C3 suggestion and small complaint.

For the most part I think C3 is working pretty well. I was able to download the core program and the Anderton FX chains without any problems.
 
I copied the files to my DAW and installed. The Off-Line Activation went perfectly as well.
 
I will probably not use the program on the laptop I used to download because it is underpowered. I just use it for internet stuff and not for any real work. LOL
 
FYI my internet is not very stable here in the Philippines and connection drops are a regular occurrence. In addition it is metered which sucks but that is not Cakes fault.
 
So.... as I was downloading the offline help and tutorials it got to about 63% and the connection dropped. This would be fine except that C3 dropped the temp file it was creating instead of saving it so the download continue where it left off. Now I have to start over and that is a pain.
 
Cakewalkers I think you are making good progress to make things easier to download and install. However, I would submit that your download manager should have the ability to continue a failed download.
 
 
Please and thank you!.
 
P.S.
An option to download only without running the install in C3 would also be a great help for those of us who want to download one one computer but install on another. I know I can do it manually using the web site but with a few small tweeks C3 could be the Bee's Knees.
 
Thanks

    I think your points are good ones and hopefully CW will listen and improve C3.

    Best

    While I only installed Sonar, Craig's stuff and help and tutorials I noticed that when I selected a component it downloaded and installed that component. You can only choose one or all not several.

    I much prefer to select the individual items and then download all of them. Also no way to pick an individual item out of the group.

    I'm sure there'll be some fine tuning.

    Thanks Keith.
     
    I'm liking what I've seen so far from the new sonar. I need to spend some more time with it.
