Remember last time I said I was giving up? Well I tried one more overnight and it failed again. Frustrated, I suddenly realized I have 10 gigabytes of webspace from my home ISP, so I had my girlfriend attempt a download on our home fiber that went through fine in about an hour, had her upload it to our webspace, and then used my FTP program to download it steadily over about 5 hours.
Now I can finally play.
I would be perfectly happy to share this link here for a few days for those people still having problems like I did, but I do not want to anger Battlefront. It is just the generic install file, still needs activation,but I can understand if Battlefront doesn't want it. Of course I am really only trying to help so, Steve, let me know if I can post the link here or if you do not want it.
Thanks! And I am glad to finally be playing
