Oh God... I downloaded the thing through BitTorrent, but part #54 was corrupt! Son of a bitch!

if you were smart enough to keep it heres what you do. re-open the HL2 beta with bittorrent and it should re-download any currupt secorts that should fix it if not then your screwed.

I don&#39;t think anyone would read this, but if they do, here&#39;s some answers to HL2 and CS:CZ leak questions:

1. No, there is no HL2 Pre-Gold release. According to ANON&#39;s latest nfo, it&#39;s stated that the Pre-Gold is fake. It is also stated in this HL2 FAQ.

2. Yes, CS:CZ is a real leak. It was stated as one in the FAQ as well.

Well that&#39;s probably all anyone needs to know about leak info, so stop making new threads and spamming Gameworld.

I&#39;m guessing you don&#39;t know the full story behind ALL betas. Take Microsoft Windows betas for example. Usually a beta build would leak through a person who works at MS. If he leaks a beta he&#39;s making a very big decision about his life. First, the leaker would risk his job. If he gets caught (and there is a very strong chance of him getting caught), then he gets fired. Second, he would lose his trust with everyone. If he couldn&#39;t keep a Windows build a secret, who&#39;s gonna trust him with anything. With all those things considered, betas from MS shouldn&#39;t be taken for granted.

Now in HL2&#39;s case, the thing was stolen by a dumbass hacker who thinks he&#39;s leet because he could hack his way into Valve. Even though it was stolen, the beta shouldn&#39;t be taken for granted again. It provides an "exclusive" preview to what the game&#39;s gonna look like. Not many people know about leaks at all. My friend who plays HL all the time never knew the thing leaked.
