Looking at your picture it looks like the download has cut off before the file is complete, you have 23.5mb, and the patch is 28.5mb, try a different mirror, or a download manager like getright.

Dan,

Thanks for the quick reply Dan, just a thought, I'm hiding behind a poxy server, would that cause the problem?

As Dan said,

Download http://www.getright.com/ and it can resume the transfer even if it breaks off which is what seems to be happening to you.

Not sure why your transfers are ending early, as it could be down to many things..... ISP, router, NIC, BT or even Richard Branson !

Getright will solve your problems

Maybe, just get getright or similar, then at least you can resume, also what browser are you using?, I find IE a lot worse for downloading than Firefox.

I prefer ftp programs for downloading, but mostly you cant get any ftp mirrors :/

Thanks for help, still didn't work.
Poxy server getting in the way.

I'll get the full unzipped folder from a mate.

Cheers for all your suggestions

1st time i downloaded the patch (s) it didn't unzip properly. tried from another mirror and it worked fine. then updated to patch T several hours later

just tru another mirror. proxy shouldn't be an issue with most (all?) mirrors.
