Can you please put a full game download for windows on your download site if that is possible. I mean something like instead of the patches that you assemble but just the full game of 90 mbs. Thank you.

Why on earth would you want that?

With these five small part downloads you\'re not running the risk of wasting hours of downloading time just to find your file is corrupt and you must download it all again.

You can download one part per day, if you have a poor connection, allowing you to safely get the game in less than a week. You\'re also able to resume where you left off in downloading the parts if you only have a limited time online. What would you do, being halfway through a huge file download, only to suddenly have to quit it?

If I\'m missing something here, please explain, but I can\'t see one possible advantage to having to download one huge file.

You know, some people have fast connections. A large file would be no problem for them. I guess it would be easier for them to just download the whole file then all 5 parts individually.

Allthough personally I don\'t see the problem with downloading 5 parts and then reassembling, unless you are having problems assembling the files.

If u  lazy u might want to have the whole thing, lol.
It took me 20 min to get the game, and about 1 min to assemble.
1 MIN!!!!!! What a waste of time!!!!!  :D

I have  really fast connection and download accelerator that lets you pause download if it stops. It is because my comp has problems with ms dos reassembler. It freezes and causes probs. It would just be easier for me to download it as one and then install it other than having problems with the many filles then having to reassemble. Thanks

Ah I see, well that\'s a perfectly valid reason then. :)

I\'ll remember that in future. I wasn\'t aware people had DOS compiling issues.

I will be putting up the full 90MB download on the Fragnetics site. I personally agree with you that there should have been an assembled file released together with the 5-part series, which was confusing to some non-techs unfortunately.

The link to the 90MB download should be up within the next day.

YAY. I suppose it\'ll be useful once the game gets alot bigger. It would be easier for fast connection people to just start it and leave it go for an hour or so.

Yes, :) well, I am just very happy that there are people like the Fragnetics team that are willing to take a bit of a risk in helping us out.  I think that this is the way it will be for the future.

I think its on the main Fragnetics site.  They probably just haven\'t linked it yet on the planeshift site.
