I just turn the thing on and hope it works. Haha.

But I bought myself a new laptop yesterday, and I downloaded bittorrent and the client took about 8 hours to download. And now it keeps saying its Seeding and it will take 3 weeks to finish downloading... wtf >.<

How do I get PWI to come back? b:sad I'm having withdrawls. b:cry

(I know I fail b:surrender)

    You're done downloading the game. Just right click the torrent and select "remove" or "stop" or something like that (just make sure you dont select remove data).
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    I ended up not using the RAR file because it said error. Then I re downloaded the whole game and after 8 hours that said error too. I don't know what to do. Someone help me get PW on my new laptop b:sad

    How did you get PWI before? If it was the same way then it could have something to do with various people having connectivity problems or, most likely, because many people were off school, work, college etc over the weekend and needed to use their connection for other purposes. Many will leave their computers seeding over weekdays while they're away.

    Just pay $5 to have them send you a disk and you never have to download it again. :< Or you could use the direct download instead of torrent. Which has never ever taken more than 2 hours for me. As far as the game shutting down, I dunno what that's about unless its just overheating. In which case, you could just get a fan for it.

    the best thing to do would to make sure you don't cover the heating ducts. you don't NEED a cooling pad, but make sure that it can vent.
