It's impossible to download Prelude to Darkness

[Elwro]

It's funny, but I searched for the last half an hour and was unable to find any sort of "contact us" email link on www.zero-sum.com.
I just wanted to say that the link to the trial version of the game is dead; I get error 404 all the time.
Is there any other place in which I can get the game ( a mirror or sth)?

You're right, it's not clear how to contact us. We'll put that on our home page. Mat deals with that stuff. Email him at mat@zero-sum.com and he will respond very promptly.

Thanks for your patience.

I tested the link and it works fine here, so you may want to try again.

Other places to get it:

3Dgamers has a mirror of it
http://www.3dgamers.com/games/preludetodarkness/

go to movedigital.com and search for it directly
www.movedigital.com

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, not all the links work for me. The link at zero-sum takes me to the following location:

http://download1.movedigital.com:8080/b ... sid=306443

and I still get HTTP 404 error there.

When I searched movedigital directly, I was taken to

http://download1.movedigital.com:8080/b ... nstall.exe

which seems to be actually a similar place. I also got the HTTP 404 error.

I never had any troubles with downloading anything from the NET, so perhaps this isn't fault of my provider's firewall.

Or is it? Can you tell?
Anyway, I found the game on 3d-gamers in-span or something, so after approx. 70 hours I should have it, thanks again.

I can't tell precisely, http 404 is a rather generic error and not my area of expertise regardless, but I did check the homepage and movedigital links from several different locations and it worked fine.
Tucows has the install as well.
Sorry you couldn't get sooner.
cheers,

Took the time to find that message so I knew what was being discussed. Since I got high speed cable, I've noticed a lot of those (and also web page not found) messages. It seems my cable system gives up too quick and many times I have to try several times to get something I know is there. Don't know if that helps, but thought I'd offer it.

PS: If there's any default I can change to avoid that, I don't know about it.
