Title: HOTU torrent
Post by: Kosh on February 26, 2006, 08:59:05 pm

I am trying to go with the HOTU torrent, but BT tells me to save the torrent to the disk first. Does anyone have just the torrent file?

you probably would want to download a full retail version of the game....  refer to this thread: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,38195.0.html

These version work MUCH better than the HOTU version of the game..  Also, they are complete...

I should take issue with that :D

Apart from the missing cutscenes (which aren't an issue if you're installing SCP on top of retail anyway) the new HotU build should be as easy to download and install as the 3 retail CDs if not easier! (No hassle with burning CDs, no problems due to the 16 bit installer etc).

The only thing that should be easier than HotU is ShivanSPS' everything in one download package.

What BT has you do is you save the torrent file which has the information on the seeders and such. It is also where the torrent itself will be saved as it's downloaded.

the HOTU version is great minus the fact that there are no cut scenes. I am waiting of the full SCP version to finish to make my evaluation

So the HotU version now has voice / music / hi-res etc.?

And one other thing... what kind of d/l speeds do you get on HotU?

Mine's sitting at 6.5kB/s (on 512k DSL)... Only 27 hours to go!

What happens if you try a direct HTTP download? The main advantage of HotU over ShivanSPS' torrent is that you don't need BitTorrent.
