Have you tried the same download on another PC? Perhaps try turning off any Anti-Virus programs you may have running and see what happens like that.

Thanks, Not too bad considering im only on 512kbs aswell

When is 2 your time? Im off to bed soon but if its in the next 10 minutes i might be able to play.

I found my new Favorite unit

Its the Huge Gun/cannon/Hellthingy that the Allies have

With people going around scouting and taking out things with tanks and people i can sit back build them over the map and hit any point of the map when required

Anyone else fancy one at some point today then?

If it is, I dont think it matters. The US release date is the 14th September anyway. I assume this is there way in attempting to stop people downloading it illegally and are more tempted to play the beta right until release

Dont they have things that stop people being able to play online if they have an illegal version these days?

Im gonna get it as soon as i can if Funds Permit

They only think that is annoying me a bit is later in the online battles it basically turns into an all out Tank and artillery battle.
I hope they put settings in so you can only use certain types of units in the Multiplayer game

I would also Like to see the British and few Australians fighting aswell considering its the Allies

For anyone who want's to try extra maps in the demo: http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=106683
