    Not really suprising is it.... a lot of people just got redirected to that page!

    The most likely causes:
    The server is down for maintenance
    There may be a network problem
    The site may be experiencing excessive load

    I think I'll take the third one for €300 Bob.

    Post me up a link if it's a torrent please! :)

    Also, everyone should keep an eye on the facebook page as I'd hope they'll post something up there (i.e., they said they'd keep updating it).

    They had to know that a lot of people would hop on the download as soon as it was ready. They must have severely underestimated the numbers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 470 ✭✭moonlighting


    ya if anyone gets a working link please post here


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,332 ✭✭✭desaparecidos


    Regardless of the Greenlight approval proccess etc, Value should have offered to host this no questions asked. Instead it might not appear on steam for weeks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 470 ✭✭moonlighting


    on the forum some guys said they took the day off work to play this and now they cant download it lol

    Page half downloaded now, I'm not even planning on downloading now, just wanted to see what happened when the counter hit zero.

    Twitter could have been easily used to post a link...

    Hmmm... I hope this is real. I'll give it a shot. I'm not short of bandwidth.

    Edit: 1.35MB/s, so not bad.

    Torrent.
    edit: Seems dead :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,182 ✭✭✭Genghiz Cohen


    Now have a black screen with a loading bar on it, stuck at 89%.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,710 ✭✭✭Monotype


    Yep, the torrent is dead as gameupdates.org is down.


  • Registered Users Posts: 867 ✭✭✭IgsTer

    Have it downloading now getting roughly 5-6MB/s

    tracker itself is down but think i still managed to get peers from using dht/local peer discover/peer exchange


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,814 ✭✭✭TPD


    Feck, planned to start this going when it was released - heading home in 40 minutes, doubt I'll get it done before then. May have to wait till tomorrow to play :(

    Downloading for me at about 900kbs


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,873 ✭✭✭Simi


    Shacknews download speed is all over the place. Dunno when i'm getting it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭jumbobreakfast


    I cant seem to grab the torrent, can someone post the Magnet link please? (right click on the torrent in utorrent and select "copy Magnet URI", then paste it up here) I'm not sure but I think that might work for us


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,710 ✭✭✭Monotype


    Ah nice, just adding a few more trackers: udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80 has a nice nearly 5K peers and 100 seeds. It's a race between the shack now at 45% @ 800KBps.

    Should this not be showing up on Steam, since it got greenlight approval?

    If not, i'll wait for someone to upload it to rapidshare or somewhere similar, and hopefully get it later. Hate torrents.

    It's greyed out (private torrent?) but the one posted by Hawke should work, but you'll have to re-do the tracker as it has a few extra spaces in the tracker, or just add a few new ones.
