The "Secret World of Goo Download Location" I received in my email after purchasing the game does not work. I keep getting Connected Timed Out errors from the www.worldofgoo.com server. Is it just overloaded, or is it a problem at my end?

Same here. It just keeps timing out.

We moved to a faster server last night, and I'm guessing the DNS hasn't yet propagated everywhere. But no worries! There's an easy temporary fix. In your download link, replace "www.worldofgoo.com" with "174.133.168.211". So:

http://www.worldofgoo.com/dl2.php?lk=blahblahblah

would become

http://174.133.168.211/dl2.php?lk=blahblahblah

Fantastic, that sorted it out. Thanks.
