Its one thing when some random idiot yells the game is dying... and its another thing when the game's direct download link gives a 0kb file.
1. If I kill you; do something about it yourself, don't go complaining to my wife.
2. If you have less kill counts then me, don't expect me to take pk advice from you.
3. If you are hiding behind an alt, don't expect me to acknowledge your existence.

    Check your browser, or use a different one. I just tried it and am getting a 6.3GB file.

    "Random idiot" describes someone who blames the hosting company for what's essentially a problem with his browser. :P

    Moving to tech support.

    This seems to be on your end as I'm also getting a completely normal 6.3gb file.

    Saw this and thought it was one of those cliche MMO forum threads.

    How about use the torrent download, I prefer that over direct download myself. If it's giving slow speed I guess that would be a reason not to use it, other then that can't think of any other reason not to.

    Your internet is cutting the download before it is completed, and thus it is a corrupt archive. I'd suggest using a download manager. I just downloaded the file and it works fine.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again just for kicks....

    Use the torrent. It's faster, more reliable, and has built-in integrity checking.

    Also, don't forget to fix your security before you attempt anything.

    For the OP, no clue what your issue is, but you're part of a group of about 0.01%. This pretty much means that whatever the issue is, it's on your end.
