Make it easier and be able to choose a .zip file or all 6 parts.And not have to go in and click on it then put in the server name,just have servers you can click on.

Yeah, an option of getting it all at once would be nice for us rocket-asses.

The reason its in six parts is because downloading 100mb is quite frustrating for a 56k\'er. And about the servers: PS only have one server. And the DEVs said that they will continue to have one server as long as its possible.

Yes, but us rocket-asses (i.e. fast people) would like to download the whole shebang.  Make it an option.

i have no idea why the win* version is packed like that ...the linux version (and probably the mac too) is just one big tarball (=a compression of some sort) ...so that whole 6parts thing is still a mistery to me ...not that it directly bugs me, being a linux user, but still i bet it could be a pain in the ass for some people

hmmm someone should download it combine it and then host is somewhere. I don\'t think it would be too hard except perhaps for bandwidth restrictions any one want to volunteer?

yah if you want it in one piece - download all the pieces and combine them yourself :P  cmonn you guys is it that hard to download all the pieces together?  I for one have a \'rocket ass\' connection so i just dled all the pieces at the same time which actually saved me time... no offence but running the combine app isn\'t exactly any more difficult than a double click away...

Just a rnadom guess, but  Ibet there are limits on file sizes that their server will let you download.... or just that they are afaid of people screwing up the download? Anyways, the admins would have to offer the bigger file, cuz its not like you would get any publicity for your oun file... unless it was on a P2P service.....

P2P services are becoming annoying - Kazaa for example has started to turn in people for downnloads (and not just for downloading kiddy p*#n - software, movies, and music too)
