Alright, I haven't had this problem myself but I'm getting more than a little fed up with this. It seems like we tell everybody to use Tureys installer, and half the time the MediaVPs in that don't work. Nobody except me and two other people seed the torrent, and the manual download seems to be corrupt too. What is going on!?  :hopping:

Not to mention that, unless you are registered with Demonoid, you can't get the torrent from the release thread.

Thank you for notifying us... I was unaware there have been issues with the manual downloads.

The issue with Turey's installer is unfortunate indeed.

So who do we nag to get it fixed?

Turey, I'd imagine.

Does he host the files that are downloaded, or (as I suspect) does he just write the installer and point it to the appropriate hosts?

I really wish people would stop being stupid about the torrent link. There are two of them. One, yes, is for already registered users. The other one? does NOT require a registered user to use. And given the number of completed downloads I have run from that second link compared to the first advertises that it works. The only time it does NOT work is when nobody is online hosting it.

And as nobody posted any torrent mirrors for me to associate it with, there are no other torrent locations to get it from.

But it is apparently a pain enough that at this point, I am just not going to bother.

I'm sorry, but no, the links DON'T work. None of the four in the initial post leads to a .torrent file that i can download, instead they all lead me here: http://www.demonoid.com/error_messages.php?error_id=8.

EDIT: In a desperate attempt to be helpful, I've created a torrent of my own. It includes MV_Complete and MV_Music, the mod.ini and the Readme. Can be found here.

Excellent, I'll begin seeding right away.

Edit: But you'll need to get it to me first.  :p
