Anyone else having problems with Sprocket download?

[jpinard 10]

I can't get my download to even start...

[jpinard 10]

I'm pretty frustrated so far. 12 hours later I'm finally seeing a United States server but it keeps disconnecting instantly (using the Sprocket downloader).

My question is: If I download it via the European or Czech servers will the game be messed up as its localized for those areas? ie. the wrong language?

Otherwise I'm going to skip the failing US server and use one of those.

Thanks.

I had no problem switching servers, I switched back after it started downloading , and it continued on the US server. I had to do this for every file.

Its loaded pretty heavy. Problem I'm having, at least when starting "Setup04.bin" on the US server, is : Bad MD5 checksum after 409600 KB! Stopped, deleted the parital file, restarted, same thing. At that point it goes into a loop backtracking a few megs, hitting that point, rinse and repeat.

I just within last 15 mins finally got in, still on 2% goin very slowly. Hope all goes well. Averaging 159kb/s. In central US what are u guys downloads speeds @? Just outta curiosity. Any ideas where it's downloading from too, just curious, east coast, west coast, mars 8)- had to put that in there.

Brief Feedback:

Website - slow

File Downloader Download - slow 400bs - 4kbs

Actual Download - struggled to connect, watch tv, it connected and my internet was at max speed, went to bed, in morning download finish and now installed.

Overall Comments:

I expected the website to be slow or dead there isn't a computer on the planet that can handle all us hungry fans wanting to get some.

Once the download had connect it had very good speed through out.

I keep getting broken downloads and decided to try the downloader and went to bed. When I got up today, it had downloaded sprocket.exe. But when I click on that it says product is already downloaded? What can I do?

Edit: Doh! I hadnt realised that it had downloaded the files into my documents folder. installing now! all seems ok but I will leave this post up in case anyone else makes the same mistake.

Not really a mistake on your part...The sprocket downloader is the recommended method, but seems to be having a bit of trouble for a few people.

A manual install appears to sort the issue out for most...http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=1660338&postcount=80

Wish I could say the same. I woke up, and once more, it was stuck on setup04.bin, right at 409,600kb, with a loooong list of the same, 409,600 bad checksum error in the downloader log.

I have stopped, deleted the partial, and restarted at least a dozen times, on all nationality servers, same deal. Started the whole thing over, and same thing.

No clue how to get passed that part of the file.

Have you emailed support? That's the official way to get support, not through these forums.

[jpinard 10]

I got a message the download was completed when I woke up but the program failed. Where is this downloader program saving the file to?

On win 7 at least, it put mine in Documents\Sprocket.

Thanks, my folder only has 6.93 Gig of data. Is it supposed to be more like 9 Gig?

6.93 Gig is the same as mine. Just double click on the setup exe in the sprocket folder and it should do all the rest for you.

What bin file contains this file, as i would like to d/l again without doing the whole lot :mad:

[Defunkt 431]

We could do with having someone with a working download posting the correct MD5's for each file so we can check them ourselves. The downloader appears to get or create MD5's but I'm not sure how you'd then end up with a CRC error like SnR's. If anybody would like to do this for us, Microsoft's MD5 tool can be downloaded from HERE.

Here's an MD5 for all of the files: http://solidfiles.com/d/67b0/

Use quickpar to verify files if nothing else installed: http://www.quickpar.org.uk/

Files to verify can be found in: C:\Users\*yourname*\Documents\Sprocket If Vista/Win7

Thanks very much, so far mine checkout.

Thanks for putting that up Placebo. I manually downloaded all the files and got a CRC error, according to quickpar #4 is damaged, same the downloader choked on. Trying another manual download from the Euro mirror... This has been frustrating to say the least.

It might be easier and take load off their servers if they put out a torrent?
