So, I've deleted everything, mac-wise, and I'm starting over. The cohmac.zip is redownloading now, but I had a thought and I figured I'd post it here to see if I'm right. I am someone who knows little-to-nothing about how my mac works, but I can follow directions pretty well, and I know how to FIND something on my computer, be it a "I've come across it before" or a "the internet can tell me where to find it". That being said, are there baseline assumptions being made for what kinds of programs or knowledge I need to have PRIOR to starting "Step 1" on getting CoH to work? Like, I have no idea what "wine" is, for example(aside from the alcoholic beverage, that is).

Alrighty, thanks for the new way to download, but now I seem to be having a new issue. I went through all the Mac steps, including the allowing thing through security, but once it's allowed, and it's doing its verifying thing, it finishes that... and nothing happens. I can even look in my Force Quit menu, and it's THERE. For a bit. Then eventually it disappears and nothing happens. It even shows up on my menu Dock for a bit too.

Mac user here. I seem to be having issues downloading the torrent from the link at all. I don't think there's anything someone can help me with though unless there's a faster download somewhere? I have to essentially set my download to start, then leave it for the day and hope it manages to finish. The predictive "X hours left" of the download fluctuates wildly(generally starting at the 17-hour range, but bouncing between 1 day and 9 hours to start), and if there's even the SMALLEST interruption the download cancels and I have to start over. Yesterday I started the download before I left for work at 8 am, got home at 6 pm and it had only finished 3.3/5.0GB, but it canceled itself about an hour after that. So yeah, I'm pretty much stuck on Step Two. :-\
