    What exactly do you mean by the term 'download'? . . . and . . . Error message?

      Ive had this issue as well. I always download using the alternative link. You have to download using the failed link in order to get the alternative link option. This has happened to me, not only for 1.0 but other previous releases over the past couple of weeks as well.

          After you click to download the program the first time (which will fail), cancel that download and then click If you have problems, please try this alternative link. That should work.

            Both the main and the alternative links work. I had the same issue a while back with the main link and had to use the alternative.
            The problem >>>> connection issues on my end. Now that those are fixed the main link works fine.
            If you have a slow connection, or some other connection problem that could be what is preventing a complete download from the main link.

              Or you could continue to go to the page that hosts the X releases, and continue to update OR daily that way????? Nothing has changed with the goal of reaching 1.0. Everything as far as updating continues on as it has for over a year.

                You could. The point of the OP was he was trying to download the latest 1.0 and it failed. There are a few ways you can get ahold of OR and one is your way and one is the alternative link, or I guess for most, directly! I like others think its just a connection issue on the users end, as this happens to me as well. Funny thing is the alternative link is hosted on the OpenRails servers as well, so why does that one work? I guess thats why alternative links are provided to begin with.

                    Scene??????????????? Do you mean the OR Window? Just a Guess but probably: Options button > Video tab > Window size selection pulldown.

                    By the way what are the dimensions of "normal"?

                        8x10 sounds like a small laptop. The Options button is at the bottom of the opening screen, but you cannot change the size of the opening menu screen there.

                          Uncheck the Windowed box below the Options button and run full screen.
