Like the idea, but i click onthe link to the binary, and it just loads the code for the actual thing. I am using Mozilla, is their something else I should be doing? When right-clicking, there is no DOWNLOAD , or anything similiar, so I am a bit puzzled... Please help. Thanks/.

Right click on the link for the binary and click "Save Link As..." that did the trick for me.

Planeshift is indeed a great project, one I've been following for 3 years now. Development is very, very slow though, but it's reaching a playable state. Please do note that Planeshift is not open source, the planeshift engine is. This means you can't really redistribute Planeshift with the artwork and all.

Does anybody know where I can get "jam":

Same here... and it look like it's going to take some time to complete, it's downloading & compiling for half an hour now.

Still working on the first step

My connection isn't really fast, but I've got all day.... (exams next week, so I have to study anyway

)

Edit: starting the compile just after I've posted this.

It didn't worked out for me. I got an error or something and I think it didn't complete..
