All I can suggest is a download manager, such as Internet Download Manager. The servers are known to be slow, so please be patient with them.I have been trying to download the Weidu versions of Shadows of soubar and the Darkest Day from the Wizard's Site. it is so slow that i have been disconnected "timed out" several times and i only have about 15% downloaded. i am on a cable modem, not dial up. i just wanted to know if anyone else hs had this problem and if anyone had any suggestions for speeding up the download. thanks alot.

I myself use FlashGet to download bg things from Wizard's mirrors. And use the FTP links as well. This way I get decent speeds of 5-20k... try that and see how it would work for you

FlashGet is a program for accelerated downloading. You can get it here: http://www.amazesoft.com
don't worry, it really is normal; it seems like everyone is having problems....

thanks. i tried flashget, but it didnt seem to help much. i did notice that if i get timed out and restart, it picks up where i left off, so if it takes me a couple days to download, thats ok.

the good thing about FlashGet is that it can open more than one connection for one download so that's what helps with the speed
