Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
Frally:
Update with my problem, just in case anyone was having the same problem:
I downloaded the fixed setup exe and it works fine now. One of the downloads had a corrupted version, and of course, that's the one I chose!
Exiled:
My computer just crashed for a third time. I notice that every time it freezes up, it seems that the downlaod speed drops to nothing and it takes about 20-30 seconds for it to unfreeze and download speed go up, as seen in the above picture. Is that normal for a download?
To test it out, I just torrented some music and it didn't freeze once. I went to TPB and added those trackers and deleted the demonoid trackers, but it also froze and dropped off. I've killed the download until I get further info about why this is happening and how I can prevent it.

I have not posted here in a very long time. After reading all these posts, I've decided to ARRR my copy of TS3, since it doesn't look like it would be worth me spening the $50 which I don't have at the moment. My question is this:
I was going to try to DL from Pirate Bay or ISOhunt, but on both sites some guy named B_O_L_T has been posting a warning that the download contains a virus in the setup.exe file; it's a codec file. Actually, this is what this person says:
***contains virus***
The file Sims3Setup.exe is a self-deflating executable archive. It contains two files, the real "sims3setup.exe" and a file "codec.exe", the archive runs both when called by Autorun.exe. The file codec.exe is a virus dropper.
Before downloading from either site, I want to verify whether this is true or not. The Admin on PB says the DL checks out, but I"m leery of getting anyting on my computer that has a virus. Is there anyone who can verify this before I start?

Downloading from a private tracker that's open for registration, if anyone's interested. It's moving along, I should be finished in 4 hrs. since the public downloads are moving at a snail's pace. The place is SeedGames.org. Hope it's okay to post this, if not then I am ready to be hit with nOob balls.
Genlisae:
And it would now appear I can't save. I keep getting an error 13 which according to the readme the pop up directs you to is 13: Post-save callback failure.
I have also run headlong into a complete game ruiner for me. I seem to recall this mentioned before but I can't recall where (could have been in the ingame help files for all I know) but the ageing slider applies to the current household only. Thus my sims who had a baby 5 sim days ago will still have a baby 20 somethings days from now. Meanwhile their neighbours who had a baby a day later are happily ignoring their toddler.
