I will check the Mac torrent download and repost in a few minutes, Karyuu. [ten minutes later] ClamXav for OS X reports that no infected files were found in the PS Mac DMG I got from the torrent download. I did update the virus definitions before I did this, of course. I should qualify this as saying: I do not trust antivirus software, so this does not mean that there is not a virus. This only reduces the possibility of one being present to about less than 1%. [two minutes later] Okay, I did not get a new copy of the file. [two minutes later] Ummm... I actually do not know which mirror was being referred to, please post the link. I only checked the old torrent download...

I think he was referring to this Mirror 1:



Though with a newer version on the Mirror right after, I'd question the need to download it anyway :>
Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

Doh. Right on the main downloads. I haven't been over there in a while. No wonder we use the torrent, it does take a while. Sigh. I will do it anyway because dfryer should not be the only one sitting in front of his computer not playing. :) Is there some kind of a checksum done on the release to verify it has not been changed and replaced? I know the possibility is small, but I am really bored... oh, that was funny Keyaz...

There are 0 viruses on the Mac. If you mean a trojan... for some reason I doubt there is a trojan in Planeshift. There are very few of those for the Mac anyway... Your virus scanner screwed up. iLock.
