Every time I try to download the FFB Client it gets to about 10% and stops. Still says it's downloading but I get nothing?
My internet isn't that slow and I'm all Javaed up... any ideas? |

First time does take quite a while. How long have you left it 'frozen' for?
P.S. good job joining on my birthday. I accept cash presents! |

That doesn't make much sense - when the client is updated I get the new version in a minute. It's just not that big, even if you're on a slow connection. What operating system/browser are we talking about? |

Oh no, I wouldn't suggest overnight at all, just that it may seem to pause a bit first time. |

Running Win7, with AVG Firewall. I have Java 6. I get the litle file download but then the FFB Client never gets all the way through. |

maybe the Chinese government is censoring you playing bloodbowl
or they are intercepting the program to dissect it and see how this bloodbowl technology works |

Try to use another browser.
On my laptop if using Google Chrome or IE it simple wont download or run it
Only Firefox does the trick
Well worth a try at least |

One user found that using hydraIRC caused it to crash for him, but he wasn't sure why that should be. I would start by updating your video and sound drivers to make sure nothing there is causing a crash. |

this might have something to do with the (crap) chinese internet
when i lived there my connection was so damn slow and unstable... hope it got better the last 4 years
but you know, censoring so much data takes a lot of bandwith
NOTE: the FFB client crashes if it loses connection to the server |
