Well the download came through with blinding speed just now. It's mid afternoon Eastern Time and all previous attempts have been pre dawn so as to beat net congestion. Speeds were a few k at a pop till the download consistently failed at 250 meg. I figured I'd give it a try while I perused the web for a bit and the whole download of just over 7 Gig came through in less than 10 minutes. Archive opened fine. I'm off to have a play with them now.
