check your artwork folder, is it already in there? If so, delete it and try again.

Here is the file for you. Place it in your artwork folder and tell me if that solved the problem.

You can always manually download any file on AU.

http://autoupdate.alleg.net/autoupdate/gold/<filename>

In this case:

http://autoupdate.alleg.net/autoupdate/gold/sw_005.wav

It's basically an IIS Virtual directory that sits on top of the AU uncompressed versions that the Allegiance Content Manager (A Pookovation) keeps.

must be something bollockd with my mom's system then because even with those links I cant get the razzafrazzin thing to dl.

could the file be zorched somehow? Have a wrong size listed, so it keeps trying to dl even after its complete or some such?
