    I'm not surprised at all. When over nine thousand players try to download a file at the same time, this is what pretty much always happens. :<

    nah, it seems to be counting the existing files for version 0.3.0.5 as 100% complete and then downloads atop that (if you look his updater is downloading too), it then seems to seed the old files.

    The green bar is at 100% but it keeps downloading, it's now at 40 MB.

    Yea, that's why I ran the updater in a clean directory. I don't trust it to update my current version of the game. It's just downloading everything again.

    IMPORTANT
    Copy BeamNG files to alpha_prerace folder, erase "update" file and you'll get 61% instantly!

    No one expected this to be a quick download :p We've all been counting down together, probably all hit download together too. I'm at 66%, started at 61%. This is an all nighter I think!

    Wouldn't that just trick the updater to thinking it's the new files, when it's really the old ones?
