I purchased the upgrade special ending today and get 13 files to download in 300 minutes.   The files say 300 minutes before they expire.  I hope your sending the physical disks because im getting over 12 hours to download only a couple at a time.  Yes I have t1 which sucks but is the fastest connect possible where I live.  Once we purchase the product and registered to us why is there a time limit at all?  Anyway,  think about the amount of data your transfering in 300 minutes.  We dont have fios out here.  I am assuming your sending the box of disks.  Thanks.  Anyone else purchase the upgrade and have slow connect to download?  Thank you again. 

*Links expire after the time indicated. To get new links, simply refresh this page (sign in again, if asked).

you need to pay extra for the disks.
youll have plenty of time.
i did no probs and at the time my connection crawled.
 
just sign in to your cake account to download your upgrade.
no need for the panic buton/ 

The link expires but if the download is going it will not stop.

thank you very much all.  the download is like 13 files so they all wont be started by the 300 minute mark.  but I will re-log if have to.  Just weird there is a time limti when you bought the software and own the number.  Its not like anyone else can use it.  thanks again. ill keep downloading the next day and a half.

It's a great product. You'll be happy i'm sure.

for sure i believe you.  I was concerned they assume everyone has fios now a days.  Im in a canyon with slow connect.  Had to pay for a t1 to get half the speed of low end cable haha.  Thanks again.  Its till downloading so all seems cool. 

Patience.

Just d/l a few at a time and go about your other business and let them take care of themselves.

Easier said than done I know as I'm always checking progress with big downloads myself even though I know it just prolongs the agony...

I hit the panic button too, the very first time I saw that 300 minute time limit.  I really thought it was an all-or-nothing arrangement, and there was no way everything would download in 300 minutes (even with fios).

But just like the other posts have said:

1. Log back in, when necessary
2. Have patience
3. Feel free to prolong the agony by constantly checking that download status
