The prize can be pretty decent, but can be very small too...Geek wrote: Keep in mind it is a real lottery though, you have only a small chance to win.
It is a genuine lottery!

Even though I said I wasn't, I'm trying it again. I'm getting a bit rate of 135-250 KB/s. Granted, not exactly FTL but even so shouldn't be slow enough to time out.Alan Phipps wrote:Is the transfer bitrate slow while it is working? If so, it could just be your system timing out and/or some regular online update/check interfering with the download.

I would bet that is your problem. A mirror to XDownloads or Nexusmods would be helpful, if the mod authors are amenable.
For the moment, if your download fails again, I could probably temporarily place a copy in my Mediashare folder and PM you a link to use. Will take a while, because my upload rate is molasses.
EDIT: You know, you should try installing a Download Manager utility that allows you resume halted downloads. That might allow to you complete the process properly. (My rate right now is much, much worse than you: ~20 KB/s).
