Okay, my STO DL gets to about 3% and stops..

So, I tried to get the DL thru Impulse, I registered the pre-order key, I see the STO for download. I start it and it comes back with "error".. Looking at the Impulse error log.. I see it says "(404) file not found".. GRAND..

I can register but the file is not available for download..

I left the STO DL running all night, figured it would be done when I woke.. NOPE.. was still at 3%...

Guess at this rate I'll miss the beta...

Suggestions.. I have tried to use steam but cannot seem to be able to "add" the pre-order key to that to be able to use it to DL the file.. anyone know how to use Steam?

Should I use something else??

Only way you can "use" steam is if you actually buy the game from there. You can't use a key to activate a download from them that way.

My suggestion is to get ahold of a good bit torrent client , like utorrent.

Goto the downloads page on the website here and click the torrent link. Give it time to pickup speed, it should be your best download speed/option at this pt.
