Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
Exiled:
Ugh, my computer has crashed twice while trying to torrent it from Demonoid. Complete crash - I can't even restart, I have to turn the computer off and on again. Before it crashes, my programs start to freeze up - I browse using Opera and Firefox simultaneously, and sometimes BOTH browsers have locked up at the same time for about 20 seconds. The music in Winamp drops and comes back on.
I'm on Vista, using uTorrent and downloading from Demonoid. I use Windows Firewall and NAV 2009. Can someone troubleshoot this and figure out why this is happening?

*unlurk* please don't eat me :P
Good grief, this game has my graphics card (HD 3850) instantly jumping to 99% load and 70c before the opening intro has finished, nevermind actually playing the thing. I know ATI haven't got the best reputation for good cooling, but I've not got a single app or game that manages that, and it's not an old card.
Yeah. When the game is loading or at the intro screens, or in CAS, my graphics card temperature skyrockets. My card generally runs hot anyway, but I was looking at temperatures in the high 80s. But when I start the actual game, the temperature plummets and stays at a reasonable level. Why do the intro menus do that?
It's very frustrating, especially since it doesn't seem to be a rendering issue (since as above, the game itself doesn't do it--and furthermore, when the window is not in focus, the temperature drops (even if stuff is still going on and the window is not actually covered up).

I spent 2 days downloading this bloody thing and now I can't install it. I'm getting an error message like so:
>SetupNew\setup.cpp(140)
PAPP:
PVENDOR:
PGUID:
$15.0.0.498
I am decidedly unawesome, so could anyone shed any light on what may be going wrong here?

I've downloaded all 15 parts from http://www.warezscene.org/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=669265 and also downloaded Daemon Tools so I can mount images, however... I'm a bit of a hopeless noob when it comes to technical stuff.
Anyone willing to hold my cold, clammy hand and tell me the steps I need to take to get from here to actually playing the game?

extreme lol.
I started with the mininova link my original d/l time estimate was 3ys 7wks.
I are restarting this torrent.
