Badco, Try using GetRight for downloading. I haven't downloaded the patch yet myself, but in previous SRs CL's servers were configured to allow this. The options to continue after interruptions and lost connections make it pretty much a necessity for downloading files of this size (not to mention the automatic hangup, which lets you do the business overnight with a clear conscience). And of course it means less bandwidth use for the rest of us, if there are less people restarting corrupted downloads. Bill
