Sounds like you went wrong at 4.09b...you don't need that. You need a fresh 4.07m, patched up to 4.08m, up to 4.09m (make a copy of your main il2 folder now and save it somewhere incase you need it...you don't want to have to go through the last few steps all over again at some stage), you should then have a fresh 4.09m that you can add either UP2.0 (Full version) or HSFX4.0 & HSFX4.1 to.

HSFX torrent thingys seem ok to me, have you used torrents before? Are you using utorrent?
