The speed of your system has little to do with it; your Internet connection is far more important. Do you have DSL? Cable? Dial-up (shudder)?
Which browser are you using? Find a download manager add-on, which can help you download multiple files, and/or resume downloading if it stops at some point.
You do have sufficient free space on your hard drive, right?

I have a program called "Internet Download Manager" ... it speeds up downloads of everything, and lets you manage the downloads much easier. (there are similar tools out there, you could likely search for the various ones).
Have Fun!

I would turn off the virus scan while downloading. If you are concerned with files from PG Music (I'm not), then reactivate the virus software and scan the downloaded files.

Hello vishnu, Quote:

It sounds like you might have started all of the downloads at once. I'd suggest that you try downloading one at a time.

Relax, you have a link to your download page sent to your email. You can try again later, or even in a few days. If you have any trouble getting the files, or if you want to have the DVDs shipped, you can contact us.
The MegaPAK is quite a large step up from the Pro version, there are alot more RealTracks files included. You can still install the Band-in-a-Box 2012 program and use it, even if you haven't yet finished downloading all the RealTracks in your order.
In addition to the Internet Download Manager program that Peter mentioned, there is a Firefox plugin called "DownThemAll" which I use alot. It is an excellent free download manager. You need to have the Firefox web browser installed to use it. Not only does it speed up downloads, it allows you to highlight all the links on a page, and set it to download them all automatically.

Yes, just save the email containing the download link. You would have received this email automatically when you placed your order. If you don't see it, check your "spam" or "junk" folders in your email program, the email might have ended up there

If you lost connection or see it stalling, it's OK, just stop and reconnect. You don't get just one shot at it. Your link(s) will likely work for days.
I'd reboot everything, including modem and router (if used) and then start fresh. I have basic cable connection and none of the files took even close 12 hours. If that doesn't work, try download manager, as suggested ^
The problem is most likely a connection issue. I've had times when an internet router went down between MI and BC (imagine that; cross country and international)
Tracert showed me exactly where the problem was, so I waited a bit and continued later when the internet router issue was resolved..

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
