According to another website, press ignore and continue :)
But using the torrent posted in the other thread might be better for your download speed.

thanks,

but what does a torrent do?



tried turning off my firewall to open up all ports, but it still freezes up and sates the error message again. my kbps also dropped to 45. and it stops downloading

I got the same error message. Like someone above said. Just ignore it. My download has carried on working fine with the error message still showing.

The downloader is an all in one bittorrent client + .torrent file.

If you know how to use a bittorrent client, and have one setup properly already, youll prob have more luck downloading it that way: at least youll understand any error messages and know how to start/pause/stop your download etc.

hehe ty for the link I wasn't aware of it. The downloading proggy that comes with GOAs torrent appears to disagree with me. :(

You should get some nice download speeds from that torrent that has been posted.

any idea of how using that torrent instead of official download client will impact on converting/patching to headstart/launch client?

I'm guessing the patcher will simply recognise the files regardless of how they were download

correct. the official downloader is just a torrent client (not a good one).
