The only good files you have in that install are:

Fred.hlp
patchw32.dll
refcard.rtf
Data\std.cfg
Data\freespace.vp
Data\pxohelp.txt

The rest are missing / bad.  How fast can you download?  And, you can has torrents?

Thanks .

Can you first upload just freespace.exe to see if then will work .

If not i will post here again , if you have time to upload whole FS1 somewhere .

I really want to try FreeSpace 1 and Silent Threat because i didn't play them but i'm big fan of FreeSpace 2 .

FS1 or FS2 I have both on the hard drive.

They're both retail so you'll need Turey's installer to get the goodies we play now days

[jr2]

Umm... hmm, halabit, try using Turey's Installer (see my sig for a walkthrough)... that will download FS2, FS2Open, and FSPort (which is a FS1 > FS2/Open port).  I thought you actually wanted retail for some reason... if you just want to play it, then use Turey's Installer, and make sure you check FSPort (and the mediavps if you can help it).

OK i will do it , thx

The FreeSpaceZone link does not work.

[karajorma]

Use the FS2_Open installer instead.

Well, I'm on a low bandwidth connection and I really need to be able to stop and resume downloads. There's no way I can get all the files at a stretch. Can this installer resume downloads? If so, how? I stopped after 400 mb and I'm not sure how to get it to resume.

[Jeff Vader]

If you install FSO with the Installer to the same directory where you were downloading before, it will take note of the files you already have and not download them again.

[windrider]

The installer does not automatically resume if the connection is cut off. That makes it even harder for me.

[Jeff Vader]

K. Consult the manual, if you haven't already.

[windrider]

Yes I have. The installer works fine. Just that my connection sucks and so I have to manually restart the installer and reselect options every time the connection drops. This should be fixed when I get a new modem on Monday.

[colecampbell666]

Well then wait till then.

EDIT: And kara, you might want to remove NukeLOL, Swantz had to take down the images.

Look in my signature, and in the same line as "Walkthrough", get hip63's FSSCP DVD via torrent... torrents can resume with ease, and are nearly impossible to corrupt.  You might want to make sure you're connectible, though.  (Is that how you spell connectable?  I think the spellchecker has a mistake.. w/e.)

If you need help setting up your ports, get uTorrent and look up "port forwarding" in the PortForward guides.

[windrider]

Alright, I'm trying the torrent instead. Thanks for your help.

[Jeff Vader]

You might want to make sure you're connectible, though.  (Is that how you spell connectable?  I think the spellchecker has a mistake.. w/e.)

Wiktionary states that both forms are acceptable. But dunno. The i just doesn't feel right in that word.

[windrider]

The word itself sounds odd. We could just say 'can connect' instead.

[jr2]

I like connectable, because it sounds/looks like connect able. 

[windrider]

The torrent's running at good speed (for my connection, that is). I should be done in another 38 hours. No, I'm not kidding.

I would like to thank the seeders.

[jr2]

To achieve a true maximum speed (stop the torrent, do this, and then resume it), go to http://www.speedtest.net and see what your max connection speed is... find the max upload speed, divide it by 8, then take the result, and multiply it by 0.9.  Set that result as your maximum upload (seeding) speed in uTorrent (right-click on the upload speed indicator, in the lower right of the main window).

Torrents can only operate at max speed while uploading, usually the optimum is 80-90% of max upload speed = you get max download speed.  The calculations above do this for you.  Now, if this slows you down (after a few minutes), then, replace 0.9 with 0.8... try that, if not, drop to 0.7, etc, etc.

OK?   

After you're done, then set the max upload speed to suit your browsing needs, and leave it seeding (you can stop, then resume later if you have to) until you have at least a 1.000 ratio... any higher, and you are helping the torrent out! 

Oh, and, when you're done installing, rename the \FreeSpace\port_v3 to \FreeSpace\fsport ... or some stuff won't work. 

[windrider]

Yeah. Talking to you on IM right now.
