  1. In general many museums offer high quality content for free download, it is worth looking for the official pages of the museums on the net.

  2. The main issue I've had with downloading TDM is that it uses a selection of mirrors that can vary wildly in download speeds for various reasons. That said, when you first run the installer it will download a tdm_installer.ini config file that contains information about (among other things) the list of mirrors to use. When the installer actually gets going it seems to randomly flick between mirrors for each new file to be downloaded. If you find that a particular mirror is being dog slow, close the installer, edit this .ini file and near the top there will be the mirror list. Remove or comment out the ones you see as being slow, then run the installer again, click the "Advanced settings" checkbox and click the "Skip config file download" checkbox. This will force the installer to use your existing, modified config rather than a new downloaded copy, hence it will use your modified selection of mirrors which will hopefully only have the fast ones.

  5. Ok but the description for the standalone version (The Dark Mod 2.09 FULL on moddb) states: The entire Darkmod 2.09 download in one archive. No need to run tdm_installer. Some people are downloading this version (because of mirror issues) which does not include the installer and the description says you don't need it.

  6. Actually not. tdm_update was always bundled with TDM, because it was versioned and released synchronously. You could not use new tdm_update to get an old version... installing old version was not supported at all. Now tdm_installer versioning is totally separate from TDM releases. That's because every TDM release is treated as a bunch of zips with a few hardcoded archives auto-unpacked (and some whistles like desktop icon). As the result of such simplification, old versions of TDM are supported, and you should always used the most recent version of tdm_installer. For this reason, tdm_installer is no longer bundled with TDM release, so you need to download it from the website. Another reason to download tdm_installer from TDM website is security. If you have downloaded it from a different server, you cannot be sure that it will install a correct build of TDM and won't silently turn your machine into monero miner (or destroy your data as cryptolocker). Luckily, this danger is still only theoretical for TDM, but better be safe. On the other hand, it does not matter where you initially got 3-4 GB of TDM zips: after you run the correct tdm_installer on your TDM installation and let it successfully finish, you can be sure that it does not contain anything malicious (well, I won't be surprised if there are holes for a malicious TDM to survive tdm_installer run, but that would be way too targeted attack).

  7. Yes, you have the original 2.09 release, that's why mission downloader does not work. You need to run tdm_installer and let it do its default thing: it will install 2.09b. tdm_update is no longer a valid way to install TDM. In fact, it should give you a warning about it immediately when you start it... did you see the warning? You need to download tdm_installer from our website, put it into installation directory, and use it now and ever after. Most likely, nope.
