I suspect the problem is simply that he doesn't know how to work with either torrent or rar files (either one or both) and thus doesn't know what to do with the files he ends up with.

You can get Winrar from www.rarlabs.com to take care of rar files. BitTorrent is pretty easy to use too. Google UTorrent for a client that can work with a .torrent file.

I would like to personally apologize if anyone is experiencing slow speeds when downloading from my server.  I plan to have the issue resolved soon.

Ew. 7-zip FTW.

To bad it can only extract .rar files... =/

I hope they open up .rar some day.

.7z > .rar.


Still, I hope they open it up too.

Sorry I didn't take the time to read this whole thread and see if already answered, but can we put The FreeSpace Open Installer on the list in post 1?  The one currently there only installs retail, I think.  Shouldn't there be an option to get the one with SCP and all the MODs?

Does anyone have a torrent for the DVD version of FS2?

[jr2]

You can usually find those if you search...

[Megatog615]

Already did. No avail.

[jr2]

I'll see if I can find one for you..

[achtung]

Take mine down, seeing as Dreamhost didn't like me hosting the ISOs.

Well, i must say i'm impressed. Every single link in this thread, except for the HoTU link, is broken. Along with every single other link ever posted on the internet concerning a download of FS2, except for a certain ISO download that is about as slow as dialup on a bad day. Heck, even the FS2_open package torrent has no seeds! I'd download FS2 from HoTU except that it starts at 88 kb/s, falls down to 12 kb/s, and proceeds to shrink into infinitly smaller increments until it approaches 1 kb/s and the download's projected time is at around 99 hours.

Is there any feasible way for me to acquire FS2? And could someone please, please, PLEASE update this thread?

Here's a working FS2 torrent: http://www.mininova.org/tor/403521

Hm, my torrent that I've been seeding is working fine - btw, Huggybaby, if my share ratio is above 21.xx, how many seeds should I have?

[Huggybaby]

You usually won't build up many seeders unless you belong to a site that enforces ratios, or it's a very popular file. In this case too, there are several different ways to get the file directly which takes pressure off the torrent.

Your traffic does seem low right now (2 seeders and 1 leecher).

Probably the way you named the file (FreeSpaceSCPDVD with no spaces) is making it hard to find when people search on "FreeSpace".

I told them that...

They said searching "Freespace" works fine, although I know it doesn't

[blackhole]

Woohoo! You rock, hip63! I am downloading the rars now...

Yeah, I checked that and had the same results you did. Plus the name is not just important at isohunt. Your torrent name will propagate to all the other torrent search engines over time, so eventually it will come up on google. Anyway, you'll know next time. 

[hip63]

Woohoo! You rock, hip63!

This fact is not in dispute
