Maplestory downloader help.

Every time I try to download maplestory with that "pando media downloader" thing it always crashes on me.

I always get, "Pando Media has stopped working". And when I would play maple it would stop working as well.

Is there a fix to this?

Thanks in advance.

[b]EDIT[/b]: It has never done this before either, it has started about three months ago.

I've never had much luck with the Pando program either.

Nexon uses it because it makes you download the game from other players, not the Nexon servers so it puts less load on the Nexon servers. It's like a BitTorrent peer-to-peer system, but individualized so it only downloads MapleStory. That means it has to make connections with other players' computers and download from them, so the connection may not be completely reliable.

This also means other players are downloading the game from YOU, which uses some of your upload bandwidth, without telling you that's going to be happening.

I've always found it to be much more reliable to just download the game from the Maple site "the old fashioned way".

Ya, that's what I did, I'm just confused why it does that.

Thanks though.
