My point EXACTLY!
Most of us DON'T NEED or WANT these little "download helpers". They are sometimes incompatible with features of individual OS configurations. IE and Firefox have their own built in downloader, which is simply "save target as", and the link need only reference the actual "exe" file containing the installer.
I don't believe I EVER had such problems in the old days when all MG installs were just a case of saving the 4 to 6 Mbyte exe to desktop, and installing locally. Now there are a number of downloaders, some show movies, allow you to look at offers, and worse still override your OS preferences as to where to save the installer. Most place it in the windows folder, which is not good as it clogs up the OS and is hard for the novice to get rid of. Worse, if there is a failure, the player has no clue as to where to look to attempt a local "run" of the exe.
The latest downloader, the one that I believe Grand Mondial uses, is the worst of the lot. It shows a simple banner, and it just sits there, and sits there, and gives no feedback whatsoever as to progress, making it look like the process has hung, which in some cases it has.
This downloader will cause problems with VISTA, as it attempts to do several things that VISTA considers "insecure", and it will be blocked. One is downloading directly to the windows folder, rather than the desktop, and the other is attempting to create a separate root folder rather than using the programs folder. I have also noticed the downloader makes more connections to DIFFERENT internet servers than would seem necessary for a simple download. This leaves many points of failure, as if one of these servers fails to respond to the downloader the whole thing hangs.
I once had it hang for over 15 minutes after simply disappearing altogether, and no application was seen running in task manager, nevertheless, a while later the MG casino fired up out of nowhere, and opened the casino straight away.
We should go back to basics, have a straight download (after all, who the hell is going to try MG on dial-up at the current size and even remotely NEED a managed downloader)

Hi All,
Hope you are well.
I just would like to touch base to confirm that there are no further issues in this regards and if there is please do not hesitate to contact me.
In regards to Weatherman, please note that we use a standard downloader and there is nothing fancy about it at all.
The downloader is developed by MicroGaming.
All of the best,

I cant believe I just noticed this thread
I am in the States and have been DL'ng and playing at GM for months now. I have no problems DL'ng. But......Ive never had a cashout either. I guess I keep going back because they are one of the only ones I can find that has 5 and 10 cent break da bank, most others are $5 and I cant afford that
I love that game! If someone know another GM that has breakdabank in cents and not dollars, please let me know
