I am not sure if this is a problem with my computer or the download links, but whenever I try to download the all-in-one hakpak, it says the size is only 11 mb and then when I try to open with winrar, it gives me the message that the file is corrupt/broken/damaged. Thank you.
-
What most likely happened is the download terminated for one of a number of reasons, including a minor hiccup in the connection between your computer and the server or your internet provider.
Try it again.
-
You may also want to try downloading the smaller haks individually, so that there's less chance of one of those hiccups happening, especially if your connection has issues.
-
A download-manager might help as well. Especially when one is short on time as you can resume a download at any time.
-
Hmm, well I am using a download manager, and I have tried it multiple times, so I will just have to download the smaller files. Thanks again.
-
Well right away if it tells you the all-in-one hack is 11 mb, then there is a problem there. Try downloading it without the manager as the all in one hack is 955 mb.
from the download page.
Size of the file is: 1000458867 bytes or 955MB

Well if it serves for something after my recent need of reinstalation I had a problem as well with the All in one hak pak... and the problem was that it never got dowloaded.. the Download was interrupted a lot of times. and Well I had to download all the minihaks, thank goodness i had a CD with some of the old version archives, That saved me a lot of time. But The all in one file i was unable to download.

This may not help as it's a little bit after the horse has bolted, but I use a spare USB hard drive to keep a complete backup of the entire NWN folder. This way I (hopefully) don't need to go through the download process for those huge files and only get the new ones instead.
I also have noticed that when/if you rebuild your Windows XP PC, simply copying the contents from the USB drive to the computer works perfectly and is faster than re-installing all those CDs again. It doesn't add in any registry hooks, but I haven't had any issues doing it this way.
-
by doing this though, you don't give the chance to your registery to be installed correctly so you do not see the programs that you just copied back in a whole, in the add remove programs.
-
True, but the real upside is that you just delete the entire NWN folder, without going through control panel, and it's gone - no reg hooks or orphan links to worry about. I have not come across any downsides, but I am sure the more knowledgeable out there may know of some.
Anyway, it was more of a solution to avoid having to download large files on a re-install.
