If you are talking about the 900 MB file, 4 min is excellent as far as I'm concerned - that's over 20 mbps transfer speed. 30 min is something like 4 mbps. You may or may not be happy with that depending on where you live in the world and what your internet plan is. If you are having trouble downloading the file, try running tracert dl08.pgmusic.com from the command prompt. That may give you a clue as to where/if there is a problem. Currently I am not seeing any problem with the server.
I got the 1.8Gb Audiophile into Australia OK, took more than 4 minutes, but it wasn't that bad really.

My initial results below; 28 minutes at (near) 50 meg connection (limited by wireless or it would be higher)...
*Edit; after checking connection speed, I came back to my forum window and download time is now 31 minutes. It got slower. /I dunno
Last image is the tracert. I don't know why it is going back to Montreal after it left here and got to Chicago, but it did resolve. However that redirect added significant delay. Meanwhile my download still drags.
Maybe a temporary internet routing issue (??) FWIW it did indeed fail later

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!
Just tried it again now. Failed. It's downloading something because it takes about two minutes to finish but it's not completing? It almost seems like there's some final piece of the download that's not coming through. Dunno. Last Nov every single RT download failed multiple times but I eventually got them.
I'm in LA using Frontier Fios which is right up there as one of the best internet speeds and connections in the US. I'm having zero issues with any other downloads and I do a lot for business.
Installed the update and immediately get a Divide by Zero error when I launch. The program currently is dead. FWIW, when I launch RealBand, it reports that BiaB changed location from my Audiophile drive back to C:\bb\
Norton reports finding HeurAdvML.B virus. I have told Norton to restore the file in case it is legit, but do not wish to run it unless I know it is safe.
How to fix this? (I am reloading from your link here, so I have the 1800M file, hope that fixes it. (finished the DL, Norton was happy.)
<Update:> Did NOT work. Still get Divide by Zero error. Prog will not run. Tried Run as Admin, same thing. Fortunately, RealBand still runs.
For me everything is in order, downloading about 30 minutes and successfully installed (Czech Republic).

I've been using Freedownload Manager (FDM) for a number of years. Sometimes I have have to start the download in Firefox to get the proper download URL but I then copy it to FDM and the program does the rest.
I downloaded and installed both files ok. (The 1.8 GB file for the Audiophile USB drive and the 900 MB for the wma installation on my hard drive.)
I've failed twice using Mozilla and windows 10 over WIFI. Now I'm using LAN cable. I'm trying in chrome this time. 100 mb connection in theory. 4 mins on the LAN. The 2nd time it downloaded ok but said it was corrupt.
Edit: 3rd time fine and in 4 mins! Using LAN cable, and Chrome. Maybe it's something to do with me doing it more slowly over WIFI with other stuff going on.
