I have spent many hours trying to download Morroblivion v054.7z the 2.5 gig file. Everytime, (5 times now) I get between 1.5 gigs to 2 gigs downloaded and then I get an error saying, " The file cannot be saved because Firefox cannot read from the source"

This is Very frustrating. I personaly dont think Google Docs was a wise idea to use for hosting this large file.

Is there a torrent or some other alternate download location as both of the Google docs links are problematic?

There is not a torrent

There is not a torrent download,but have you tried using IE,?,I know firefox is a good browser but it is giving you a firefox error message,so in this case IE might get you the whole download.

I havent tried IE but I will.

I havent tried IE but I will. Firefox message aside.. the browser used should not make a difference. i download 8 to 10 gig files all the time and Never have any issues. The error says it's a source file problem. To me this says Google Docs are screwing up. I will however try IE. If IE downloads the file with no problem, and most people use Firefox, the devs here are going to have to figure out a way around this problem.

Thank you. I'll report back in a few hours to tell if it worked.

Before you go,another tip on

Before you go,another tip on using google docs,try the file menu/release info choice and try right button/saveAS on the file.

Well IE did work the first

Well IE did work the first time. This is very odd. I can see no good reason why IE would work instead of firefox. Well, I say firefox.. It's Seamonkey actually, but it uses the same Firefox engine. Just didn't say Seamonkey at first because lots of folks would not know what I was talking about but it's the exact same.

Thanks. Hopefully now I can start the long process of getting this thing set up and play Morrowind like I've wanted to since we first started dreaming about MW on the Oblivion engine. I think this project is great. Too many people pass up Morrowind because of it's outdated graphics and style and they miss out on what a great epic game it is.
