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.
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 Default key binds are a blast from the past and far far out of date compared to newer games; took me about 30 minutes just to get the key binds where I wanted them.
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.
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.

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.
