    1. The MTX application sucks bad. The UI is hideous, it's slow as balls and it's buggy.

    2. ARGH TORRENT SLOW.

    Is there an alternative to torrenting? My university doesn't allow such connections on the network.

    There is an experimental HTTP option in the program, but I haven't tried it, nor do I know if it'll even work for this. Give it a shot, though.

    Alright the first time I tried it it didn't seem to work, but I disabled UPNP and tried again and it's now downloading at about 75 KB/sec

    I moved the torrent and the pre-allocated download out of MTX's native torrent folders and dropped them in my uTorrent folders, and the performance is much faster overall. Would recommend.

    ..\MTX\temp\games for the cached MW4 file.
    ..\MTX\temp\games\torrents for the .torrent file.

    The HTTP option seemed to completely screw me over and make it never download anything ever again. Was this all an excuse to force crapware on us?

    I tried the thing Thrax did with uTorrent, confirming it worked for me.

    Got it running last night, played for a brief bit to make sure it worked. Looks great, runs smooth. Default key binds are a blast from the past and far far out of date compared to newer games; took me about 30 minutes just to get the key binds where I wanted them.

    I downloaded last night and today I couldn't even get the MTX thing to load right. Any work arounds?

    MTX may be horribad, but its worth putting up with.

    You don't need MTX. Just download the torrent with your favorite torrent software. Replace the mtx extension with zip. Unzip it in some directory and double click on the executable.

    The newest version of MTX removes the skin and makes major performance improvements.

    MekTek is also preparing a download of MW4 that does not use BitTorrent.

    Finally, a huge bug that caused the program to stall when their servers went down was fixed.

    I sincerely doubt a glorified BitTorrent client wiped out your PC.

    After they updated MTX, I had no problems with the program at all.

    Of all the MW games to re-release, they picked the worst. Mechwarrior 3 is the one. This poor old game just breaks in Windows 7. I can't even get it to install. It needs to be fixed. Any MW3 hacker fans out there? Please make a loader install program for MW3 like Tafferpatcher for Thief 2.

    I keep a decade-old PC for use with MW3.
