This is very poor indeed but after waiting 7 days to add the missing content from Premiere Pro 6 and Encore the two ZIP files don’t work using Apples legacy browser Safari !
After all my blogging it appears that the Encore content of 1.7GB only downloads 205 MB of data this is a joke !!!

Luckily I was able to download the premiere content, but Encore is interrupted at about 200mb
I don’t think this is a browser-specific problem, it looks more like a flaky website to me.
I’ve tried four times in different browsers, each time it is a really, really slow download, and each time the file size is different, anywhere from 200MB to 1.2GB.
I’ve decided to give up now, until they put another 50p in the meter!
I managed to get the full 1.7GB download this morning, either they’ve fixed the problem or it’s less busy at 6am!
The download manager that comes with almost every browser is crap.
You could just install the DownThemAll firefox addon and use it for all your downlaods, it downloads fast (multi thread download) and supports resuming (unless the download server doesnt support resume feature, most of them does)
