Got the 32 bit up and running. Gonna try the 64 bit also. Interesting trying to find where they put everything, but I expected that. Thumbs up so far.

Well there are two links, one for 32bit which is a few gig and the one underneath, exactly the same for 64bit which is 15meg.

Even the link posted by scourge34 on the first page is the same...

Did you try using the download manager on that page? That's what I finally ended up doing to get the 64 bit version. And yeah one time I tried it ended up being like 17 mb. :shrug:

I ended up having to install getright to get this one.

The download applet on the page was constantly un-available and
the download link would time out after 30 mins or so :(

So I went and got getright and no problem in the morning. Hehehe.

So any download manager should help just fine.
