The other great thing about Gamers Gate is that event though you need to use their download tool (which *does* support resume if you lose your connection), is that once it downloads, it downloads a real honest independent installer. You can take this installer and save it on a dvd or whatever and you never need to download it again if you do not want to.
For example, my KB finished downloading and I have these files:

All ready to archive for future use. I can't say enough good things about GG. Their old download tool was pretty crappy especially for Vista. Their latest download tool is much better.
p.s. Hey Jetau, still playing UFOET?  |
Bman, you are taunting me with those download times. I am up to 31% now, but at least I can see that it's not all one file to download. I was worried that the d/l would crash during the night and I'd lose everything.
And no, I haven't played UFO:ET for many months now. I dropped in over at ufo-scene recently to catch up with Vanguard and the old crew. Well, that community has completely died now, which is a real shame considering the game only came out 16 months ago.
Chaos Concept turned out to be the worst developer ever for post-release feedback/support etc. A real shame, because UFO:ET is just another obscure title now.
For those who don't know bman654, he is or was the king of UFO:ET modding. His 'Ease of Use' mod added XCOM aliens to UFO:ET and MUCH more. You can bet that he's working out how to mod King's Bounty as we speak.
