I used Download Express, and on my high speed cable connection got the game and manual in less than an hour, no issues at all.
I set the game parameters based on all the great demo ( I didnt DL that) feedback in here and my PC's abilities, and I have to say the game looks and runs fine so far. Wish I had a week or so off in order to get to know it better, I cant wait to tackle that Normandy Campaign!!!!
Great work BFC....thanks for another fine product.
