Mike try downloading from another mirror, I found on the swedish site cello.se cd 2 on beta 3 must have been corrupted, the file size was correct on download, but during a burn it always stopped about half way through the write cycle,. A second download from the same site gave the same, downloading from another site cured it...maybe worth a try??
