OpenTTD website
OpenTTD is a open source project based on the game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", adding features to the original game while being portable and absolutely free! (You need the original game if you want the original graphics/music/sound, but OpenTTD otherwise have a free version. Just install and play!)

Anyway, people been asking me about the game ever since Yogcast covered it.
Yogcast part 1 - Yogcast part 2

So I'm wondering if anyone is interested in running a multiplayer game with me? I'm thinking of making it cooperative, basically one big company rather than multiples. Maybe Vanilla vehicles, maybe not. I try to not make it too hard.

I gladly show people the ropes over multi-player but the official wiki is strongly recommended as a manual. I been playing Transport tycoon for awhile, infact I started with a demo version in 1994-1995, so I guess I'm a 16 year old TT veteran.

Game is now ongoing at 81.225.80.29, server password is asdf. Join and ask for company password. The thread title will be server status.

Alright keep in mind that the game I have ongoing is with rather complicated mods so it's harder than the basegame. Otherwise there is basic lines set up so running out of money is not a immediate concern. Plus I usually run games on weekends.

Game is going to continue in about ten hours from this post (time in title).

Just keep in mind that the ongoing game uses non-default settings. It's slightly more complicated although not necessarily harder.

Compared to a default game:
Road vehicles: More profitable and a lot of vehicles, but still really easy.
Trains: Less profitable, more complicated with way more choices
Ships: More ships but more profitable too so still easier.
Aircraft: Less profitable, encourages variation so you just can't spam jumbojets and concordes. Still very easy though.
Industries: Harder and more variable but it's not punishing like some industry sets. You're rewarded with extra cargo if you transport different raw materials to a industry, but you aren't punished if you don’t bother. For example you get the most out of a steel mill if you provide both coal and iron ore, but you still get steel if you only provide one raw material (even if steel out of only coal is a bit absurd .

If you have any questions, just ask!

From the sound of it, you just got a corrupted download. :/ You can dig through the openTTD folders and delete it manually i guess if you got it from bananas (the automatic download thingy).
