Well, I managed to get to the download and upped it to my server. You should be able to get decent speeds...

Anyway, the URL is:

MindFad · May 7, 2003, 08:03 PM

Awesome, dude! Thanks! What's with this bz2 stuff at the end of the file anyhow?

Edit: Ah, a "BZIP" file. Never heard of that one.

Scifience · May 7, 2003, 08:04 PM

Well, bz2 is the way MacSoft compressed the file, so that is the way I upped it.

At any rate, it opens with StuffIt Expander.

Corys · May 7, 2003, 08:05 PM

I upped my mirror with IMG..currently sending out 5 megs a second..
OMG..
don't know how long I can keep that up

MindFad · May 7, 2003, 08:06 PM

Yeah, a BZIP icon on the file, I see. Steady 27K/sec. Thanks again!

Scifience · May 7, 2003, 08:12 PM

While it isn't an OC-12 line, it is faster than MacGameFiles usual 2kbps on a good (slow) day and negative kpbs on a busy day.

Negative kbps? Is that possible?

Nice DL from your server, between 30 and 70KB/sec...

Thanks, Cory, that mirror helped alot. All the other sites were bogged down.

thanks Cory,
got it off the mirror 212k/sec

Sinemacula · May 8, 2003, 11:56 AM

Okay, I think I need a little help here... I've downloaded the file about four times (trying different mirros each time, just in case), and have yet to actually try out the game - I feel like

In three out of four downloads, Stuffit just quits about 80% of the way through and says it doesn't recognize the file type... yet it does produce a dmg file. The dmg will mount, but if I click on it, the Finder crashes. On the other one of the four downloads, Stuffit made it through the process without quitting prematurely, but the dmg doesn't mount - it looks like it's going to, but after DiskCopy quits, there's no mounted disk!

Any ideas?

Scott

Leonard · May 8, 2003, 03:48 PM

I had some problems too mounting the image and copying the files over. I couldn't drag the file to another folder, I had to do a copy and paste. Try restarting your Mac, that seemed to fix a few problems for me.

thanks! i downloaded it. very speedy....

reader50 · May 9, 2003, 12:32 AM

To those having trouble unstuffing the file, you may need the latest version of Stuffit Expander to properly handle such a large bz2 file. My version 7.0 would just quit after trying to start on the file.

Instead, open Terminal. Type "bunzip2" followed by a space. Now drag the bz2 file into the Terminal and let go. Click the Terminal window again to make it active, and press Return. It will take less than 5 minutes to unstuff the file.

By default, bunzip2 will remove the archive after unstuffing it. If you want the download archive kept, you should instead launch it with this command: "bunzip2 -k" followed by the space and drag-drop.

monkeybrain · May 9, 2003, 09:24 AM

Big favor to ask here. I don't spose anyone who is mirroring it could segment the file up?
I need to download it onto 100mb zip disks on a windows computer. I would be eternally grateful to anyone to do this, there must be others who would appreciate it.

Cheers
