Can't download the game

So my laptop died tonight and I need to move back over to my desktop, unfortunately I hadn't updated it in ages and the patcher wasn't working. So I uninstalled pwi on there and I'm now trying to reinstall it, but it won't let me. I'm on attempt number 5 using the direct download, but there are two things that seem to keep happening.
1) the DEP (data error prevention? Or something like that) closes the download thingy.
or
2) the connection fails or something, it goes from saying its downloading at so many kb per second to (null:)
any suggestions for how to get past these by any chance? b:surrender

Did you read the bit about your security software (antivirus) on the download page? Best bet is that it's giving a false positive and killing the download.
There's also the torrent method, which in my experience, is faster by far. (still have to fix your antivirus though.)Take the time to look for your answer before you post like an idiot.

Can anyone recommend a Torrent program that would be suitable for this task? I ask, though I am not the original poster, because download also fails for me.0 -

You were right it was the the anti-virus. It finally let me download the game when I turned it off, but apparently pwi hates me, because after downloading it just brought up a notepad file instead of the installer b:sad
I'm trying the torrent download now, so hopefully the game actually downloads instead of another notepad file b:irritated
thank-you for your help though, Allisandre =D0 -
that's a bug in the installer because they designed it like it's a CD/DVD. Just open the folder it downloaded the files to and run install.exe.Take the time to look for your answer before you post like an idiot.

Finally got it back earlier today, thank-you so much for all your help the torrent download ended up working smoothly before I saw the explanation about opening the file. Thank-you again for all your help, Allisandre0
