thats usually if you get a file transfer erro, simply relog and it will continue / start to re-download

the checksum stuff should sort all that out, but if something's absolutely *not* downloading, just remove the partial file from your client.

nearly every download can be found in a subdir of your %islandroot%\clients\data\ folder (%islandroot% being wherever you installed the game)

models are in \models (with self-explanitory sub-dirs), along with the relevant textures for the buildings / vehicles etc.

landscape textures are in \textures\land\ (and texmaps in textures\land\texmaps\ , NOT the texmaps\texmaps\ dir)

radio is just in \data\radio\, you'll have to figure out which island's station you're trying to find by the planet ID. or just guess until you get lucky. then again that's what the find tool in your operating system is for i s'pose :)

still, a lot less bother than reinstalling the game i'd think :)
