msn explorer i think)

free registration as well
