I'm downloading it now. :) BTW, the Gigex download util they are using to send the file seems to be great: the download already survived one lost connection. Let's hope the file is not corrupted... -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome.

Where can I download it? Andre

Gozilla! works fine to resume downloads for 99.9% of the sites out there. ________________________________________________ Jon Van Ginneken "Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play.

I'm sure you have it by now, but if you don't goto 3dfiles.com Jon

In anticipation of the Driver demo, I downloaded Gozilla, but did not install it yet since the demo became available while I was still online. So I don't know exactly what it does, yet. I agree that forcing people to use a certain service is annoying, so I can see why you would prefer to not to use Gigex. But then, I was really impressed with the speed and reliability of Gigex. It survived three lost connections, one of which I forced since I had to make an important phone call. Gigex just sat there, patiently trying to reestablish a connection. Once I dialed up to my provider again, Gigex automatically resumed the download. I like that. It meant a lot less hassle and annoyance than the usual procedure. -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome.

I'm also really warming up to Gigex since it isn't someting you install, but just a .EXE that automatically downloads said file and resumes broken downloads. It's an all in one download client without the installation hassle of Getright or Gozilla! Similiar to ie5setup.exe in execution. > -- > Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome. cancellation warned.

But the demo i downloaded didn have support for JOYSTICK or wheel. Only keyboard.

Well, if you use Netscape, you can always get SmartDownload, which is the same as other resume clients, 'cept it's built into Netscape and starts up automatically when you download an .exe or .zip. The only downside is it has a pop-up window for some ads and has a tendency to crash or restart when the download is almost over. (Very frustrating on a 56k). Of course, you could always just get CuteFtp and have a ball... ;) =-Rigs-= '...whatever answer, however illogical, must be the truth...'

>But the demo i downloaded didn have support for JOYSTICK or wheel. Only >keyboard. Then you got the old, unofficial demo. Test: does it show a GT Interactive and then a Reflections splash screen when starting? If not, it's the old one. If you see those splash screens, then go to the menu page (the one with the car and the guy standing next to it, hit the 'right arrow' on your keyboard once (BTW, this confuses me - the left arrow would be more intuitive for me) and the hood of the car will open and the word 'options' will be displayed. Hit enter, then highlight (with the arrow keys) the word 'input' (or input device, or whatever), hit enter again, and instead of 'keyboard', it should now say 'joystick'. Presto. If you have the old demo, you can get the new one from http://Driver.gtgames.com/home.html I would advise to also get the demo tweaking program from http://www.3dracing.net/ It makes the demo much more fun. :) -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome.
