Yeah,
I pretty much shut down all non-essentials, but I still get the freeze in the WinRar portion of the dl which is the BMPs.
After so many freezes in the WinRar portion, I cancelled the install while in the midst of dling BMPs (WinRar). Doing so sent me to another screen where the ambient WAV files were downloaded.
I have even, during a freeze in the WinRar portion, just let the comp freeze and waited 30 min just in case it was dling and I just did not know it. No luck, still missing the Wav files. I may be missing othe files but I havent played enough of the game yet to know.
