Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 14, 2009 Administrators Share Posted October 14, 2009 Some of them may be very busy and not starting - as said we're trying to get these up and running but for now we'd suggest the Mirror links instead.

Columnarius Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Neil, I think you know already but just to summarize: 1. Torrent software for the Mac will not open the Mac Strawberry torrent file. The file in question is http://torrent.sigames.com:7000/torrents/fm2010_gold_demo-mac.zip.torrent?AB403F52E306E7C5E9E9FF432A9929D53B8ADDE1 which is in the thread http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=153770. 2. For direct download of Mac Strawberry, US mirror doesn't work at all. Dutch is pointing at the wrong file - 25MB. German #1 points to a 980MB file and is downloading slowly. #2 points to a site in German, which appears to be trying to charge to download although my German isn't very good and there may be a free option. --- The Vanilla download works fine. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twellman24 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 There is a free download version down the page, but most of the times its overloaded--too many users. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverCraig Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Yes, I downloaded it from Mirror Football. Java is updated and I have leopard so I don't know what could be the problem. Maybe trash the installer and try to unzip the file again. I guess it's possible something corrupted during the unzip. If that doesn't work, I'm stumped.
