Finally managed to download all of the installation files, and after a few hours (!) of messing around I also managed to get it installed... The installation procedures are a bit unclear and chaotic at times and especially the BGT Installer (which was supposed to rebuild the chitin.key) certainly took its time; while the task manager already gave signals that it "didn't respond anymore", somehow after an hour or so chitin.new miraculously appeared either way.

Thankfully I had enough free diskspace, but perhaps they could have added such a tidbit to the readme-file.
I'm glad it all worked out in the end, though. Been waiting for this quite some time already. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I've started a new game with a monk protagonist and I'm currently residing in Beregost; I've encountered no bugs so far, or it has to be the fact that my protagonist character is a lot faster than the other npc's; and not just because he's a monk. It's as if the newly made character is as fast as was common in BG2, while the original npc's are still as slow as they have always been in BG1. Oh, and there's no music in the game either, but I've got sufficient resources of my own to provide worthy substitutes for the lack of game music.
Only other thing I noticed is that the experience gained for memorizing scrolls and opening locks is comparable to that in BG2 - so at the moment, opening a simple lock on a chest gains you twice as much XP as most of the subquests so far. Interesting.
