Sorry, I am seriously terrible at this stuff.

What is the difference between downloading from the client (direct), bit torrent, or a mirror site (probably FilePlanet)?

Is one way better or less viral than the other?

    The direct download comes directly from the PWI servers. The bit torrent was initially seeded by PWI, but is a P2P filesharing method.

    Mirrors are just other gaming websites with the files.

    Some might give you better download speeds. It's hard to say... they behave differently for everyone. None of them should have any viruses though! They were all put in place by the PWI staff.

    it just seems that easiest and safest would be to download directly from the pwi servers. so i think that's what i will do. if i have problems ill go through fileplanet...I've used them for AA before.



    thanks for the help! (and suffering though my serious case of noobism).
