I got the cd, but I have a similar problem:

I had to do a fresh install of the sd_central to get to the point I could dl the patch. I attempted to get the update over night. I only got to 78% and it terminated because of a hang-up on the stardock end. Even for my dial up connection it was very slow. Progress bar said 1kb/sec vs the 3kb/sec I normally get. Since the download looked like it was file by file, I hope that when I start sd_central it will resume from the point I lost the connection and not start over from 0%.

Do you mean you're trying to download SDC from the link in the purchase email? It seems to be working fine at the moment (link).

If it's slower than normal you may try using the other server (you can switch in SDC's internet settings). SDC should resume downloads so long as you don't close it between attempts.

Alternately if you know someone or have somewhere you could install SDC at and download via broadband, and have a USB drive or other means to transport the entire game, you could download there and use SDC's archive option if you're having trouble at home.

It took a few times to get SDC. I don't know if it was installed as a part of GC2 or the expansion. It would not list any of the GC games, so I could not update anything. It tried to update itself (download x of 233 files) at one point. Now that SDC is working, I am trying to update GC2 and the expansion. As I said, I have dail-up, so I don't think I'll have any luck getting the pre-release beta of "Twilight..."
