Site's down. I recommend downloading the .mtx files using a (
http://www.mediafire.com/?tzzt1mjkdoj) torrent, because that's what the MTX client uses anyway, and the client is the most horrendously coded application I have ever seen in my life. I know it's free, but the agony of using this piece of shit really is something else.
It takes
aeons to start up, and then you're greeted with a baby's first .NET UI that's as fast and responsive as a legless dog crawling through molasses. And once you make it through that, the damn thing chokes while trying to download the game files and crashes, so you restart it only to find, ten minutes later when it deigns to respond to your mouse clicks, that it can't resume the download and has to start over again.
I'm trying to install the downloaded .mtx file now, and of course it copies the file over but doesn't display the game in the 'available games' tab because it can't access the Mektek server.
It's
brilliant.

Apparently, according to the thread a rockpapershotgun, the .mtx is just a zip file and you can just unzip and run. I'm still downloading so I've not tried this yet.

Yup, that works. No messily coded client intervention required. Thanks a ton for that suggestion, man. :thumb:

Thanks Sulphur and dvrabel. Seeing the custom download client mentioned on the official site made me cringe.

Also, apparently Steam servers are melting under the stress now. :) I registeed the game to my account, but couldn't install it so far, because "Steam servers are too busy to handle my request" right now...
