I have downloaded Houdini 8.1 - 666 and 8.1-719 for Windows XP….

Why isn't there a 64bit Windows version of Houdini, i notice that Linux has 64bit flavours……?

But my problems are worse than that…..
On XP32, i get the error message (in fact i need to execute the executable from a dos prompt just to get a “Program is too big to fit into memory” error message.

Does anyone know what is causing this message..
Both builds give me the same problem.?

I noticed when i downloaded the files, that one file supported file resuming
(build 666, and 719 mentioned no file download resume support….
So i suspect that both builds are corrupted, due to not supporting resuming.
(is there a mirror for the apprentice version?)

I believe the problem lies in the fact that no file resuming means, my poor little dialup can't download the 80Mb in 5 hours…. (it misses by 4minutes)
And without the ability to download with fileresuming the files are corrupted.

Any mirrors? or plans for a 64bit version for Windows?

The Sydney VisLab always used to have a mirror don't know if it still does.
There's a link under community partners at the top of this page but it doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

What are you using to do file resuming? I tried GetRight at one point and that seemed to work.
