I can't get the CbB update downloaded. I have updated BA to 3.08, but when I try to do the update, the downloading stalls. The word "downloading" pulses slowly, but I have left it for several hours, and it never finishes. I have retried many times to no avail. I tried it with both a broadband cable as well as my wireless device, and the result is the same. I have Microsoft Security Essentials for AV. That has never interfered with downloads in the past, so I don't think that's the problem. The original download went fine. I've logged in and out, rebooted the computer, still the same result.

I have same problem...I check on the boxes with the updates click on install and nothing happens...

Mine hung up, too, but after about 5 minutes I closed BA and fired up CW, and all was well.  The add-ons were no problem, they downloaded and installed in a matter of minutes.  This process could be improved for sure, but this update is worth it for me.

Still no luck here. It just keeps giving me the "downloading" pulsing-thing, but nothing downloads. I can keep it going indefinitely apparently, with no result. I'm wondering if it's an internet connectivity problem, though I've never had that problem before.
 
My initial install went ok, it's only this update that is proving problematic.

MAYBE NOT A GOOD IDEA! See below...
Uninstal CbB, reinstall CbB.
Several, me included, had the dl “stall”. Check the sticky thread above.

Whoops! Dual post, my fault

Mine didn't work either, Because it has no progress bars it's a huge waste of time. 
I give up, I will wait until they work the bugs out of the installer. 

Well, I unistalled and attempted to reinstall. It said it was downloading, 0/3, then went to 1/3 then 2/3, then - nothing. I now have nothing. It is kindly offering to do the same thing again. I knew I should have left well enough alone. Now I can't even work on my projects. Great.

BandLab assistant reported that CbB was still installing but everything was already installed. I don’t know about the verbose installer as I received no feedback about the 8nstallation at all.
Have no idea where the Theme editor is yet but I’m still working on finding stuff and copying over to CbB eg. the FX presets etc from Splat.

Same here the Assistant just hangs and hangs on download, no progress bar so no indication if download is happening.
Re-installed Assistant numerous times, cleaned out possible registry entries still nothing.
Not moaning just moaning :)
