Before you Download the v.81 Patch - "Must Know" Information for Fans!

[Kull]

The EB Team has had some problems with our FTP Server, and it's still not back to full functionality. In particular, browser access to files is not working normally. In order to download a file, you currently have to use either an FTP Client or be able to switch your Browser into "non-passive FTP" mode. As a result, when we post the Patch, it's going to be difficult for Opera and Firefox users to download the file - and even IE users with unmodified Browsers will get failures. This is one of the reasons why we are trying to have as many seeded torrents as possible, BEFORE the release.

A few things you can do to prepare:

1) Switch your browser into "non-passive FTP" mode (see the image of a modified IE Browser setting below)

2) If any of you know how to do something similar for Firefox and Opera, please post instructions/screenshots in this thread.

3) Use the BitTorrent links posted as part of the Public Release Announcement (and if you don't know anything about torrents, google is your friend - please read up ahead of time)

4) Volunteer to be Torrent Seeder (for details, see this thread)
