How are you getting along TL    :P
 
TL is getting along nowhere quickly.  This morning's bad piece of news was that the website I was downloading the exe from wasa disconnected due to cut-off and I only had half the file.  So trustingly, I reconnected this morning and started the download thinking that the phone lines would drop once it had done the last 200MB.  The bad news for this afternoon is that having been out all day and just come back in I find that I am being asked for an FTP password by freenet.de and the download stopped at 268MB, leaving me still 100MB short of a full executable.  :angry:   To say I am miffed at the moment would be a massive understatement.

I am off to see if the partial download will pick up from the MH.

OK that's it - I give up.  I will not for the foreseeable future be playing 1.6.  

Having spent over 24 hours trying to get steam to work and failing, I then spent the best part of 24 hours trying and failing to download the exe file from freenet.de (having given me over 200MB of the 380MB file it now wants a bleedin password which I do nto have).  

So what have I got for the price of 96 hours online?  Fook all, that's what - I am bloody steaming here (no pun intended).  

Who volunteers to send it to me on a CD?  I bloody refuse to download the exe file now, I have had it with steam.........

Still no luck for me. I am up to 30+ installations now on two different machines. I have even tried going with the original steam install file, but no luck. I think I will never get this to work.

The strange thing is that I got the beta version to work smoothly ...

That's it then I guess ... have to find some other game I can play.
