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..

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
