Maps wont download during install script

[ColoradoDerek]

So, I was looking through the .pl file for the installer, and I noticed if a file called "eqemu_server_skip_maps_update.txt" is present, it will skip doing the maps. that's what it says anyway.

So, I stopped the other installer (after 3.5 hours it was at like 800mb zip file so seems like something is wrong there too as the one I am downloading from the link you suggested is going the same speeds (4.5-6.0Mbps) but will be done in like 30 minutes.

I am going to manually unzip the maps and then run the installer again (with that file mentioned above present) and see if I get lucky.

Stay tuned....

Update:

unfortunately I can't even get the maps.zip file to download through the link you gave me. 3 times I have tried now, and all 3 times the .zip file is corrupt, and 3 different sizes, none of which were close to the right size. I think they were closer to half size. they were all reported as being "done downloading" though.

obviously something is wrong on my end with downloading .zip files... ??? or something. I honestly have no idea why this would happen and I'm an IT guy LOL.

I guess I'll try resetting my router tonight.

I've never had trouble downloading anything before and I download .zip files all the time. It has something to do with this specific website and the .zip file and my WiFi.

very strange.

If I happen to find out a solution I'll update with that, but I might just not worry about it.

Thanks.
