All the FTPs, especialy the teambg file sharing server, are busy at all times, if you can make IRC work I recommend you use that. (And if you have a 24/7 high bandwidth connection without an upload cap, serving the files once you have them is a good thing to do)

As for how buggy it is, the only game breaking bug I ran into was at the transition from BG1 to TotSC (in BGT, those run sequentialy rather than TotSC happening during BG1) when belt kept using the wrong dialogue and I had to mess around and rewrite some scripts to get past. Havent finished TotSC yet, but I hear the TotSC->SoA transition works, there was a bug a de'arnise that should be fixed by now, and (I think) BG1 NPCs will make the crossing to BG2 but do not have new dialogues, banters, romances, quests, or anything that makes them interesting.

There are a lot of graphical glitches in some areas, most of them are fixed in the patches.
