Anyone else having lots of problems downloading the mod, and the required components? I was planning on getting TDD Weidu and SOS Weidu, and then TBP, but the blackwyrm mirror is incredibly slow. About 4kbps. I read another thread where people suggested using an ftp manager to get them, but it required some kind of password, and I wasn't able to connect. And I tried out CuteFTP on the Wizard's Mirror, and that was about 1kbps.
Can anyone help?

Oh, and speaking of - If I can eventually get the files downloaded, I'd install TDD + SOS Weidu, then The Big Picture, then all the other compatible mods after that, right?

Until Big Picture 1.70 is available, you can't use WeiDU versions of TDD and SoS (and TS too) with BP. You need the "old" and bigger versions for now.
But maybe you can start downloading the WeiDU versions now and hope BP 1.70 is available when you're done. ;)
More seriously, you may find TDD and SoS, old versions, on File Planet. Even with a queue, download will be much quicker if you have broadband (you'll download at almost maximum possible rate when your wait is over).

Hmm. Well thanks for the information, but I don't have the space for the non-Weidu versions of all of em. I had to trade mah only cow for a 10GB harddrive :crying:
I guess I'll wait until Big Picture 1.70. Anyway, thanks for the quick reply. And I do have broadband, so I'll most definitely be heading over to File Planet when I can trade my magic beans in for a new hd :)

Concerning the download speed - try a download manager - it helps a lot, believe me. My suggestion would be NetAnts (www.netants.com).
