I got right in to download the file, but got crappy speeds on my cable (19K/s) and it took an hour to download. But other than slow speeds I have had no trouble at all..

How are you connecting to the internet ? Cable/DSL/Dialup ? I am not sure why you are having such trouble, like I said it took an hour for me to DL it and I had no problems... Perhaps it is your ISP dropping your connection ?

Odd.. Have you scanned for spyware / viruses lately ? If not that then I have no idea... Perhaps Frag or someone else can give you some suggestions / help...

Join the club.

I don't mind waiting in a queue. But when I finally get in I want it to work.

I've managed 72% and 76% (a 110 Megs in all) with a download manager (Flashget) and a 2M/bit/sec cable connection in Aus. Been trying for 18 hours between sleeps. Gonna wait a couple of days now because my bandwith is capped and I don't want to waste my monthly quota.

Suggestion : Provide users with some feedback that we're in a queue. There are x people in front of you etc. Better than blank screens and hour glasses.

Hi,

Maybe try to get someone living nearby to pass you a burnt cd. I never had that problem with cable... 3hours with 8kb per second.[:)]

Its not the speed...its only 15 min or less at 80kb........it simply resets before it completes and is that me or them? I've lost it 4 times now ranging from 73% to 86% complete!

Well I am out in California so if anyone is near me I will send you the file burnt on a cd or if you have AOL Instant Messenger or MSN Instant Messenger I can try to send you the file that way

Same here, on my 5th attempt and it just resets.

Also getright is saying that the server does not support resuming.. and I have confirmed this to be true.

Well, I've got getright on the case, and it's just restarted downloading again.

Since I'm at work, it's not costing me anything but time [;)]
