Hi
Don't skip patches; but try install them manually may help.
1: Get a good(none corrupt full version) using a good downloader; don't use your browser;
Latest Full Installation File Version 10.8.0(3.1GB) - 2010/02/18:
entropia_universe_10.8.0.42477_setup.exe
2: Download these patches to Entropia foder(where you see version.txt)
Update_10.8.0.42477-10.8.1.42850.exe - 12.3 MB
Update_10.8.1.42850-10.8.2.43641.exe - 14.0 MB <--- Latest Patch VU 10.8.2 -- 2010/03/08
When downloading a big file you should use a good download program; don't use your browser(I know it has a resume feature but not good enough)
Here the program I use when a file is big:
WGET
1: get wget. download two zip files below and unzip them.
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/wget-1.11.4-1-bin.zip
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/wget-1.11.4-1-dep.zip
2: copy files in wget-1.11.4-1-dep\bin TO wget-1.11.4-1-bin\bin
3: copy the command line below to a Notepad and save it as a batch file to get-1.11.4-1-bin\bin
wget.exe --tries=88 --waitretry=180 --continue --read-timeout=44 http://dlmirror.entropiauniverse.com/entropia_universe_10.8.0/entropia_universe_10.8.0.42477_setup.exe
for download from a proxy:
Add the proxy setting and change proxy.testing.com.au:80 to your proxy name and port like this
set http_proxy=proxy.testing.com.au:80
wget.exe --tries=88 --waitretry=180 --continue --read-timeout=44 http://dlmirror.entropiauniverse.com/entropia_universe_10.8.0/entropia_universe_10.8.0.42477_setup.exe
