Sorry for the spam I get the following errors when trying to load ARMA with the SHQ modset: "Data file too short 'C (yadayadayad)\addons\cup_creatures_people_military_takiinsurgents.pbo'. Expected 174447742 B, got 71086042 B" Following that I get an "unknown software exception (0x000dead)..."

Thanks Meat!
I'm going to need to do that double check on my install, too.

yes, however the major headache with steam (and at the same time, its blessing) is that mod authors can update when they want. Theres been a few times where mod authors have updated their mods an hour or so before our play sessions and people havnt been able to play at all because they have no idea till they boot steam up 10 or mins before play and get faced with a 1-2hr download! (specially with CUP, as they always tend to update just before we play). It also avoids the risk of mods being updated and breaking our missions with a unannounced change (like CUP splitting off the CWR maps).
Then theres the fact that dedi servers dont support the workshop, so i first have to download it all my end, then upload it myself to the server, which with upload speeds around my part of the world being 4mbs at BEST .. that takes a while!
so all in all ... a "static" modset is the best for the time being, and were not the only group that does it this way.

I had to re-run my Swifty, it also missed a few files on the first shot.
There were like 5 files left, and it got them downloaded on the second run.

Yea, the overall size is pretty big. It took me like 9 or 10 days to get it all. But happily it doesn't change often, and should also support differential updating, going forward.
