I had no trouble getting it but NI downloads are notoriously slow. Make sure you’re using the Native Access app. It took over an hour to download Strummed Acoustic 2 and I have a 50Mb/s link. Most of my downloads can be measured in seconds but not NI.

I have had no problem using FireFox. In fact when I formatted my HD and had to install all of my NI stuff it went very fast. Your slow DL my be due to the number of people taking advantage of the sale.
Principal: Your child always causes trouble in school. Me: My child causes trouble at home, do I ever call you?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
I have to use Edge rather than IE or I cannot log into my account. Sorry I neglected to mention that. But to download and install I use the NI Access app as recommended by NI.

You don't use a browser to download Native Instruments libraries. You use the browser to download the NI Native Access, which you then install on your computer. You then launch it and enter your account information. In the interface, you can enter a license code, but for stuff purchased directly from NI, it should how up automatically as a new available download or update. That's where you download Strummed Acoustic.
I also suspect that there are a lot of downloads going on with their 50% off sale, which may be taxing their servers.

I just opened up my Native Access App. It immediately informed me there was a Kontakt 6 Player Update available. I said update and it downloaded (584Mb)and installed the new version in ... wait for it, it is still updating.... Install Successful ~ 4 minutes.
Start up task manager and take a look to see if there is anything hogging your resources. Usually when I have a good internet connection and my downloads bog down something is hogging the bandwidth or the cpu. If you find a resource hog, right click on it and hit END TASK and that will free the resource up.
3 Run it and use its uninstall function to uninstall Native Access, then make sure that you don't close Revo uninstaller and do the advanced scan to remove any leftover files from the computer and registry, you will see the scan button in the Revo Uninstaller program.
I use Revo Uninstaller all the time, its a good program and just might solve the problem for you.
Windows 10 (64bit) M-Audio Fast Track Pro, Band in a Box 2025, Cubase 14, Cakewalk and far too many VST plugins that I probably don't need or will ever use
Revo a great wee program, although it never helped, I have just received an Email from Ni and it included a link to d/load strummed acoustic from a Google storage site and its working now.
Biab files still not working I am being told to try another browser, this is unacceptable if these companys suspect a browser problem well GET IT SORTED !!.
