I got it this morning at normal speed, so something may have happened since about 7 AM Eastern time or so.


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

Just tried again and yes it is very, very slow. I am on a 1Gig fiber network and normally this size file would be 5 to 10 seconds. It was showing around an hour plus or minus a minute or so.

If one of you could post or PM me your traceroute to nn.pgmusic.com, that would be extremely helpful for the network folks to diagnose the problem.

This can be done using the MTR program:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/winmtr/

Additionally, if you could test this link and tell me if the same thing happens:
https://demos.pgmusic.com/support/patch/bb2021_win_update_build814.exe

Also, here is an alternate link for the patch so you can get the file. No feedback needed for this link.

Andrew, your first dl link in South Carolina is showing a 58 minute download. The second link downloads in under 2 minutes.

Andrew ...

I have tried both the original download link and the alternate link. Both are extremely slow After almost fifteen minutes, both still show almost half an hour remaining. (I tried them at separate times - not simultaneously). I am located in Alabama. I have a 300 meg, fiberoptic download connection and this size file should take littler more than a minute or two to download.

I just waited it out and it too about 45 minutes for the download to complete. I installed the updater to both my external HD and to my C drive. All seems okay.

The first link is a little better than the support page link, mine hovered around 23 to 25 minutes vs. an hour on the other. The alternate link (dl14.pgmusic.com) downloaded in 3 seconds on my 1 gig service.

RB 3c DL is still incredibly slow via the provided link.
I messaged Andrew with a tracert and MTR output.
If you have problems, use this link (with the previously provided URL) -

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.

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.

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."
