The first file stopped at about 47mb or something, claiming it was complete. Then it wouldnt download disc 2 and after that I got pissed off.

All sound like somesort of early-90s gameshow simulator, I swear i've seen real-life versions of almost all of those games on TV at one point.

Yeah thats true about the camera Yak but some of the games are surprisingly good fun.

Theres a firework one where you have to touch strings of the same colour rockets and hit the plungers to set them off before they go off the screen.

I think I'll go with Bit Torrent with that game too actually. I could do with much faster speeds.

Goddammit, all 3 CDs from the FTP are reading as knackered and wont extract properly. Typical rar archives, you only have to look at them funny and they fuck themselves up.

I decided to get Red Faction 2 off bit torrent instead because Suprnova didnt have the other game.

So what BT sites are people using at the moment?

CD 1 didn't work for me either. In fact I get some kind of I/O error. It wont even let me extract it.


I always recomend that when you upload something you upload it in smaller files, that way if something goes wrong or corrupt it's alot easier to fix or replace.

Very strange. Well CD1 was always in a single RAR so that was unchanged, but the other CDs I made into single RARs myself. I would make a parity file but unfortunately the files are no longer here.

Looks like anything I D/L is not coming down properly, I tried another DJ and a MAME ROM set and niether would extract.

DJ on Shanes works fine.

Except on the missus' athlon. Complains about ASPI or something and me and DM have tried to fix it to no avail.

Cant remember, I just picked something small that began with A to test.

Just tried Altered beast and that worked though, i'll give DJ another whirl tommorow just to see if the errors are consistantly occuring.
