Problems DL demo

Been trying to DL the game for almost a week now. DL craps out after getting half way thru - tried using Safari, Mozilla and curl from CLI to no avail...

What type of OS are you on and have you only tried Downloading it from it's offical Shrapnel site?

Mac OS X and I've only found one DL site - well, there are a few different DL links (like Apple page and another I found) but they all redirect to gamersfront.com...

Well rather than muck around with trying to figure out any number of technical problems with your browser, or router, or any of that, I have the file and I can send it to you either by your favorite PtP client or Email. The file is 71 Megs.

Send me an email at moebius at cableone dot net.

Alternative download site for Mac OS X demo (2.08).

On a sidenote, has anyone else noticed that the new 2.08 Demo wouldn't let one type capital letters when naming the pretender or a new game?

Yes. It also doesn't recognize anymore non-English keyBoards (AZERTY for example) under Windoze...

(in fact it didn't ever recognize my French keyboard, no way to get � � � � etc in the message editor, but at least normal letters were at the right place in 2.06 !

)

Hmmm, I couldn't reproduce this bug, after 2 restarts (not related to this) it now recognizes capital letters without problems.

Strange...

Edit: And just FYI, I am using a German (QUERTZ) keyboard.

What are the different Linux Versions for? I really know nothing about Linux, but as this computer has both Mandrake and Windoze and I have already tried Win I might as well try to get it working in Linux.
