The dynamic duo "mythical John Key and the Kim Dotcom" sorta a little like "Laurel and Hardy" .

Excellent.

HHmmm. In China and currently downloading (if you can call it that). The download speed test suggests a speed of 5 mbs whereas the download is progressing at an exteremely slow 120 to 200 kbs.
Different location and different location and a poor download speed.
Must be their cloud server solution choking up.
Where are the disks?????

Slow speeds appear to be a regular in the recent, if not just stupid things happen, all maybe within the last six weeks .

Did you use a download manager? Get Free Download Manager Lite and use that if you haven't. It'll open multiple threads and pull it down much faster, and if it flakes out you can continue where you left off. Takes me about 40min to download the entire 10GB.

30 min! What bliss. You must live next door to the exchange or have UFB. I did try one download manager but it didn't work. I will try the one you suggest.

A thought idea.gif , maybe cheaper, you have brought the licence, It maybe cheaper and quicker to ask someone for the D/loaded and working copy in you area .... On invitation - rip around to their home hanger/man cave/bungalow with a memory stick .... and cool.gifDud Daaarrr ! , on installing put your licence in and problem solved !

Now who is going to be the nice person to invite Steve aka 'cowpatz' to save all this hassle ..... think its all this damn VODAPHONE dribble in the last few months causing the problems.

This is what us dudes here in Christchurch do with the ORBX product ! cool.gif

Just tried the download manager but it keeps coming up with a server error. The link works without the download manager but not with. I will wait until I get home and try again. Quite annoying really.

Talking about this before, Greg stopped trough and pointed out once it had d/load so much information , the d/load manager recconises the old info that maybe corrupt that's one problem cleaning the PC off everything previous .

I'd recommend a local with it running when you get home , get a copy and away you go .

Yes good idea Warren (and I might have to resort to that) but it is a big ask to expect someone giving up 10 Gb of their bandband data usage .
Just seems a really mickey dick way to sell and market a product from a company like Locheed Martin.
