Can anyone out there supply me with a CD burned copy of this game. I have tried Downloading quite a few times now and the best I have done is to get 140 megs before I loose it, my connection is through a modem getting 3.0kbsps!!!! The 140 megs had taken 12 hours before I lost it, and if I finally manage to gown load SPWAW it will have taken over 20h. Ill keep trying but The only time I can now try a Download is at the weekend so every time its lost thats another week Gone!!!! Can anyone HELP PLEASE.

Man!! Sorry to hear this Ray, hope someone can come through with a CD for you. In the mean time download a program that allows you to resume a broken connection. I use Download Accelerator Plus, it's free and I think I got it on the ZDNet web page. On the Matrix download page they offer you the chance to download a program like this, do it,you'll not regret it. I like DA+ because it's so simple to use. WAW is worth the effort, good luck.

I used GoZilla (at about 3kb/sec) and it took me 26 hours. Got it in one load though-
Left it running the whole period.

I used GoZilla awhile ago, thought it was more complex than needed to be. Later I learned why it was free, it has the Raptor cookie in it, which you can't get rid of even when you delete the program. This Raptor thingy sends reports to the home company, you may have more than one in your system, I did. So far it has not been used for bad purposes and the company that makes it offers a program to remove it as well as a list of programs it is in. I used a program called OptOut to detect whether I had it, but used the companies program to remove it. Just the way I feel, up to you though, sorry for being off subject.

Should have mentioned that if you remove the Raptor thingy the program you removed it from may not work. Again visit Raptors home page and make up your own mind. I don't think it really really bad, just made me mad they never said anything about it. Once you get OptOut you can use the link to go to authors web page and from there use the link to go to Raptor.

Just retraced my steps and don't see GoZilla listed, and OptOut will cost money in July. It appears that some things have changed. Ok that's it for this stuff, sorry again.

Well, got OptOut, killed Gozilla, used OptOut to kill left over Radient(ie Raptor files) Ad files.
Now have registered copy of Get Right. The unregistered version also has the Radient files but THEY are upfront about it and registering allows a clean install or removal of said annoyances.

That's cool. I don't mind if they are up front and I know what they intend to do with the info.. It probably has it's place in giving us good stuff for free. I just hate the behind the back stuff.
