    These download sites really **** me off. You have to go through about a billion "download here" pages to find out you need to have registered/paid/changed sex just to download the frikkin thing.

    Really winds mem up

    In fact, there's a far better solution. Grab bittorrent and go here:

    Hmm. Says type mpeg, but its a 186meg .exe file?

    Ahh, this is also for "Traptown", not tunnels that elneckio mentions. I cant see one for that. Perhaps try this tonrrents link page later?

    Valve are using a different codec for the movies called 'blink'. The movies are exe's because they include the playing code. Don't know why mpeg or divx wasn't good enough for them!

    <rant>And yes download sites are getting worse by the day, I can't believe all the money that goes into advertising games in magazines, tv etc. but when it comes to people downloading and showing interest in their products demos, images etc, it becomes such a challenge to actually get to a server with it on.

    Why don't they stop wasting money on adverts and pay to host demos themselves properly. After all if they manage to get a demo in front of me there is much more chance of me buying their product.

    I have been stung with some bad impulse purchases in the past and I am at the no demo=no purchase stage.

    (with the exception of HL2, I'll buy that anyway lol)</rant>
