Default Need help with downloading a game from Iso Cellar archives

Hi all,

I have a problem with an off-site download link for a game provided in the Iso Cellar sub-forum. I am trying to find and download a fully working version of "Vikings: Strategy of Ultimate Conquest". It is here in the Iso Cellar forums at the following:

http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=26802

When I click the download link provided in the first post, it takes me to 4shared site. At that point, I am totally stuck. There are two problems that happen.

1. The game file is divided into 9 different files. I am not sure which files go where if I can get them downloaded. Is there a readme or something to indificate which file goes where, or download in a specific order?

2. I cannot download these files at all. When I click the check-box next to the file name, the "Download" buttons disappear above the file list, meaning download isn't possible.

To complicate things further, I have a tough time seeing or reading the 4shared site due to a vision disability. I cannot read grey or tiny text on white backgrounds very well, so the 4shared download site in the Vikings thread above is difficult for me to see and read. Additionally, I cannot use Youtube instruction videos because I am deaf which means voiced instructions are definitely out. Also, I can't follow the actual actions in Youtube videos that well either (small text or displays inside the videos).

I have tried finding sites other than 4shared to download the game. The only one that works, sorta, is Old-Games. However, when I try to download it from there, it goes at like 5 kbp/s, and requires about 15 hours to download the 300 mb file despite my fiber optic internet connection, and when I finish that download, the file is corrupted or "Error! Cannot run" and stuff like that. And when I check the downloaded file in my downloads folder on the computer, the file is only 100 kb instead of 300 mb. 15 hours to download a broken 100 kb file? Seriously? Therefore, Old-Games download is broken.

Anyways, I would love to know if there's a step-by-step text description of what to do to get that Vikings game downloaded from the 4shared site in the Iso Cellar, or if there is another way to download the game.

Thanks in advance.
