    Default help downloading Third Age

    This is my first mod I've personally downloaded. I started downloading Third Age from http://www.moddb.com/mods/third-age-...omplete-hotfix. Around 40% a window pops up and says that its timeout and closes the downloading window. Anyone got any ideas?

    Yeah, you do have to register (forgot about that) but there are free public servers so you don't have to pay.

    You can try here too: http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/m...mod/31146.html

    It seems to be a problem with your internet connection since you "timed out" when trying both links. I don't think it's a coincidence. Do you have problems downloading other large files?

    Try using a download manager so you can continue your download in case of interruption.

    I just finished the download and it told me the source file could not be read...so I spent an hour downloading it for nothing

    Well like i said this is the first mod that ive downloaded (although my brother did get the retrofit mod on my laptop). I hate to say it but im not the best with computers and all that stuff so where would i find a download manager?

    I would have jsut asked my brother but hes conveniently away at bootcamp

    It doesn't matter that it's a mod, as far as your PC's concerned it's just another "file".

    You can find plenty of "free download managers" if you simply google the quoted phrase, try something like this: http://download.cnet.com/Free-Downlo...-10301621.html

    or if you're using Firefox you could go with this add-on for it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201

    Now I can't be 100% sure this will help you since I have no idea why are you getting those time outs but from what you tell me you're able to download large chunks of the mod file so common sense tells me you should be able to download it all one part at a time via a download manager since they allow you to continue interrupted downloads.

    Good luck.

    If your haveing a problem with a download from home, take your 2+ gig memory stick to a net cafe/computer shop etc, they will download at 300-400kb a sec or so and the whole thing will take 90mins, so it will cost you a few quid but not much more, port it over to your memory stick and take home.

    Just in case your still haveing a problem from home.
