Okay, how about an update, have you been able to download yet?   

Nope....not yet. Stardock emailed and suggested I turn off my anti-virus, pop-up killer and firewall..did that, no change. Another waste of an hour.....arrr! All I want is the WB and Icons and nothing else(18 mgs is a large file) I use Download Accelerator with no luck....I try to unzip the file, it says "no file found" I tried just clicking on it and it say invalid or corrupted file! Waiting for the man to email me back......this could take awhile to figure out(sigh)or maybe I should just ask for a refund?? Thanks for asking for an update but this is really peaving me off right now, so I had to leave the computer alone for awhile before I thow it off a cliff somewhere!

Once again I understand your fustration. Have you tried to download other items like software updates. I only ask this as it would let you know where the problem maybe, your machine (modem, internet connection/settings, software ), your dail up service or Stardock.

Just had another thought, the file is a zip file right? what program are you using to unzip it? Not all zip programs work on all zip files. I hope I'm not being a bother.   

Other downloads are fine......other zips are fine. Might try Winzip, we will see and you are not being a bother.....you are just trying to help and I thank you!

If the zip is corrupt then its crc is wrong....in other words some packets were lost....not an uncommon issue with large dls on dialup..... the longer a transfer the more likely to have modem errors.

One option would be to dl it on a friend's machine...[if different net connection]...and transfer via usb stick, etc. ...

Thanks Jafo, at this point I'll try anything! Huge files give my computer and modem the gears......something that takes over an hour to dl.....things will get lost, no dought!!

Let us know if Jafo's suggestion works. I just knew someone would come along with a helpfull suggestion.   

Bump!
