So why are there 5 files?

It would take a LONG time to download one large file ... and if your internet connection fails after downloading 99% of a 1.8 GB file - well, that would be a really suck !!!

Furthermore, if you have a fast connection, you could do simultaneous downloads. I have a 4+ Mbps connection and was able to grab the movie in about an hour.
You do need the following prerequisites:

  1) 4 GB free on your computer's hard drive.
  2) Make sure you don't exceed your monthly download quota if your ISP meters your usage.
     As I mentioned, this is 1.8 GB 
     (read: Broadband is MUCH more preferable - dialup would take about 70+ hours)!
  3) WinZip (if you don't have it, you can download a 45 day trial version.)


What's next? Create a directory such as "c:\ContikiMovie".
Simply click and save the following 5 files to the "c:\ContikiMovie" directory.
If you have a very fast connection, you could download all the files simultaneously.


        File Size

        168 MB    EuroPana.zip

        400 MB    EuroPana.z01 ** Internet Explorer Users when saving this file
                                                    (applicable only to EuroPana.z01 )
                                                           1) change "Save As type:" from "WinZip File" to "All Files"
                                                           2) set the "File name:" as "EuroPana.z01"

        400 MB    EuroPana.z02

        400 MB    EuroPana.z03

        400 MB    EuroPana.z04

Once all the files have been downloaded, click on the EuroPana.zip file.
A Winzip window should appear with one entry:   Full_Movie.wmv
Click on Full_Movie.wmv and press the "Extract" tab on top.
Save the movie to "C:\ContikiMovie\"

Once it is finished unzipping the movie, there should be a version to play at: c:\ContikiMovie\Full_Movie.wmv

You can also now erase all the EuroPana.*   files that were downloaded.

If you have any questions, drop me an email or post a  
Enjoy ...
