After you download Accountant 1, can you go to the directory where TDM is installed, and check if file fms/ac1/ac1.pk4 is present and has size of about 250 MB?

Could you also say where you installed TDM? Is it something like C:\TheDarkMod or something like C:\Program Files\TheDarkMod ?

Got almost the same problem too (with 2.08).  But the game doesnt crash.
I downloaded snowed in and arena, the download of snowed in fails (there is no data) and arena succeeds (with data).

And with no write permissions to the fm folder, the downloader tries to download the mission 2 times and gives you the failed-message.

The latest Windows versions protect that directory. Please move the darkmod folder to somewhere like C:\darkmod and set folder permissions on the folder

and all sub-folders.

Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod:

(Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

because i follow windows standards, my advice to set the write permissions your tdm folder. (or do this automatically by using freyks installer) 

or move the tdm folder to somewhere outside the program files folder. (for example to the "documents" folder) 

for instructions, see our wiki:

https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Installer_and_Manual_Installation#Windows

but i really think that the topicstarter experienced a bad mission download from an mission mirror. have to test this a bit more.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
