Downloading them now.

EA is offering Westwood Studios' seminal RTS Command & Conquer Gold as a free download starting today on the Command & Conquer website. The full game download, commemorating the August 31 release of the game 12 years ago, comprises two ISO image files and is also hosted on FileShack for your downloading pleasure.

We've got both ISOs up for download at FileShack. Get the the United Nations' Global Defense Initiative (GDI) disc here and the Brotherhood of Nod disc here. This version of Command & Conquer Gold is Windows XP compatible and identical to the version included in the compilation Command & Conquer: The First Decade. EA has also provided installation instructions for the game.

The announcement on EA's Command & Conquer Web site promises further goodies every week during the month of September.

I can't get C&C to work. Throws some sort of "internal read error" on setup.ins and bounces me out of setup.

Any ideas?

Hmm... could be a barfed download. Trying the download again - and now it projects a mere 7 hours instead of 26 the last tme. On 3MB DSL.

Think they're slammed?

Uh, yeah. 585 MB from fileshack, 384 MB from the actual manufacturer's website. :rolleyes:

Get it from the reliable source.

No, fileshack is fine. It's commandandconquer that's screwed. A quick web search shows I'm not the only one to hit this snag. If you want these ISO's and haven'r d/l'd 'em yet, save yourself some trouble and go to fileshack.
