How to download 4.36 and not use torrent?

Thanks for this explaination.

TO MAX and QUASI,
SUCCESS with the torrent install. The only additional step i had to do is pay for the WINRAR use. My demo version expired.
Torrent was fast.
Thanks again -
@huffer2 don’t you dare pay another penny. Get 7zip. Completely free opens all

Hi,
Many many thanks it all worked very well. I’m a little confused by Huffer2s post though. I just DLd the update and transferred the file to QBitTorrent. After the download was completed to my desktop I merely unpacked the zip file. I didn’t need 7zip or Winrar. Am I missing something?
Kind Regards
Dram.

I used the free version of winrar doing my 4.35 updates. Win10 wanted to use winrar again, and I did not know how to change this as my default unzip. Live and learn.

Sooo about that mirror?

When I used the recommended Torrent client to d/l 4.36 it kept stopping with “hashes do not match the payload”. I kept resuming and it all seemed to work afterwards. Very strange.
I, too, am no fan of Torrents.

No… for the avoidance of doubt – Windows has had built-in support for unzipping .zip files, for decades. Just right-click and select “Extract all”.
This works ok for very large 3GB+ zip files, like BMS.
Maybe some third-party theaters or mods are distributed in rar form? that would require 7zip or WinRar or similar

Do you have a vastly outdated torrent client?
If not, I would suggest running a memory test, you might have malfunctioning RAM.

I was talking with some of the folks on the VG BMS discord about the timeline on mirrors last weekend and the general vibe was the mirror pops up in a day or two. I myself have never seen it that fast,
I admit that I don’t keep notes on the lag time of BMS mirrors but my feels say it’s much closer to weeks than days after launch for it to o show up.
That reminds me, I need to go back to VG and tease them on that 2 day after launch comment for a mirror. So for the folks who are like NOPE on the torrent option hang in there, maybe next week.

@Buttons I still don’t get why torrent are so problematic overall…
It is even safer than straight plain download since you can’t hack the distributed source…

No. I literally downloaded the latest client a minute before I d/l 4.36.
There is nothing wrong with my system memory. I have no stability issues whatsoever, and the download worked (i.e. was not corrupted).
-
@Tiger-0 Which client? If you already said it and I missed it, sorry.
-
After you download it. What if you dont want to be a peer and ‘host’ the file for others?
-
@jcook just remove the torrent in the interface…
It will keep the files…
