I'm downloading now. Here's how I fixed it:

Open you hosts file (usually c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) in notepad and add these lines:

66.209.214.49 cardrunners.com
66.209.214.49 www.cardrunners.com

Save file, restart your browser and download the cts vid!

could someone please explain this a little more, pretend you're explaining it to a 5 year old.

thanks.

go to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and in there, you find several files, one of them is called "hosts". open this file with notepad (right click on it and "open with" and then select notepad)

if the file is opened in notepad, you have to add those two lines at THE END of the file.
66.209.214.49 cardrunners.com
66.209.214.49 www.cardrunners.com

(don't do anything else, thats all, insert them exactly like that)

press "ctrl + s" (for saving the file).

close notepad

start firefox/internet explorer again

type "www.cardrunners.com" in the adress line and it should work.

For some reason it won't let me save. I did the exact thing as above and keep getting an error.

"Cannot create the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

Make sure that the path and file name are correct."

Does not work for me. I have the

66.209.214.49 cardrunners.com
66.209.214.49 www.cardrunners.com

saved in the file stated but still will not let me download even after re-booting the PC. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
