There's a variety of programs which will allow you to connect to a server multiple times and download a single file through multiple connections, I'm using GetRight.

http://www.getright.com/

Once you have downloaded and installed GetRight, use it to start downloading VU10.3 from:

http://dlmirror.entropiauniverse.com/entropia_universe_10.3/entropia_universe_10.3.0.35944_setup.exe

or

https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/downloads/entropia_universe_vu10.rar

Once the download begins, from the download window click on Options -> Accelerated (Segmented) Downloading -> 4 - Four

[br]Click to enlarge[/br]

This will open 4 connections to the MA download server and download a segment of the entire file from each connection then put it all together as one.

My connection speed just using the CL or the MA torrent app was only around 60-80kbs, with segmented downloading I'm at 250-400kbs.

Hope this helps some folks.

Nice option.

So far, we have:

Direct download
DNA Torrent from FPC
Torrent started by Dante
and now this one.

This method is technically a "direct download" as it's coming straight from entropiauniverse.com, it's just not using the traditional method of client loader or MA's torrent.

There's also a https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/technical/170972-newsgroups-download-available.html

and an FTP:

u can try this , a friend shared ftp://ftp.ines.ro/entropiauniverse/

I tried adding the FTP link as an alternate for GetRight to use so I could have 4 segments however there's a size mismatch which I find to be a bit fishy.

Unfortunately MA did not published any MD5SUM for the file so I cannot verify if it was downloaded corectly, I just used lftp with 4 segments to get it from MA's site. I've put the file there for some friends that trust me, I certainly don't recommend anyonene to download software from unsactioned sites.
 
I've completed downloading the file and during installation I received an error that there was some problem with decompression. :mad:

I think it may have to do with the fact that my PC went on standby from inactivity at one point during download. :scratch2:

Going to download again through both Dante's Torrent and GetRight (2 seperate downloads).

(I did not upload this and I do not take credit for it, I found these at http://entropiauniverse.pl/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5830)

Have fun!
 
Got my own update via the clent loader but also downloaded Dante's torrent to help out with seeding so should be both those.
But I voted client loader as thats where I got my own from
 
my connection died after 5 hours (using client loader) and after reboot, nothin was saved... so now start all over from 9 hours again.... sigh=(
 
From 711, (what I'm now downloading at 450kbs):

For security reasons, participants should only download the EntropiaUniverse client software from MindArk-approved sources.

I have spoken to Marco|FPC, and he has authorized me to host a verified mirror version of the new 10.0 client software on the EntropiaForum servers.

The URL for the EntropiaForum mirror of the VU10.0 client is:

Thankyou so much William Cyber Punk!

The segmented via getright has worked excellent for me especially since your mirror has gone up.

Was downloading at 50kbs on a 8meg connection from DNA and was getting pretty fustrated!

Now im downloading at a blistering 500-800kbs so im gonna get it in less than a hour from now!

If your having trouble i reccomend this method.

LOL as i was writing this it crept past 900kbs!
 
i have a 30mb connection though... some turbo boost cable thing through brighthouse... which is timewarner...

1.5mb-2.2mb was my average so not bad...
 
You can actually use bitTorrent to add even more than 4 segments, as well as download from others.

How to webseed:
copy paste http://dlmirror.entropiauniverse.com/entropia_universe_10.3/entropia_universe_10.3.0.35944_setup.exe in your webseeds (in utorrent, go to the properties of the torrent >advanced>webseed)

now your downloading from the mirror and from other people :yay:

screenie:

(this was just an extreme test, plz dont really add 34 webseeds xD, i've now also limited it to 10 connections, more connections does not mean more speed( same speed with 10 as with 30))

I'm at 900kbs through bitTorrent now!
 
I'm using Dante's torrent because neither of the official MA options actually work for me. Direct from the client, crash. DNA, seems to have alzheimers - I get at most 22 MB and then it just hangs there and does nothing, eventually giving an error. Since DNA does not resume, I had at least 3 copies to delete off my desktop. Torrent may not be the quickest, but at least if I lose the connection, I know it will resume and not force me to start all over. Ah well, my ISP is slow and not the most reliable to start with, so this could be days... *sad, mournful violin solo* :rolleyes:

btw, I am SO insanely jealous of some of the lightning fast d/l speeds I've seen screenies of. I mean, honest-to-god mb/s? I have never seen such a miracle :laugh:

That's why I never like to use downloaders etc if I can do it an alternative way.


For anyone who wants to know, the MD5 of the file from the official server is b029d68327635d3c03ba89332fb50137
 
Thank God for Dante's torrent.



I dont think Mindark should call their 'torrent' a torrent as it doesn't resume and I've no idea what they did to break the clientloader download.

I just hope they can fix it for 10.3.1.
 
I am trying to dowload from the official Link using a download Manager (IDM). Getting a speed of 90kbps.

Already Downloaded around 1 gb..

I am not able to use multiple chunks download as the file size is shown unknown also as the file size is unknown it won't allow me to pause.

With this speed it might take me another 8-9 hrs. And can't be on for that long. Any suggestion what I might do to either pause it or use the chunks download.
 
Strange, I downloaded it directly using Orbit downloader, which used 8 connections and went at ~250KB/s

Now I've attached it to the torrent and I'm seeding
 
Useful thread consider this a bump.

+rep
 
Workin on it via RAR file:)
 
i downloaded it on my laptop... and got 18.6mbs amazing speed... from the CL...
 
There is a useful TCP/IP Optimizer at speedguide.net which may also help, it upped my speed from 110k to 250k using getright (cheers for that William!).
