We need a little more info then that, what operating system are you using (Mac/Windows/Linux) and what version of Descent 3. Are you using any custom table files or anything like that?

Did you try just autodownloading the level, instead of downloading it yourself?

How is your networking (both in the launcher and physical) setup?

Check inside the descent 3 folder (C:\\Games\\Descent3 on most installs) for any files that end in \".gam\" like \"table.gam\" or \"extra.gam\". If there are, move them out of the D3 folder or delete them.

(You could skip checking for the files by uninstalling D3, deleting the folder completely, and then reinstalling D3 if you want.)

Then I would go ahead and uninstall D3, delete the folder then reinstall.

Get permission from your parents and I'm sure someone will be willing to help you out and send a copy.

Erm Aj, its not smart to admit that you're going to pirate something in an open forum (especially one so frequently visited on a daily basis). Not to mention that its greatly frowned upon. You might get lucky and find the dual jewel edition in a bargain bin at your local EBX for a buck or two. Hell, I think Punisher over on DBB dot com might have a few copies left.
