    I'm not sure if this is valid, but you may want to check with your computer power settings. Sometimes when you download a big file, you may be one of those "go to another room and do something else" people, but if you're doing so, try to make sure your computer doesn't go to sleep mode or shut off after a couple minutes. It may disturb the download as it happened to me before.

    The difference between the executable file and a torrent is, the .exe file you are installing is not the complete game. It is a small program that's made by PW to download all the files for you. When you Torrent download, it actually downloads the complete game. But either way, I can't say which way is faster because it depends on your internet connection and their server connection.

    Hope it all works out for you!
    I quit PW and all its games it had to cater to me. I'm off playing a better pay-to-play game where I experience no glitches, no spamming LF squads, lose stuff in PK mode, lose exp on death or anything for cheaper price than what I paid for here. However, I'll still be lurking around pwi forums from time to time. Quit Date: March 4, 2011 RIP my beloved characters. b:bye
