I have downloaded Gothic II from this site twice now, and both times there have been incomplete grabs. This being the first time i have used newsgroups, im not sure why they havent downloaded the files. I downloaded twice because first time i thought it was an error, and would correct itself if i downloaded again.

Hmm, so a question. If i go get it on torrent, using BitComet and select the incomplete .rXX files, and replace the NZB ones with the torrent ones, will that work?
