Since I can't create a new post yet can anyone help me download the game because I can't download the game.

All the partners are torrent files and I don't know how to use those.

Direct download from the main website does not work currently.

    See up top of the page where it says "Game"
    Mouse over it click download.

    next page click the top button clearly labled "Direct Download"

    You can download it directly from the homepage. Click on the logo at the top of this page to get there, you can't miss the Download button when your there.

    I tried the direct download button already and it says that they cannot find the page for the direct download for google chrome.

    The Direct download is currently a broken link.

    I already tried that link and it does not lead any where.
    Google chrome says it cannot find the link or website and i tried other browsers but they just lead to a broken link or back to download page.

    I have tried using it for other internet browser but it is the same result.

    I believe the link is currently broken.

    You will probably need to download with IE since it is a site based on IE design.

    . . . . . Very odd. As Nick suggested, try a different browser. Or, you may want to try clearing your cache on your current browser. I'm on Chrome and I've started the download 5 times now just to make sure it is downloading okay. No problems here.

    . . . . . An alternate method would be download the launcher directly, then create your own file-structure (I suggest C:/Games/Cryptic Studios/Neverwinter/ and place the launcher (Neverwinter.exe) into the Neverwinter folder and then create your own desktop/start menu shortcut. The game will then install into a Live folder within the folder you placed the launcher in one ran.

    Please see my post above, I added a possible work-around.

    Like I said I tried downloading the launcher directly but the page keep popping up that they can not find the link nor web page. I can't perform that task you suggested when step one of the work around is block by my current issue.

    PS is there really no other methods to downloading the full client without a torrent file since the direct download on the main website is broken.

    . . . . . Then something must be blocking it on your end. Please double-check your blacklists, hosts file and firewalls. If you're behind a router, that may be blocking you too depending on how it is set up and if it has its own external firewall built in.

    Reading this again:
    . . . . . Actually, no you didn't say you tried the launcher link I gave, you said you tried the direct download link. Check that link as that is not a link that is widely distributed and only given out for technical issues. It is not a game download but a link to the Neverwinter.exe launcher itself and not an installation .exe. If that link is also not working for you then yeah, something on your end has to be blocking it.

    Merged and moved this all into its own thread.

    Please double check what I said here, especially the 2nd quote:
