   Has ANYBODY been able to download these?

   I got the link and tried. It's a 2.7 GB download. Firefox said it was a 2 hour download. Edge said it was a 6 hour download. I finally got Firefox to start downloading it. After more than 2 hours, it had downloaded maybe 20%. I canceled and tried again. That said 42 minute download. For the most part, it reported to be downloading at 300 - 750 KB/sec. It would occasionally go to over 1 MB/second. After more than an hour with maybe 300 MB to download, it FAILED!

   I tried it again and it got confused so I canceled. At this point, I can't even get it to begin! It just brings up a blank "New Tab" page.

   I even tried to get a new download link and the Download Now link also just gives a blank "New Tab" page.

   How am I supposed to get my hands on this? I've tried, across two browsers, several times and it either goes nowhere or it fails! Some giveaway!

   After quite a few more tries - including a "continue" of a failure, I FINALLY got it downloaded.

   It should never be this hard to download any file from here!

   I know I don't have the fastest internet (my modem is a bit old) but I can usually download 1 GB + games in just a couple of minutes at most and this still took more than a half hour!

   I had it downloading for a few hours in Firefox -- wasn't really paying all that much attention to it as I was doing other stuff, & it stopped several times, but always recovered. I wondered if the slow download was caused by the cyber attacks plaguing that region?
