The MechWarrior 4 Free Release is finally here!

So what... I boot it up and it downloads via torrent?

I don't know, I haven't tried to get this game yet, but there is a bunch of information on the first page of this thread about the torrent and about downloading. (or early in the thread depending on your forum page view settings)

Smart ****ing move.

Finally, been itching for some MechWarrior action all week.

I'm not going to try this again until they release an EXE including all updates that I can install.

You'd think they would've thought to use Filefront/Fileshack/any-other-upload-site.

Posting a 1.7 gig file on there is expensive as hell.

No, you boot it up, parts of the screen don't load, it renders your computer useless for 10 minutes (seriously, not even a "not responding").

You load your files into it, it takes 45 minutes to install the game.

The game doesn't load, keeps asking for disk 2, software tells you there is an update to install but it won't install it because "md5 checksums don't match".

You then throw your machine out of the window, knowing that anyone that finds it won't be able to use it because the piece of shit program renders your machine completely useless.

I really want to play it because you guys are so hyped, but this fails massively.

Filefront's free and I think Fileshack is free if an admin uploads the files.

They could even split it into parts with HJSplit and put it on Rapidshare.

All they'd have to do is combine everything in a zip file and upload it as a .torrent file. Then, people downloading it would share the burden of hosting the file.

People still download from file hosts? (not serious)
