I purchased Unreal Tournament 3 from Direct2Drive. After waiting forever plus one to download it (which, for the mathematically inclined, equates to approximately eleventy-two billion years), I began the install process and waited.

Shortly thereafter I was presented with this thoughtful message: "Error 2349.Copy resumed with different info." As informative as the message was, and as much as I dislike spaces between my incomplete sentences, I was not yet overwhelmed with joy. That part comes later. Incidentally, the installation had gotten as far as ASC_Walls2.upk, and from this I deduced that I would come to love UPK files -- just as soon as I'd worked out what the hell they were supposed to be, that is.

No matter. I then examined the setup directory. I noticed was that the cabinet files numbered Data7.cab and higher were only 52 KB in size and appeared to have nothing in them. It was at this point that I began to to suspect that all was not on the up and up, and that getting the setup process to work was not, in fact, part of the game.

What I request is this: should you happen to own a physical Unreal Tournament 3 disk, might you check to ensure that what I have downloaded twice is complete bunk? Then I would be overwhelmed with joy.
