I'm a big fan of this site and forum, but only recently did I get a payed subscription, because I really prefer to play FM with the graphics and stuff... I must sy, however, that it gets really frustrating that all big downloads keep crashing and, even when it's possible to pick up where it failed, it seems to take forever...

I've tried almost everu browser there is, experimented many different internet connections and nothing seems to solve this. Is there anything else I can do?

I posted this elsewhere just a few hours ago, perhaps it can help

It may be an issue with your internet connection. As it's such a large file, the chances of a brief interruption happening naturally increase. If you use Google Chrome, it should be possible to resume the download from the point where it was interrupted, rather than downloading it again from scratch.

If that doesn't work, try to look at this: https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000839.htm

Hi mate
this happened to me as I just downloaded the latest update to check it usually takes me 1 to 2 seconds(I have super fast fibre running at 600 mbps++) today the download was stuck on 99% for over a minute

no big deal but something isnt right as I was able to download other files off site as normal
cheers
