Hi, im having some problems with the mdos of the missions after you downlaod them. i notice when downlaoding certain ones like accountant part 1, the arena an etc. it crashes the game.  esepciallyy after getting a few them downlaoded an/or get them all selected an then it downlaods one by one. but, then it fails.

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.

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.

Errors during Downloading multiple missions have to be researched.

But it is known to the community that we have some slow filemirrors for the game and its missions.
