Not getting the E2's

Hello, I am trying to play on your server, but it seems that when I connect, your custom E2's aren't downloaded. In particular, I understand you prefer people using autoparent.

When I connect, it says "Downloading data\Expression2\...", but when I get in, only my personal E2's are in the menu. Also, when I open garrysmod\data\expression2, I don't see anything from Diaspora. If I try to reconnect to the server, the "Downloading data\Expression\..." message shows up again.

I find this to be very strange, since I was able to download the map and other stuff just fine. If anyone could help me find out what the problem is, or just give me the E2 code, I would be very grateful :)

    Do you have a folder labeled "Tools" when you search through your E2 files? If so, the files you are looking for will be in there. If not, something is amiss with the FastDL.

    From some of the error reports lately, I would think that the latter might be true.

    No, there is no such folder anywhere in my garrysmod folder.

    Is there any way to download the files manually? Or could someone who has the E2's downloaded already share them? I could provide a FTP server if needed. Again, I was able to download the maps and such just fine, I only seem to be missing the E2's.

    I got the AutoParenter, that's about it.

    Sorry for the double post, but wouldn't this be better? I've modified it so that it doesn't parent docking clamps, as that will cause them to spazz out in my experience.
