[Tech Help] Error downloading

I have had the download on during the night and it were at 99% when I got an error message saying that it couldn`t access some file - and that I should try again in a little while. Now I have to start all over again? Opening the patcher it starts at 0%, and it doesn`t seem to recognice the files already downloaded. i would expect it to jump-start up til the file I am supposedly missing.

Update: Tried entering and it opens fine, apart from the fact that everything is pink - seems like I am missing a lot of graphic, and the client draws pink instead.

This is what I see:


Is the only option to download the whole thing again?

Update: Doing the whole patcher thing again after setting both client and patcher to run as admin in Vista, hope that works. But it moves terribly slow.

My PC crashed while downloading, and I also had to start from scratch instead of resuming - seeing as it's a 2gb download, I *strongly* suggest implementing a resume feature before going RTM with this.

I thought I read somewhere that it had a resume feature built in. If it doesn`t - would make more sense to get to download the whole file and use a download manager instead. Not that I am a techie or anything, I might be doing it all wrong in my eagerness to see the new client.

Up to 6%.. this is going to take awhile.

You can always try to run ChkDsk as the files got corrupted but may still be retrievable. I think someone else had this similar problem earlier, I also believe someone else had mentioned to try chkdsk to get the files back.

And it does have a resume option, but your files got corrupted due to a crash (or something)

It took 2 hours but finally it patched correctly and I got to try it a bit.
