Well, it's been coming to that time of year that some call 'Diablo Season' where some people get the strange craving to play l3ik t3hj k00lezt game eva made. Anyways..well I installed the regular d2 and it went just fine, of course after happening to look in the find it magically. Along with it i found the LOD eshhpansion disc. I put it in, clicked install and it tells me to put the regular d2 play disc in. Now it has worked fine before, but it starts to install and it stops at a cerrtain point, and the drive ceases to make any noise, and it prompts to insert the play disc again. The reason, I suppose, is that the disc..well...is..mutilated. To say the least. It's scuffed, scratched, slashed and damaged in various places. What's the best thing to do for a scratched disc?
Any and all help appreciated,

Download the game, then just use your CD key.

Im in no mood to explain torrents/warez to you. Google.com can help, or someone else will tell you what to do.

He's talking about an illegal download, which shouldn't be discussed on this site anyways.

Its not really illegal since he already owns the game.

Thats as sympathetic as Ill get. I told you that you could download it, and I gave you a vague idea of how.

i use a home-recipe on dvds that get stuck...wash them with some hand-soap and warm water, then let them air-dry. usually helps. theres pro cleaning shit for that too.

but you could just download the ISO and mount it. because you have a legit key and own it, its all legal. in theory. thats the basis that torrents are still alive on.

Bitcomet > uTorrent in user friendlyness. BitComet needs zero tweaking around with port forwarding etc to work. It's like the iMac of torrent clients.

I tried uTorrent once, but it required me to forward ports on my router... Wich has a corrupt custom firmware from my ISP. The settings can't be altered unless you pay them 120€ to unlock it. Other routers won't work -.-

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
