I have a faster connection at work. Can I simply download the Beta 4 at work and copy the Drengin.net directory to my home PC? Thanks (can't wait for the Beta 4 :d )!
First of all, apologies if any of the following have already been mentioned. I have made a quick check of the forum, but it's now getting a little large to check every post! Incidentally, could the forum have a search facility, which should mean that repeated posts are avoided? Some minor 3E bugs/possible bugs: 1. Spelling errors (really make any game look unprofessional): - alien creatures wandering into unpopulated areas event: 'dispite', 'wondering' & 'unconfrentational'.

I think this was caused by a bad connection, and for the benefit of anyone else having similar problems, it was solved by running loader.exe with the parameter /t 300000 (thanks, Stardock). I can now report the following minor bugs, and one suggestion (with apologies to anyone who has aleady reported these):- Spelling/typing errors: -'Declaration of Wa_' label on the Foreign Policy

Further to the above (and to my posts on the newsgroup) I have been trying to download the multimedia files on a completely different PC, with a completely different connection. This time the DGM is downloading the files in a different order, but it still keeps stopping at the same file (this time Planets.bi_). Could we please have 'normal' access to the files, so that they can be downloaded with GetRight, or similar. John Bolch.
I seem to be unable to download the GalCiv multimedia files. I get error messages such as '12019 Miscellaneous Error' and 'SDS0004 Failed to retrieve file xxx.xxx' at regular intervals. After much restarting, I managed to get as far as the file Weapons.md_, but that file is so big that I can't get through it without an error, meaning the DGM restarts the download of the file. Can I get around this? For example, is there not any way I can do the download with an auto-resume (like GetRight
