Just as a note. I tried to download twice on windows 7 RC 64 and had CRC errors on the large files.

I finally tried on my Vista 32 laptop and it worked without a problem.

May save you some time, specially if you have a slow connections. Luckily I was getting 950KB/s :D

Let's play the 3rd incarnation of this truly epic game :yay:

That's odd, the downloader worked perfectly for me on my x64 Windows 7RC machine.

Make sure the partition is NTFS and not the old FAT32.

Yes mate.. I've Used NTFS since err win NT4.

maybe I have defunct mem module or something if it's downloading ok for everyone else.

I check with memcheck..

check memory, and try using different download manager. GetRight had flaws in past, with merging parts incorrectly. Try wget, or a newer download manager, like Flashget.

Just to report back on this.. even though I had ARMA 2 downloaded in vista 32 and then installed ok in WIN 64bit I found out my 4th memory stick was faulty.

I did trial and error with NVboot memory check on slow(the standard memory check didn't find anything) and the 4chip failed the slow check. I place this a standalone chip in my PC and tried downloading things and almost any download over30mb failed..

Happy to isolate the problem, even if I'm only running 3GB now. :)

Not got a clue how that relates?

So if I installed OSX on my PC with the bad memory it would have worked ok? :rolleyes:
