Shipset/Race Errors

[Fyron]

You can get the shipset archive from my SE4 files tracker, which has over 240 shipset, all patched to be gold-compatible. It has most of the shipsets out there.

Isnt that if you download BitTorrent to get it
and download a RAR unpacker to install it?

Presuming you don't already have those...
They're almost basic net tools these days.

You can go and get them the slow HTTP/ZIP way, but why would you unless you're forced to?
BT and RAR are the fast lanes on the information superhighway

Makes sense to me. If I already had those then it would be a very fast and efficient way to get them for everyone involved. Of course if I need to go get them first then Im not sure there is an advantage other than to say "well you might as well since you will need them for other things" but I havent really seen the option come up often enough to feel unfanatical in making that recommendation to someone that doesnt have them yet. It is moving up but at present I would say at BEST the two methods might be considered equal in number so offering both ways still seems to make sense rather than push it.

Downloading winRAR plus the RAR version of any imagemodpack (except the combat pack of course) is less than downloading the ZIP version.
All 3 P&N starfury campaigns RARed are 10% smaller than just one campaign ZIPped.

The numbers are there. Anyone with a slow connection will save gobs of time. With a fast connection, its not so important, but RAR even does zip files better than winZIP and with less bloat to boot.

Next time you go to install winZip, just get winRAR instead. You'll never miss it.
