Downloads freezing

[millarski]

Hi everyone. I'm new here and hope this is the right place to post this.

 

I am trying to download an official patch for Football Manger 2010. The problem is that the download progress reaches a certain % level then just freezes. The % stays the same and the actual figure for whats been downloaded stays the same. I've tried getting it from 3 seperate sites and the same problem occurs. After a while i get a message saying that the connection to server has been reset.

 

I am using a dongle from 3. I have excellent signal strength as i am only 2 streets away from a 3 tower. I also have 15Gb download a month which is around 500Mb a day. As i only do general browsing 95% of the time i never even come close to this. the patch is 180MB.

 

I am getting really irritated by this. I need the patch to fix bugs in the game as they are affecting the gameplay and my enjoyment.

 

Any help is appreciated

 

cheers

It would seem that its an error with the patch itself.

if its stopping at the same place on all 3 sites (you will normally find that the 'file' is only mirrored from the official site anyway)

 

check with EA or whoever the developer is on their website and see if there is an issue listed and a fix

As your using a 3 G dongle have you tried using someone elses computer to download the patch and transfer using a USB pen drive or disk to transfer to your computer?

Dalo - thats something I hadn't considered. I will look into that.

 

Jelly Bean - I think i'll do what you suggest as it'll confirm wether or not its a problem with my computer or with the file like Dalo thinks.

 

Thanks for the responses guys
