I really appreciate the new WADs and textures however, there is one MAJOR download problem:

THE DOWNLOADING WON'T STOP.

It is said in the Eidos download page as well as in the Eidos FTP that the Angkor WAD is 10.2MB big. I downloaded it but it wouldn't stop downloading even after 100% has been indicated. I tried continuing the D/L with hopes that there was an error in your indication of the file size. However, my Angkor WAD is now at around 20.5MB and still coming. The same goes for the revised WAD zip which is supposed to be 11.8MB but is now 19.7MB large.

On a side note, I've experienced the same problem while D/Ling the Deus Ex SDK which is located on the same Eidos FTP server.

I hope you Eidos folks could shed light on this. Here are some notes which would be helpful:

1) My connection is 56K. (Meaning I've really spent a lot of Net time D/Ling those files...)
2) I've tried Go!Zilla and GetRight but still encountered the same problem.
3) Downloads work well with other FTP servers such as ZDNet, CNet and CDROM. So far, from my four years of downloading off the Net, this is the first time I've encountered this download problem.

Thanks for the attention Eidos. I really hope to get my hands on those new WADs and textures. However, with this problem still prevalent (as far as I'm concerned), I will opt not to D/L any files for the meantime as to conserve Net time. (I'm on a local ISP and they charge by the minute...)

I hope to hear from you guys soon. It will be much appreciated.

P.S. I've e-mailed this exact same message. I hope you guys get to reply ASAP. Thanks.
