Download aand install a bittorrent program, download the torrentfile on the download page, open that torrentfile and let it download...

Only one thing... if you are going 2 be able 2 download anything someone else on a nother computer need 2 seed the file but when i tested it before noone was seeding so i think you?l be better of trying the exe file... but it?s up 2 you... maybe someone are seeding now... don?t know that...


oh, and you?l probaly need 2 open the port in your router/modem...

Yeah, i can\'t get any download rate for this torrent, and i have high speed!

Plus the download section says that it\'s uploading the exe files for windows... basically i\'m screwed

no, your not screwed... just have 2 wait for a mirror 2 be free and download it manualy... when now that?s going 2 happen...

well, we all waited this long.. guess a couple of hours more doesn?t matter... always got the forum 2 look around ;)

oh, and it doesn?t matter if you have highspeed or not... if nobody is seeding... then it can only be 0... :(

It would be nice if someone who has the file would log on to bit torrent and be a seeder (A person who uploads the file to others). Right now I am seeing about 45 other people who has only .1% of the file because those who exited bit torrent as soon as they were finished. It would be of great help if anyone knew someone who already has the file to be a provided until a few have the file done. I know when I finish downloading the file that I will probably seed the file for the rest of the day, knowing that there are others who are missing out.

agree with you... and why not seed when not even the server is up... be a good PSer and seed some those who can!

Where can i download the file from the server/mirrors then? It will take ages for a seeder to send the whole gfile to however many people are waiting for it on bitTorrent.
I found a torrent for the previous version, if i download that and use the updater, will i be able to play?
The torrent for 0.3.010 has thousands of seeders available.

Do you not have version 0.3.010, then just run the updater
I did an updated to version 0.3.011 in half hour on 512kb line

I ran the updater, but it failed on me and I cannot start the updater or the client. So I figured I may as well try to get the next full package before reporting a bug.

Farting Bob:I had the 1.0.2.6 version and tried 2 update but it only crashed all the time so i had 2 reinstall the game three times but no improvment and then decided 2 try and download the 3.011 from the server whenever there is a free spot for me... or if there will be someone seeding the torrent later on... But it?s all up 2 you...

Post by: noXide on August 04, 2005, 04:36:42 pm

Download the 0.3.010 torrent file then install, run update to get v0.3.011 <--- You can do this in the time it\'ll take someone else to seed it for you download :P

Indeed. I just uninstalled the version that I had tried to patch, and by luck I still had the 0.3.010 install in my system. I reinstalled it, ran the update, and it still failed. I just performed a restart as well to see if any temp problems could be solved. It didn\'t work so I suppose I will have to wait for a seeder or the mirrors to open up.

I started the bittorrent from my webserver, so if the file will be seeded i\'m offering about 200-400 gig of transfer, so everybody will be satisfied getting the file via bittorrent.

(but at the moment there is no seed, so I also have to wait)
