The source code you had to clone from github after having an account with epic and accepting EULA etc. before too. the zip files were for dependencies which you had to download and extract in the folder you cloned the source code in. now there’s a batch file that downloads them for you instead of you downloading those zip files directly.
Either way i didn’t mean the torrent just for the source code but for the engine itself as well. why isn’t there an option to download Unreal Engine 4 with torrent instead of the launcher?
The launcher downloads extremely slowly because it doesn’t use simultaneous connections for the download. with a download manager i use 20 connections per file and that’s what gives me my max speed of around 200KB/s. if i don’t use as many connections i get between 4-30KB/s and it will take forever.
I can get UDK with ease and i’m using it now. i just don’t understand why the same is not possible with UE4…
