Can't download patch

[ghost rider]

The point is I should never have to download some program to unzip a patch a manufacturer distributes to its customers.

It should have already been unzipped with an appropriate executable for immediate use by the customer.

The whole point of compressing the file is to make it easier to download. Providing an uncompressed file would defeat that purpose.

Could someone that was able to grab the patch please post it for the rest of us that can't access it?

Would it be that incredibly difficult to offer the patch in today's most widely used compression format (ZIP), so that I/we can simply extract the file with Vista? Surely they (the game developers) have the technology. Furthermore, is it really necessary to compress a bloody 10MB file for crying out loud?

This is the first patch, and only the second file that I've come across in RAR format. Every other file that I've ever downloaded has either been non-compressed or in ZIP format. So, I really don't want to have to bother with a trial version of a software program that I have no intention of purchasing in order to extract a single file.

Yes, downloading raw .exe files from the Internet is a security hazard. Doesn't Vista tell you that?

ZIP is old; RAR is the new way of doing things. Also, if you do not know how to unRAR something, you probably should not be messing with game patches in the first place.

Excellent free rar extractor that's not a trial or anything:

Either way, apparently some of you have the file, but no one else can get it at the moment. If you post the file somewhere, I'll extract it and re-post a zip version for you. I just want the patch.

That link is the same as the sticky. They do not work for us.

Can someone please just upload it to filefront or rapidshare or w/e

There's no file in the FTP directory on the link in this forum; it's an ex-file. It has ceased to be, if it ever was...
