it starts.. and freezes instantly. doesn't download a thing, just sits there like paralyzed duck. it's not my firewall or anything because I gave it green light when it was asked.. I've had the same problem earlier with this very same downloader, and frankly speaking, I'm slightly frustrated.. where are the gypsies when my axe needs a workout?:argue: any help would be appreciated.

Hi Lionus,
Try this Download Manager. :-

www.freedownloadmanager.net/ (http://www.freedownloadmanager.net/)

It was recommended to us in SOH before our--"Crash", I installed and have been using it ever since. It's free and excellent.

I downloaded ETO Update 1.20 and 1.01 yesterday and each one downloaded in a couple of minutes.

Once you have it and go for the ETO down load again, this will automatically take control and ---Voila !!! You've got it.

Hope this helps.

Bill T.

PS:- Best delete the down loader you have first--------------------LOL

Guys, what're your ip's ...dsl, cable, fo, dial-up (god-forbid)
I have the slowest fo and the download was extra fast... a lot faster than some other stuff

I used the freeware "TCPOptimizer.exe" and it REALLY fixed my 'bottom of the line' fibre optic!

Hello,

I still do not play ETO because I have a clumsy arrangement (Internet on Linux rig, none on Windows one) and have not yet figured out a solution. The direct link is a VERY GOOD new for me as I can download from Linux !
Would it be possible to have also a direct link for the core ETO 1.0 ?
Other way would be to find someone to send me a DVD, but "soft" solution would avoid cost and bothering someone with this.

Many thanks !

Used JayKae's direct link and installed perfectly, Thanks JatKae! One quick question, the Firepower bomber pack download. Do you need to have Firepower installed, or is this a separate download? Thanks in advance

You need to own the Fire Power add on then you copy the B-17s and B-24 folders to your ETO install, then run the utility to convert the aircraft to the ETO install.

Perhaps direct link should be added as standard procedure when next update arrives. would probably save a lot of people from headaches. :typing:

The reason why I build a downloader is to save people from having issues with files that come in that are corrupt etc, it seems to work well 99.9% of the time, there is however unfortunately some people that it does not work for, that is why I browse through these forums to make sure everyone is helped out with the file download :)

Jay you have done an outstanding job in resolving the few download issues that folks have encountered. The ETO team appreciates your support.

I really agree with this. Keep the download the way you think is better for most of us. Other guys will get things to work at least, as you kindly help in those cases.

Thank you very much :wiggle:
