R9 download speed...

[plaamook]

I had no probs yesterday. Got home, R9 was up, DL in few min. Quick prob fixed w code meter (what a surprise) and skedusch! R9.
And I'm so glad I did that too cause I'm in Gozo (on Gozo?) now and the interwebs are crawling here. I almost waited till I got here thinking I'd let the DL crowd disperse first.

Don't hate me, but im one of those people who never had problems with Propellerhead Software. I can't even find bugs in beta phase. My downloads are always excellent. What am I doing wrong?

I had no luck downloading the R9 with soundbanks. When the download started, it said it would last many hours or days. Then I tried just downloading R9 without the sound banks. When I installed, it downloaded the soundbanks in a few minutes. I highly recommend going this route: Download without sound banks. When you install, just let Reason download them.

You're not hitting it hard enough! I've had pretty smooth upgrades but I've found loads of bugs in beta. Loads of em.

This is what worked for me too!
