> That won't work. You need to start it in a separate console while you running the game. Wine kills all background programs when last GUI/CLI program exits. right. Here's the process I used: 1. start Steam client 2. run 'wine net start bits', which says the service is started successfully 3. launch Civ 5 from Steam 4. Unable to download mods because 'Microsoft BITS has not been started' I tried again, using the following steps: 1. start Steam client 2. launch Civ 5 3. run 'wine net start bits' (successfully) 4. Unable to download mods because 'Microsoft BITS has not been started' It seems like the game is not noticing that BITS is running, or BITS is not actually starting.[/quote]
