Hi

I'm having probs downloading the .exe binary file frrom the downloads page. It seems to be corrupt only taking seconds (and believe me, on a dial up link it should have taken some 30 mins!) and the resultant file is garbage.

Is the problem with you or me ??

Thanks

It sounds like you might be trying to use "right-mouse-click" and then selecting "save target as..." in the popup window.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work.

Despite its name, the link on the Celestia download page links to a special download controller Web page on SourceForge, It does not link directly to the installation program. You're probably just downloading the SourceForge Web page.

Left-mouse-click on the link. It'll bring up the SourceForge Web page which lets you select a default download server. Then it will start downloading the exe.

Does this help?
