Not nice download
Posted: Mon May 30, 2005 1:51 pm
Wow, I have never had so much trouble with a download. I have now attempted to download the full Ryzom game for the 14 day free trial, three times. Each time taking around 4 - 5 hours. The people on Klients have been very kind in trying to help me, but to no avail.
My first download was with internet explorer and it seemed to work. I opened up the instalation program and in ran smoothly almost all the way to the end, but then when it attempted to extract "zorai_zones.bnp" it stopped and said there was a corrupt file and an unexpected end to archive. It stated to simply download a fresh copy and start again. ooooo sounds like fun........
For my second attempt i downloaded firefox and smartftp. smartFTP would not open the Ryzom download URL so that was canned right off the bat. So then I try firefox. It looks like a good downloader and so i cross my fingers for another 5 hours. Everything seemed to go smoothly once again. But then nothing that I downloaded would open. The guys on Klients said that my virus scan was probably still scanning the download and that this could take quite awhile. I did not time it but id say I waited 45 mins to an hour for the scan to complete itself. Nothing happened. So i pressed cancel on the download to see what would happen and it canceled. lol. I then pressed the retry button and the download was complete in about 5 secs tops. Hooray! ........ The installer did not even extract two things before there was a corupt file........
For my third try I attempted to just leave my comp on all night and let the download run its course for about 8 hours. I woke up and turned on my monitor. Everyhting seemed in order and the download actually said that it was complete this time. I ran the installer. It went through extremely fast, so i said uh oh, and sure enougg there was a corrupt file after about 30 secs......................
im going to go cry now
