Some web browsers are saving people from themselves by removing the .exe from the file name so that you can't accidentally execute something you downloaded.
Is this happening to you? Check to see if there is a proper extension on the file.

Having a download manager can help, especially if your connection is not consistent. There was a thread a couple days ago with some helpful links. http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/2927585 If the file still has .part on the end, it did not complete the download. A couple other things to verify is that you have enough space and not to monitor the folder it is going to during the download (windows tries to refresh the view for you, which may interfere with the writing). A Download Manager is the best thing to help you.

Antivirus or security scanner interference?

The .part file is the temporary file as it is being assembled during download... when the download completes, it will convert to the final file. If you saw both, it failed during this conversion, so could very well have been an anti-virus issue. (The .exe file you saw was probably 0 bytes as well, though listed).

Yeah - this issue comes up quite often - If I recall correctly, the indication from Cakewalk to disable/suspend antivirus software is in a file that you only get to see AFTER completing the downloads. (I am not 100% sure of which document this is in, but think it is in a read me or something like that, which is available only after the downloads).
Anyways, I wish that some sort of sticky post were created with these kinds of download and installation notes available PRIOR to doing the downloads and installation. (just a thought Cakewalk folks). Having this kind of info available up front here in the forum, and/or listed explicitly on the download page would likely save some folks a lot of time, not to mention saving needless extra download requests of the Cakewalk servers (not having to repeatedly try to download entire product releases, just because folks did not know that antivirus software could mess up the downloads).
Glad you have it sorted out.
