Am at wit's end
Been trying to reinstall Entropia for the last 5 days
It started by offering to repair some files, which I allowed it to do, and the download was going fine , 400/500 kB/sec, then dropped like a stone to 12kB estimating >99 hrs to complete
Kept trying, failing, scanned for virus/malware/spyware, all clear
Decided to uninstall and do clean install, went fine then errored in textures.pak
Entropia offered to fix files, and was back in the loop 500 kB dropping to 16kB (tried this numerous times btw)
Got son to put his copy onto portable drive and bring it round, and copied his version over to my pc
It updated, then was back in the loop "fix errors? 16kB/sec
persevered and uninstalled, download new install-/error decompressing/"fix errors?" blah blah
Bit the bullet, formatted machine, and reinstalled windows, after getting graphics/sounds/other stuff, was good to go and went to download Entropia onto clean machine, voila! back in the loop, error decompressing, then offering to fix and 16kB download speed
Could the be an error in MA's source files?
Am stuck now, am actually downloading the new install but I know I am in for another night of install/error/fix and prospect of, if I ever get so depressed, actually LET it download the texture pak at 16kB lol, see you after xmas I s'pose
