I thought the NBN fixed all of that?
Oh well, there's always Telstra, sure, decades behind the rest of the world
and primarily responsible for sabotaging any progress (NBN a case in point albeit with help from a few successive Labor govt's that for some reason the people thought were good.)
but they get there, ... sort of, ... well maybe eventually, ... in dreams.
(chin up, "Advance Australia Fair" and all that. Beautiful country, shame about the people.)

* "The Last Continent" - the late, great pTerry: Death held out a hand. I WANT, he said, A BOOK ABOUT THE DANGEROUS CREATURES OF FOURECKS-
Albert looked up and dived for cover, receiving only mild bruising because he had the foresight to curl into a ball.
After a while Death, his voice a little muffled, said: ALBERT, I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD GIVE ME A HAND HERE.
Albert scrambled up and pulled at some of the huge volumes, finally dislodging enough of them for his master to clamber free.
HMM... Death picked up a book at random and read the cover. "DANGEROUS MAMMALS, REPTILES, AMPHIBIANS, BIRDS, FISH, JELLYFISH, INSECTS, SPIDERS, CRUSTACEANS, GRASSES, TREES, MOSSES, AND LICHENS OF TERROR INCOGNITA, " he read. His gaze moved down the spine. VOLUME 29C, he added. OH. PART THREE, I SEE.
He glanced up at the listening shelves. POSSIBLY IT WOULD BE SIMPLER IF I ASKED FOR A LIST OF THE HARMLESS CREATURES OF THE AFORESAID CONTINENT?
They waited.
IT WOULD APPEAR THAT-
"No, wait master. Here it comes."
Albert pointed to something white zigzagging lazily through the air. Finally Death reached up an caught the single sheet of paper.
He read it carefully and then turned it over briefly just in case anything was written on the other side.
"May I?" said Albert. Death handed him the paper.
"'Some of the sheep, '" Albert read aloud.

don't mind about the animals trying to kill me, it's in their design.
people though, apart from not knowing which ones want to kill you also have to put up with the: annoying, obnoxious, thieves, con artists, stupid, noisy, 'fragrant', full of "good advice" ....
....
....

short version: with animals, [killer or no], you know what you're getting.

NBN deployment is still... work in progress!

Nearly 12 hours after the original post, and nobody's going to comment about the 120GB download?
At that size, a game really ought to come on its own hard drive. How many people can't even download that in a month?

I could download it overnight, while I slept - but that's still a silly size for a game!

12 hours later... 70 GB remaining (about 50 GB during the 9 hours nights)
Should be ready by Monday evening! ^^

|
|
|
|
At my speed, the next version of Call of Duty would be out by the time the download was done...
|
|
|
|
|
Daaaaaamn!
|
|
|
|
|
Well...maybe not.
But I would NOT be surprised if--if I was to try this--by the time I was done downloading the game, it would find an update...

Thanks Richard. No dice on the UAC virtualization...not there either.  A system wide search shows nothing.

Thank you! I've used this tool before but for some reason didn't think to use it this time. I did use it but it didn't really help in this situation. (it was more a programmer (me) error) But, thanks anyway! Happy Weekend!

Is this done via code, or are you doing it manually?

It's done in code. The program shows a list of samples and the user selects the one they want to download and connect to. I can manually paste in the zip file (in between message boxes where I have it paused) and it works.
Process Monitor show the file getting created, but it never shows up in the folder. I've tried from a half-dozen folders/locations now with no luck. (thinking it might be a virtualization issue)
Never mind...I got it working. It was a missed ftp setting causing the problem. Apparently, either passive mode or proxy is important on VMs.
