    I just read yesterday that it needs a custom downloader but the site where you can get that is (or was at the time of reading) inaccessible and even those who got the downloader have connection problems, restarting downloads and corrupted files. Doesn't sound too good.

    My understanding is that you first have to download MTX, (basically, their download/patch manager), and then get it through that mechanism. Since MekTek decided to go this route, instead of through a decent torrent mechanism, their server is a molten pile. Give them a few days to sort it out. On a related note, if you type "mektek" into Google, "mektek down" is the second option.

    Bump! MekTek is back online, and ready to go.
