Please don't start a new thread unless you have a new issue... People
(like me) who are following the previous thread will get lost/stop
caring. Also, please attempt to address the other points i brought up in
my last email. I've reprinted it below for your convenience:
        
        can you please give a specific example of a game you are trying
        to
        download, to make sure it's not a server issue?
        
        Also, is it only games that aren't installing, or is it any
        program? 
        
        try running one of the games from the command-line, and if it
        returns an error, come back with that error message...it will
        help determine what's wrong. (to run one from the command line,
        right-click the menu-bar, go to Edit Menus, navigate to one of
        the failing programs, right-click it's launcher and hit
        "properties", then copy-paste the command listed under the
        'command' section into a terminal).
        
        Also, Please try installing one of the games that is failing
        through
        Synaptic Package Manager) or from the command line via "sudo
        apt-get
        install <packagename>". if/when it returns an error, please
        copy-paste the exact error message in your next email.
