I can't join any servers.

Recently, I downloaded the 0.4 Client and tried to play a server. But when I try to connect to a server, after some time this happens:

Any help?

Try using this modified browser and tell me what it says, I'm going to need more info:
http://v04.maxorator.com/files/VCMPBrowser.zip

Make sure that you have not installed VC:MP to the same directory as GTA:VC, and that your installation of XP is on at least Service Pack 3.

The same thing happens, the download fails.
Also, I have not installed it to the VC folder and I'm running Service Pack 3.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to set this aside to look at later since I need to sleep. Moving this to acknowledged bugs since this keeps cropping up and needs to be resolved.

Umm... Any help?

You could try going into C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Vice City Multiplayer (assuming you kept the default install dir -- if not, try that) and deleting all the 04rel* folders and any folder beginning with an underscore. However I don't think that'll fix this issue, and I'm still working on fixing it in the browser.

Yes, that didn't do it.
The only thing different I notice is, the download fails instantly. Is this because of my bad net?

The update server has technical diffeculties, so it's not your net

What to do?

Yesterday someone sent me a link which is an .exe file that installs 04rel000 and 04rel001 and 04rel002 (I assume these are updates?) and it worked for me, but I won't be stupid and put the link here. Can any staff member reply to this so I can PM them the file so that he could check it (why it solves the problem and if it's infected or not).

fixed now.

I decided to give it a try again today and it seemed to work fine- it went up to 75% and then the usual 'failed to download' message came.

*bump*
~~Any reply? I just visited the forums and I still can't get it working...~~
EDIT: It seems to work again, thanks to all who helped!
