Keep trying, MY Getright is working now. I have a slow 56K modem.

I tried D/Ling the file a second time - both times it loads about 75% of the file, then says it's finished with the DL. When I go to open the file (It has the .zip extension) a message tells me I have an invalid archive. Can anyone help me?

Boz, are you using Get Right or GoZilla or something similar. These reallly help when downloading large files. I trying to download now with Get Right, about 50% through with 5 connects already, but each time it picks up where it left off.
Good luck :)

I can't get into to download it either. Anybody have another mirror for the sound upgrade?

Didn't continue the download. Was assured by the Matrix staff I'll be recieving my MC soon. I believe the new sound files are on the disc. If so will I be able to extract them without a full install or should I proceed with the download?

Which MC disk? North Africa or Lost Victories?

If I'm not mistaken, North Africa. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not home to check the CD right now.

Couldn't find it on my CD....
Spwaw version 5.3 507 MB
War in Russia 4.6 MB
Pacific War 7.2 MB
(and much more fine stuff)

I doubt that there is enough place on one CD to contain both the game with the MC *and* the Soundfiles....

Is there any mirror for the soundfiles? I still didn't get a connection (always getting the "server busy, waiting to retry"-Message).

Kind regards,
Roland

I think the new arty sounds need more punch... it's like there isn't an explosion at all. Just this "swishy"-sound. And they don't fit very well with the old sounds (the same weapon shouldn't have two radically different sounds).

By the way, I was messing with Goldwave and tried mp3-packing some of the SPWAW wavs. The game played the packed wavs succesfully, there was no quality loss and the file sizes were less than fourth of the original. So why not pack them all? It would probably reduce the whole SPWAW download size from 400MB to less than 100MB.
