C'mon HT +)  thanks for 1.09 and all but please!!

get a real host for these files...

Based on past updates...

can we expect the host to suffer for the next coupla weeks?  I mean now the player base is larger than its ever been by a large amount, so I know the downloads will be continuing for at least a coupla weeks.

It was bad for all the updates I can remember.. i hope this one isn't gonna be the same...

If you are using the auto-updater,...its gonna be slow.  Download the patch from the download server from the web page.  That should be much quicker.

Same here was downloading at a whopping 1k a sec, and it just stopped downloading at 2.5 megs.  This is insane.

I was getting pretty poor DL rates too, but got to about 45% complete and it zipped right through. Only problem now is that it wont open. "Could Not Initialize Installation.(CRC)The Paramater Is Incorrect" is the mesege I get when I try to open the install wizard. Tried downloading the full version too, same results. All that waiting, and now I cant even install it:mad:  Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Im on cable too.. was going at a whopping 700bps  till 2 megs then WHAM! disco.

I already suggested that HTC e-mail or send some of us KAZAA users the file so we can host this patch in an alternate method, get the load off him.

So far this is horrible.

YES HT! We LOOOVEEE to beatch and waaaaiiinneeeE! :) :) :D

I finnally downloaded it and then it will not let me log on.   All I get is the white screen of death.  There must be something new in 1.09 as we can now ALT tab out of the white screen but it is still frustrating..     Tweak it out HT...
