Hi.

Go to the game's website http://www.doom3.com/ -> Updates and look
through the sites provided there. If they don't give direct links
(usually they have some form of queue and authorization) you can try
putting the file name in a search engine. Strange it's not readily
available at id Software's site, though... Maybe look somewhere in
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/doom3/ - but the server seems to be
down now.

Regards,

Have a look at the official "DOOM III GNU/Linux FAQ"
<http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/doom/> It contains the link
you're looking for as well as a bittorrent tracker link. Of course,
you'll want to read the other information there too...

I had a heck of a time finding a working link a while back for quake2,
and in the end had to go with the loki installer from
http://www.liflg.org/. I really don't know what makes it a different
way than others, or if it does at all, but the link was there, it
worked, and admittedly the install was easy. I think they have doom3
there so it may be worth looking into as well.
