Hi there guys I'm hoping somebody can help me out here as I am a total fail on a computer. Right so, i have become a premium member, i've downloaded winrar, gone to download the megapack.. And, twice now, it has downloaded about 75% of the file then some error message comes up? Does anybody know what is going on? Or how i can donwload it via a different method. PS, I've already downloaded the logos pack through winrar so I don't know what is going on.

Thanks, Dan.

Can you be more precise?

"it has downloaded about 75% of the file then some error message comes up? "

Does that mean the download (from the site) has failed at 75% through your internet browser or are you saying WinRAR has thrown up an error message during extraction of the download file?

Either way, for us to help we need to know what that error was.

And fyi, we have a dedicated Help thread for the Megapack HERE

Apologies it is in the wrong section of the forum. When the download reaches 75%, the download pauses, and says it has been interrupted(message from the browser, not WinRAR). I then press resume but it says that isn't possible.

Any ideas?

Had a similar problem and posted on a now closed thread. My download reached 25% exactly, three times in a row before stopping and refusing to resume. I was told that 10,000s of people had downloaded it without any problems, so it couldn't be broken.

In the end I gave up and followed someone's suggestion to download the older torrent, which took about 2 hours, I think and then download all of the updates separately. It was more than a bit of a faff to get it done properly and I'm not new to this as I've been doing this sort of thing since CM03/04.

So, in the end I got around my problems downloading the Mega Facepack from this site, but, like you, having paid the £10 for premium membership, I was more than a bit disappointed.

Apologies to you both.

I've asked site-owner Rob to look into it, but as Piginho implied, every day people are succussfully downloading the pack, so it's difficult to work out why it isn't happening for the few...will get back to you when we know more.

Daniel - can you give me the following info:
What Internet Browser you are using (and which version)
What version of Windows you are using

There may be more questions from Rob later, but that's all I can think of right now.

The internet explorer is version 9. And the windows is Windows 7 home premium. I hope this helps to diagnose the problem!

Piginho - can you possibly link me to which version you downloaded first?

Hi Daniel,
Don't know how to link you to it, but the first pack you download is near the bottom of the faces megapack download page, under the torrents section. Before I did this, I had to download UTorrent, which you can easily google and download, then make sure you select download torrent and it's faces megapack version 5.0 that you need. You will then need to download the updates, but these are not torrents, just standard downloads.

When you add them to your game, make sure you start with 5.0 and them add updates in sequence, i.e. 5.1, 5.2 etc.

I can't remember all the steps that I took, but I remember that it wasn't straightforward, however I got there in the end.

FWIW, I am also using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 9. Also, the claim that it's working fine for everyone else is surely worth investigating, as most people will have downloaded when they bought the game last year, so download activity may be low and others with problems may not be reporting them.

Sorry I haven't replied sooner. I would definitely recommend trying another browser such as Firefox or Chrome.

Another alternative is that you have some sort of timeout set in Internet Explorer (it does by default). Do you have any problems downloading huge files from other sites and do you know roughly how many minutes it takes to timeout rather than the percentage?

Hi there Rob. Sorry it's been a while since i replied! I tried downloading Chrome as my browser(as you suggested), and it has seemed to work! Successfully downloaded the faces pack and it is working fine, one thing i would say its considerably slower is this normal? Thanks!!!
