I am going to have to format my drive and reinstall everything, since I am upgrading cpu/mb, so am trying to prepare for that most unpleasant task by getting stuff together.  I cannot download the x1d patch (nor any other patch) off the Cakewalk website patch page.  I have booted up my laptop, and it won't work either (no download).  I don't know what is up with that.  
 
Is there another way (alternate link, ftp address) that I can get at these patches?

I just fired up the X1d Producer patch download from here http://www.cakewalk.com/s...2007013277?DL=Producer and it started OK

Won't work for me using same link you did, and I am attempting same download from 2 different computers, one running XP and the other Win7.  I can download off other sites no problemo.  Bit confused...

I am trying to get x1d producer expanded patch.

I just fired up a 3rd computer, and same deal, x1dexpanded won't download, just stalls.  What is up with that?!?  I started trying to get this yesterday morning with no luck.  I have had no problem downloading my asus video drivers, drivers for my m-audio and midi card, plus a bunch of other stuff from other sites.  Only experience this problem from the Cakewalk site.

Would someone email me the .exe?  I have no size limit on email.

If you're using the same browser on all those PCs, maybe try a different web browser?

Iexplorer running on all 3 computers.  It seems insane that I would have to install another browser just to be able to download a patch!!!  If I wasn't able to download all sorts of other crap, then I would think something was wrong with my system.  But it is only the patches on the Cakewalk site.

It is now Sunday evening ... day 3 ... I am drinking Red Stripe now.

Try Fierfox. It will dl anything.

I haven't use IE for many years. Right now on win 8 I am using Opera and it does a great job. 

I installed Mozilla and it downloaded fine.  wtf-ever dudes!! 

I also found out that IExplorer saves every site you ever went to ever since you last installed the operating system in hidden files called index.dat.  I had 18 of them!!!   These retain all info about your activity even if you clear your cookies and delete history.  Velly interesting, comrades.  Ach tung!!  Even though I booted to safe mode and came up in command mode, and issued the "del index.dat /s" command,  IExplorer still wouldn't download the patches.  Dammit.  At least now I don't have a file on my computer a hacker could use to find out stuff I'd rather not let be known.

So I guess in my clean install upcoming next week, I won't be using IExplorer anymore.

IE sucks and is very unsecure. The reason you were having problems is likely because IE does not have an integrated download manager. Firefox does. You can get separate download managers if you intend to use IE again in the future for your downloads but I couldn't tell you any good ones because I haven't had any need. Been on FF for years.

Cheers.

Oh and if you want to completely clear your internet cache you can download a program called CCleaner from a site called CNET.com

It does a whole bunch of other useful stuff too like properly uninstall programs that Windows uninstall or the uninstallers included with programs sometimes won't do. Those methods tend to leave extra unwanted/uneeded gack behind. CCleaner generally won't.

Read the instructions carefully before using it though. It is a very thorough program and works well but if you use it improperly you can screw up your system.
