Try a download manager like GetRight. You can pause your download and continue at any time, whenever your want. I used this stuff a lot when I still had dial-up connection.
Though I don't know if the SourceForge servers support these download accelerators...

Thanks Harry ,I'll try that sounds like its just what I need.

Just so every one doesnt missunderstand I am not a mac hater I just cant afford one that can do everthing my AMD 7600 can do But i do use Ubuntu and i love it in fact if it wasnt for my Zune id switch all the way, By the way does Neuiz work on Linux ? cause that would be cool, thats how i found out about Sauerbraten. Then i wouldnt have to worry about viruses or any of that stuff.

In the directory, you're downloading right now, there are Linux, MacOS and Windows binaries. All in the same folder.

Nexuiz works on Linux - There are native Linux builds for i686 and x86_64 platofrms in the zip file.

Oh, and you can install nexuiz from add/remove software.

Awesome guys thanx i was about to ask if the add or remove had it. Sauerbraten was there and now that i think about it i think i remember seeing Nueiz there. Id much rather use Ubuntu to download it. you guys are awesome, Im still new to linux so im learning and its nice to know that there are people with advice if i run into trouble.

See, we're here to help, and won't harm anybody with trojans, viruses, or whatever
Also, let this be a lesson for you: you have to learn to manage your temper a bit more, and try to think before you do anything on the internet, wether it's a link to click on, or any word you say. What you've done to the wikipedia page was wandalism, and a not nice way to grab attention. At least you've contacted us here on the forum too, so we could help you so you could solve your problem.
If I'm correct, I've seen several times you've said "freeware" sites. I'd NEVER EVER visit a site like that, for two reasons: they might have an outdated version of that program (like in this case - or if I see right, Ubuntu repo hardy heron has 2.4.1, not 2.4.2), and it's not an authentic, original source, you I can never be sure what extra present they have packed with the stuff
Also, Nexuiz is not freeware, it's _open source_ . Not the same In any case, you see an open source program, and you run in trouble, be sure to contact the developers first, before doing anything else. They always have the right answere for you, and most probably they'll try to help you.

For the rest of the commenters:
Like I've said, I've so much disappinted by the behaviour of some of you. Nexuiz is not just famous for it's fancy graphics, and all of that, but for the MOST WELL MANNERED, HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY COMMUNITY AROUND!

Now get this into your heads, you nasty brutes.

Actually, I remember something. Nexuiz 2.3 was indeed flagged as a possible trojan by some antivirus. The cause however was laughable: it was TGA files with a very high compression ratio in the .pk3. The antivirus thought Nexuiz was an attack on virus scanners like 42.zip (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_bomb), but all it really was was a mostly black TGA file and 7zip compressing it well.

But this has been fixed, by RLE compressing the TGAs that (in that case in the past) ClamAV reported, so RLE does part of the compression and zip doesn't do such a high compression ratio. In any case, a clear example of stupid heuristics.

As you can plainly see fronten its not an opinion but a fact and call me a piece of crap all you want but human never!

"Nexuiz has a trojan" is not a FACT then. "AVG misdetects Nexuiz as a trojan" may be one, although this is not verified for AVG, but ClamAV, and already fixed.

The problem is that detecting "zip bombs" is very dodgy. But zip bombs are, even if there is one, ONLY harming virus scanners, NEVER destroying any data, crashing computers, etc.

Request, which sounded like threatening, met response.
