Every time I try to download the installers for both D2 and D2:LOD I get errors connecting to trackers, even though P2P is disabled. I have tried everything under the sun that I was able to find by googling this error, scouring through dozens of forum posts for hours to no avail. I have created exceptions for my firewall, completely disabled my firewall, attempting the download in safe mode with networking, attempting the download for the EU region, etc. I cannot for the life of me get the downloader to work. I resorted to using a torrent which subsequently lead to a DMCA notice for a game I legally own a license to… So now that’s all obviously deleted from my PC so the google overlords don’t shut down my internet.
What on earth can I do to get this downloader to actually connect? I love D2R, but I want my classic D2 on the side.
