This is a relatively recent problem that seems to be tied to the latest divx codecs.  If you can roll back your codecs that would in theory fix it, but that's much easier said than done.  Otherwise it's a known bug that's being worked on.

Yep Divx 6 is the problem. For the moment the only solution is to roll back to divx 5.x.

No one is able to figure out at the moment why divx is misbehaving when every other codec works fine.

for now you can manually watch them by simply double clicking on them in the location you extracted them

I just downloaded one of the ISOs at an average of 700 Kilobytes per second. took about 13 minutes.

Even if I maintained an average of 5kb/sec, it'd take 2 days to download the main archive (forget the ISOs!) on my 56k. And as that's billed per second, it'd be cheaper to buy most games! Except that FS2 goes for $100-200 most places...

Meh... looks like I could be working with the HotU version for some time to come...

[Evo-Lightning]

noo...its not right

I finally get the chance to leave the pc to download fs2 rar from gamewarden and it says error 404

Gaa

thank you:)

[MatthewPapa]

bandwidth usage just spiked from 200 gb to 350, im shutting the download down because it must have gotten posted somewhere really popular. The download will be back up at the end of the month.

[Evo-Lightning]

that bites...75% one more day and i was done:eek2:

But i suppose it must be done...end of the month as in 30th? (sooner the better in my case, schools about to start)

[MatthewPapa]

omfg, WTF are you guys posting this link. DAMMIT, bandwidth is now at 400gigs and I owe $20. Great, just motherfreaking great.

[MatthewPapa]

Godamit, not again. no Fing wonder. whoever goes and posts this link in the somethingawful forums is a dickface and owes me at least $20.

[Evo-Lightning]

why is that forum so dredded? wats it used for?

[karajorma]

It's not that it's dreaded so much as the fact that MP had asked for people to keep the download link within the community and someone has gone and posted it on one of the biggest forums on the net.

[Evo-Lightning]

maybe a lurker?...whoever it be, i tear em limb from limb

they keeping me away from the sweet fso goodness

[Evo-Lightning]

[MatthewPapa]

i will put it up on bittorrent later. you can finish the download there
