You have a bad download. Can't explain why. This happened to me 10-15
times. One method would give me 721 bytes (like you) and another download method gave me 907 bytes. I kept on trying and eventually got the correct download that was 2.7 GB. This took 2-3 hours to download using a fast DSL fiber optic line. All I can say is keep trying. It must be an issue with the download site. One method that worked with me was to download a different "Download Manager". I like DAP, which is free. Then you can right mouse click on the link and get a menu option that says, "Download with DAP". Select that and it worked fine. Other option is to keep on trying at different times of the day. Get it done before the 100,000 limit (they will cut the download off). "Will Schuitman" wrote in message ...
