hi
i am installing freespace 2 open source project using the installer, and for a couple of hours that thing was downloading stuff, and now since about 2 or 3 more hours it is just "working"

any idea how long it usually needs to install all the stuff? seems like very long to me ...

well if you install everything that is about 10-11 Gigs ... however that does seem to be taking too long. You can try posting in the hard-light forums for technical support.

i used the manual installation now, was easier than i thought ^^
I had the same problem, I installed everything minus the other executables, and it took 6 hours. Totally worth it, though, this has got to be the best flight sim I've ever played
I just started installing this.. 6 hours does sound like an awful lot, was hoping to get some freespacing done today, oh well.. guess I'll resort to doing something else while I wait
Took me a few hours yesterday. If you do install everything, it is a lot of data.
Just started installing this last night. I did the full install and it's been running almost 12 hours now and has only downloaded about 5-6GB of stuff so far. Seems like the downloads are just really slow from some of the hosts. Maybe they're getting hammered from this GOG sale.
Mine had been running for 2 hours now, guess I got a bit of time to go :-)
Damn. 15 hours and the download just hung on one of the blue planet components. Restarted and it got quickly back up to bp-audio1 being out of date and started downloading from there again. My install folder is currently 9.4GB, about 600MB smaller than it was before the download hung.

This is crazy slow.
I hope my old laptop can run it. I thought an 11 year old game would be fine, but this enhancement looks massive.
