*sighs* Hey everyone, I used to come to these forums a lot, but then I had a lot of computer trouble and finally, finally am back up and working again. Now, I have been a fan of the BG series since the beginning, having BG1, BG1: ToSC, BG2, and BG2: TOB... as well as the games Icewind Dale, Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter, Fallout, Fallout 2, and Planescape: Torment.

Now, as you can tell, I like these games, and would have Neverwinter Nights if my computer was decent enough for it - but it's not, so I am stuck playing these still every now and again when I get bored, trying new and different things out with the games. I've played since the very beginning and up and out through the Ascension, beating that and loving the endings and final battles.

Recently, I've reinstalled BG2 (with the patch)... but upon trying to install BG2: ToB, it always fails it's installation because one of the files on my disk is corrupted... none other than data2.cab, which handles a lot of the game. It's about 26 megs last time I checked, and it gets to having 10 seconds left on the installation (or file copy, because I've tried several ways by now as you can imagine), and it starts actually going backwards in the time left, before quitting on me. So, as you can tell, I need this file... every other file on the disk works, and in fact, I was able to copy them all to my hard drive where I could do a hard drive installation, like I've done in the past. The only thing I need is this file, data2.cab, on the Throne of Bhaal CD, and I'll be set and playing it again, able to install the update for Throne of Bhaal that I still have downloaded, and also the Ascension once more. (I'm looking to play through the game with a certain select group, and ran into this problem.)

So, now that you know my predicament, would anyone be able to help me possibly? I need someone to somehow get this file to me, send it, or let me download it from somewhere if they know where to get it. Now, some generous person with a cable, dsl, or higher would be the best for this... for it does happen to be a rather big file. I'm thinking the ways that it could be sent could be through e-mail, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, or MSN Messenger - I have all of those except ICQ, though I have the installation file on my computer, and would install it for this. Now, there's a couple other ways, which could work maybe - and those are P2P transfer such as using KaZaa or Morpheus or something else that works - or there are places where someone can upload files onto servers for however long (I think there was one site that let you upload up to 50 Megs, a portable hard drive thing it was, I think, I could easily find it again), and that would work too, and might be the best way, because I would be able to download from their server any time without having the other person around... and also, I can use a program like Download Accelerator Plus to be able to save the download and continue it later - like GoZilla.

Now... can anyone help me? Please? Pretty please?
