While looking up MTM2 beta on google I found this:

http://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/control/m ... m2.beta.gz

Anyone know what it is or how to run it?

It's just a text document.

Yeah I downloaded it as soon as I found it, it contains a file called "axle2.bin", too bad the game can't run it.

Slayer · Post by **Slayer** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 3:05 pm

says service unavailable.

Kmaster · Post by **Kmaster** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 3:06 pm

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Additionally, a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Rehost on my server then or on mtm2.com

I get the same message

If I can get the file, I'll add it to the page for the correct date.

The links page is pretty good. And I love the background image (hated it on dialup, lol).
