With a little help I've managed to get all the files and some extra missions. Its been a battle with a 56k modem but its been worth it.

Thanks to all involved in this mod. Its top notch work, very professional. I can't begin to imagine how many hours you all put into this. As a great fan of the show its been a real treat to get inside the Babylon 5 world. Thanks again.

My one question is that after a few false starts I got the game working but I can't figure out what to do with the music download. I tried running it but it tells me its not a valid Win32 application. So what do I do with it?

Well I believe it's an erroneous download what you got there :]

I think one or more of the mirrors has an incomplete copy of the music file. How big is it? It should be (I believe) 38 megs.

I'll keep fighting with this but there are problems with the links. The last two report the file missing while Fileplanet insists its only 6MB.

The other two seem to have given me a complete file 38.2MB in size but it won't run. Since I can play without music I'll leave it a bit before I try again. Hopefully just dodgy servers which will sort out in time.

I suspect a lot of people ( like me ) saw the PC Zone piece and have come to investigate.

Yipee! Got it.

Not saying for sure this was the problem but I'll mention it in case anybody has similar problems in the future.

I use Getright and I segment my files as a matter of habit. Each time I downloaded it I got as mentioned above a system error when I tried to run the music file.

This last time I didn't segment, I just downloaded in one piece, and its perfect. Mayby worth considering if anybody else has problems.

I got the same problem the first time I downloaded the music, it was far to small. It seems fileplanet have posted something wrong, for thats where I first tried to download it. I am downloading now from other sources that works. Again; great work with the missions and models, and good voice-acting too.
