Wabe, Thanks Wabe. I actually disconnected my firewall and then saw your message after I successfully downloaded Vue 6. As far as download time I can tell you how long it took for me. using an ADSL connection. I started it at 5:30 pm and it was done by 9:30 -10:30 pm. So 4-5 hours. I would recommend all mac users do the following before downloading Vue 6. 1. Turn off their firewall. (Preferences > Share > Firewall) Don't forget to turn on after downloading 2. Disconnect all other computers from a network. I learned this the hard way. 3. Plug your ethernet cable directly from your modem into your mac (do not use a router) just until your download is complete. This is to prevent any interference. In my case someone was using the internet on my second computer and this interfered with the download. 4. Finally, E-ON sent me a new downloader since the original one may have been corrupt. Do this as a last measure as it is usually one of the above problems first. Just trying to save others the headache I had.
