New download mirror

Thanks to Lubor Kolar, a new mirror is available to download the ISO image of Theron's quest.

This is a great site for DM lovers!
I still have my original DM for PC.
I'm also a big TG-16/TTI DUO fan and have been looking for Theron's Quest for about 6 years now.
I couldn't believe that you've gotten the CD image on your website.

But when I tried to unrar it though i received an error message.
I've tried unraring other (smaller) rar files from your website and downloaded other forms of UNRAR.exe but I always get the same message.

ie) unrar t syscard3.rar

UNRAR 3.00 freeware ect...

- the file header is corrupt
Testing archive UnRarOCX.rar
- the file header is corrupt
Testing 46%
-CRC failed
Unexpected end of archive
Total errors: 4
0 file(s) copied


Now I've just read about the (Mirror 2) ISO image on this form, but those 23 files appear (without downloading them) to be the same as your (Mirror 1) files (are they?).

The files are the same on both mirrors (that's why they are called mirrors!).

I've not heard of anyone having that sort of problem. Could you try on another PC with WinRAR v3.0 downloaded from www.rarlab.com ?

I had hoped the term mirror, wasn't ;).
I've since tried to UNRAR the unrarocx.rar file from www.rarlabs.com and I get the same error message but at 1%.
I will try UNRARing on my old 5x86 PC, and I'll download a different copy of UNRAR too.

If I continue to have trouble then I will get in touch with the rarlab team.

Thanks for the prompt reply and the great website too.

The source of trouble was my Proxy Filter.

It saw .RAR files as ASCII and saved it in ASCII format instead of binary.
I have since updated my MIME-type filters to include RAR files.
Though I fail to understand why it didn't dump the text (appears as jumbled garbage) to a browser window when I clicked on the links...

Well, I've since redown-loaded all the files and have the game.
Thanks Christophe.
