Go back to MCell Home

This page allows downloading MCell and the ever-growing CA patterns collection. Note that if you have already installed any older version of MCell, you can download updates and additions only.

IMPORTANT!
  • This site IS NOT compatible with some download accelerators, like GetRight, Go!Zilla or FlashGet(JetCar). In case a dead link is reported, download the file using the right click and the "Save to disk file" option, OR change your accelerator's impersonation (in some accelerators called "user-agent name") to, for example, "Netscape" or "Internet Explorer".
  • When unzipping any archive present here, make sure your unpacker is configured to recreate the directory structure (in WinZip, check "Use Folder Names").
  • If you encounter problems when downloading any of the files try again using an FTP client, not the browser!
  • Note that all files are available from at least 3 different locations - see the mirrors list at the end of the page.
