Morning gentlemen.

I think you've got us confused with somebody else.

Morning all!

My download is broken again -have to wait another 24 hours...

I think it's slowly time to give up [:@]

[sprior]

I want a "Right you lot, get on those ships and kick the snot out of whoever is there" button. Has anyone found it yet?

Torsten, I believe you said you were trying to download with a very slow connection, using some type of download manager program. Matrix has recommended not to use any type of download manager, as it may cause problems. Will you be able to access a faster connection anytime soon?

I'll be at home in about a week. So at the end of next week, I shall finally have it.
My connection is at about max. 24kbyte/sec now. Unfortunately, my Laptop wasn't "format c:" since I have it which is about two years now, IIRC. Consequently, Dial-up connections brake down quite frequently and the GPRS connection I have now turns somehow to "just local" from "local and internet" sometimes.
If I download without a manager, just via firefox, this should end the download without any chance to resume. As the download takes me about 6-10 hours, I have to use a manager.

When Free download manager was able to resume the download this morning, I was shocked to see that it immediatly began to split the file (still at 199MB 43%) again. I stopped and managed to turn it to just one download. This "worked", if you describle holding the connection at 0 bytes as download. 5 minutes later, it broke down again and I'm told again that my username/Password is wrong.
So the multiple connections were identified as attack - again! [:@]

I guess I'll have to let it download with multiple connections tomorrow which will hopefully mean another 40% before I'm kicked again. The 17% rest have to be downloaded on saturday - if everything works...

Or maybe I'll find someone who tells me how Star Downloader or Free download manager has to be set to guarantee that this won't happen again... [:(]


Well, its really frustration, but finally, I'll have the game somewhen... [>:]

That's a tough situation, but at least you know you can get AE downloaded in a week, as the worst case. 
 
Just think how much more you will appreciate it after anticipating for so long.  [:)]

Vorfreude ist die größte Freude, we say in Germany.
Something like "Anticipation is the greatest joy" [;)]

PM me. If you want I can burn a copy of the .exe to a CD and post it to you. You'll need your own installation key though.

Good thoughts, guys, but I believe by the time it could make it to Historiker where he is by post, he will be home and able to download it. [:)]

Wow, PT boats are if anything, even more effective in AE. Not, you understand, that I'm complaining.
