If you must point a finger, point it at Pirelli, and the SWRT service manager(s). Even then, though, you can't blame them for Peter and Chris' poor driving as of late. Subaru and Prodrive just aren't having a good year. Hopefully they can get it back together and start winning again.
On the other hand if you need something to cling to, Imprezas are pretty much dominating Grp.N...

While Gronholm might have had him this time in Italy, the Focus broke where the Xsara didn't. The same, though more severe due to bad luck, bad driving, whatever, goes for the Impreza... A rally driver is only one part of a complex machine that has to be, forgive the pun, firing on all cylinders, all the time. Loeb and Citroén have that.

OK i guess thats cool with me.. lol
But yeah another reason would be that the Xsara is a very reliable car like you say.. so its not because he is the greatest or consistent.. I would say consistent only to his reliable vehicle.. of course there is a reason as to why he is a WRC driver dont get me wrong..

I just started downloading a file from the server now, it's got about 10 minutes left, I'll edit this post when it's done.
I suggest you try again? I dunno... anyone else having issues?
EDIT: I just downloaded Acropolis Day 3 in about 10 minutes. Plays fine. Maybe your connection was messed up. Try again and let me know what happens via PM... it's anyone's guess when I'll check this thread again.
