Hello,

can't reproduce the reported hangs.

(clean WINEPREFIX, 'winetricks dotnet20' prerequisite).

$ wine --version
wine-1.3.0-396-g8333559

I used the bootstrap-downloader "MTGOIII_Helper.exe" to download the full game
installer.

Interestingly they employ some kind of bittorrent protocol scheme, deferring
bandwidth burden to users ;-)

I got around 500 KiB/s download (100-150 KiB/s per connected client) and it
took around 100 KiB/s upload bandwidth (which is only a fraction my pipe can
deliver).
They probably limited the upload to not take too much from users.

Indeed they state the client behaviour:

When you use the Wizards Downloader to download Wizards Games, you temporarily
participate in a secure, closed network where you receive pieces of the game
files from multiple sources, including other active users.

Near the end, the client died:

--- snip ---
err:winediag:FILE_CreateFile Too many open files, ulimit -n probably needs to
be increased
--- snip ---

Might be a handle leak or the download client uses up that much handles "by
design".
Good thing Wine emits this diagnostics now ;-)
Client restart, it automatically rechecked downloaded parts and downloaded rest
successfully.

At the end, the bootstrapper client will automatically start the full installer
which requires .NET (installs assemblies) so you need to have a clean
WINEPREFIX with 'winetricks dotnet20' prepared _before_ running the bootstrap
downloader.

Anyway, running these "renamer.exe" and "kicker.exe" tools (.NET assemblies,
obfuscated) doesn't show the hangs nor reported "err:seh:setup_exception_record
nested exception on signal stack" messages.

Can you retest with newer Wine version? If still present please post your Linux
distro specs (could also be a kernel bug).

Regards
