I'm downloading X1 Producer - see you when I get back from holiday (a moan).

I appreciate the help I received from my question yesterday re Dimension Pro and Pentagon  not loading in S1 Essential. To cut a long story short, it was due to the fact that Essential is 32 bit and I had loaded up 64 bit synths.
Yesterday I tried to find the Essential files (I do backup) for my reinstall  but couldn't find them, so I tried to re-download from Cakewalk. 
I gave up after an hour or two, and made a better effort to find the backup on dvd.
I debated all day today after being told why I had the issue, and tonight decided to bite the bullet and download/upgrade to X1 Producer. "Only" $99 and for me to move to another daw would be at least as much. But $99 is not chicken feed to me, this is a hobby.
I am now trying to download from Cakewalk, and the only digit moving is the time left section, and it's heading north.
I'm on FIOS and I just checked my download speed, at 17+megs per second.
So I don't think it's me.

I have hardly ever complained here, perhaps because it's just my "hobby" and I might not open up Sonar for a few weeks at a time. 
Beatscape part one (2.9gb)  is now showing 5 hours left.
And Cakewalk - why is there 12 versions of the same thing (Download instruction.rtf) shown in my download area?
Update: Beatscape has jumped to 7 hours.

Sorry for the rant and Cakewalk can move this to wherever they like, I'm off to bed - in a bit when I've finished my beer. Or three.


Edit: Well... to be fair Explorer is at least downloading the stuff, better than a crawl. Chrome may have been the problem, although I've used it for some time. Sorry Cakewalk.

Double post......   

...and Explorer has stuck at 19% trying to download the second part of the install.

My mum is coming over from the UK this Christmas, I'm beginning to thing it may be quicker for her to bring a copy over.

Thanks JSkeen.
I spent part of the afternoon looking at the entry level Cubase 6 at Sweetwater, and came close to ordering. Part 2 of this install has just stopped again completely. I hate downloads too. This is the last time. It isn't that it's time critical per se, but where (and who) are "cloudfont"?
It does look like I can get everything else, but what's the point if the install is stuck?
Is this because there is a trial version available now? 

are you guys using a download manager? if not i would try one.

Just about everything has downloaded now. I do have 8.5 Producer, but picked up Essential when X1 came out as I liked the idea of X1 and I wanted the "cheap" option. Truth be told, I didn't know it was 32 bit only. I just spent time and money upgrading to 64 bit and so am disappointed that another upgrade is necessary, but that's not really Cakewalk's fault, I'm sure I missed it.
I try to be really careful and watch out for the "specials' that may come out with Cakewalk, and  my Sonar upgrades started out with a special from Project 5, so I can't complain too much.
Anyway, I appreciate the comments.
