I'm gonna sign up to play, but where is the mod at. I don't see it in the list on PBW.

I saw that one, but I'm in the same boat as the others who posted earlier. I'm using a dial up modem. 80 mb for a 4 hr download way too long.

You could always get the 3MB data-only version, or let it run overnight...

There is an image-free version available, but playing with it might be very painful... You would get an error viewing any system wiht a custom background, would never be able to view the details of any component or facility (due to missing portraits), would have errors when viewing ships on the map and ship details, and so on.

I could set up a multi-part archive of the mod with parts at 10 MB or so if that would be helpful.

Or a torrent on my tracker, which would also make it easier to download it in parts. No worries about the download stopping halfway through, as it is designed from the ground up to transfer files in small pieces and allows resuming from any point. In fact, I think I will do that. It is now available on http://kazharii.no-ip.com:6969. Check the stickied SE4 Files Tracker thread for info on how to use Bit Torrent.

That is a great idea Fyron. Setting up a torrent should solve the large file problems many have. Thanks!

I also decided to join in on the game. I dont have any PBW games going and I think can squeeze one into my schedule. Not to mention I will have a first hand view on what needs to be fixed or changed. Let the games begin!
