Download Games Like A Pro

August 18, 2008 · Filed Under General, Level Up, Infotech, Online, Gaming 

I’ve been getting a lot of questions and complaints about game downloads not working, being corrupted or failing to install.

So I decided to write a short and sweet article about how to download games properly. First off, before you comment on the other download articles and posts, be sure to check out our single source for all LEVEL UP GAMES DOWNLOADS. Some of the links in the old posts may already be dead or have been updated with a newer patch or version.

Meanwhile, the big scoop on how to download after the jump

HOW TO DOWNLOAD LIKE A PRO (Don’t be a N00b)

  1. Download types - first there are two (2) types of downloads, DIRECT DOWNLOAD and via Torrent. Direct download means that you are getting the file directly from the host server. This could mean either FTP or the standard HTTP. Meanwhile, torrent means that you have to get (in parts) from all the people interconnected in the web who have the same file in their hard drive. You have to get yourself a torrent application for this (see below). The more number of people who “seed” (or share) the file, the faster it will finish downloading
  2. Torrent Applications - there are various torrent applications on the web. Here are my recommendations
    1. Bittorrent
    2. uTorrent
    3. Azureus Vuze
  3. Don’t get cut off - Sometimes for large files, your internet connection may not be so kind and go off any minute. This means that you may have to download the thing again from the start. Sucks, right? Especially if you’re into the damn “90%” range. I suggest you get yourself a download manager such as GetRight. These types of applications allows you to continue where you left off. Neat!
  4. Don’t hog the bandwith or the PC - for large downloads, hogging the bandwith (watching video or downloading simultaneous files) may corrupt it and leave you with a damaged client. I suggest you take it easy. Avoid activities (like gaming while downloading) that may hamper your download. Me? I download large stuff before I sleep. Some apps have the ability to turn off the PC once the files are finished.
  5. It still is %#*#%@*&! - Take it easy there! Here are possible reasons why the file may be corrupted
    1. Your Anti-virus thought is was a virus
    2. Incomplete files - if you did not use a download manager, this often becomes the case
    3. The original file IS corrupted
    4. Other reasons
  6. What to do next? - Having problems? Here are some suggestions
    1. Ask for help. Commenting on this blog is a good start. But MAKE SURE to read on the other comments first. Your question may already be answered by others.
    2. Go to Customer Support. The URL? https://support.levelupgames.ph/login.aspx
    3. Ask other guys for help - via Forums or blogs
  7. If all else fails - you can either download it again (sheesh… sorry) or ask a friend to burn you a working copy. Alternately, you can go to our office for a free CD. You’re also free to borrow, burn or copy our CD installers.

I guess that’s it for now. If you have other tips, feel free to comment below.

I hope the above helped. So, don’t be a n00b and download like a pro now!

Thanks,

GM T
