Cannot get it to download. Even with hi-speed, it always says it take 1 to 2 hours to download. ???? dalivad

A science-fiction lover, played this game much before the Master Of Orion... and I was so impressed with the well-thought-out tech tree, and their sattisfying descriptions.. I thought if ORION was sooo good, MOO must have been much more.. After playing MOO-Revenge of Antares, for some days.. All I can say is.. that game is good too but the tech line there is for kids, unlike FreeOrion. If you are more for the look and feel, and like management type games, MOO is for you. But if you crave good sci-fi descriptions of the universe, try FreeOrion. Ofcourse MOO does have espionage and more features like that.. but after playing this game, I was like deeply hurt about their stupid techline XD Btw.. I loved the feeling the sound track gave me. Never once did I have to mute the game. Just hoping, they would add a few more sound tracks that had more of excitement than wonder. If you guys need written content like some campaign story, or artwork and bigger captivating stories behind the species.. tell me.

Don't be fooled by the version number, FreeOrion is FABULOUS already! This is the successor to Master of Orion II that we all wanted. Game plays great: control without micromanagement, strategy galore, TONS of variety, a deep technology tree, and even a little bit of a sense of humor. Its clear that a lot of care and planning went into making the user interface intuitive and usable, and in keeping the flow of the game moving. Turns go quickly, even when your empire gets huge. You'll get a serious case of NextTurn-itis... :-) Came back to version 0.4.7.1 after initially checking it out 0.4.4 about a year ago. The team has made awesome progress. Congratulations to the developers - I can't wait for the next version! Thank you!
