It works fine for me. The server is the publisher's own server, so I'd suggest contacting them if you think the issue is theirs. As it works fine here, it may be an issue with your connection. Or it could be that the pause window is very short (poor dialup connections often experience pauses, some cloud hosts use very short windows in which to disconnect these connections, we used to have this issue with RackSpace Cloud downloads of our freeware).

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

When I plugged the portable drive after installed this SIW release my norton antivirus notified that the exe file is infected by Trojan.Gen.2

I got this alert too. I'm guessing that Trojan.gen.2 just means Generic Trojan and has been picked up by heuristic scanning (i.e. this looks a bit like something else that was a Trojan) rather than a positive identification. I know some binaries get this just for being written in the same language as ones commonly used for malware (autoit?). You can notify the virus vendors but this might need doing for every major vendor every time the app is updated Sad

This is a false positive. You should report it to Norton, or whichever antivirus you are using. The VirusTotal report on the file is here. Note that Symantec has listed it as clean.

I have reported to both AV's currently detecting according to VirusTotal. Please still report it to your AV provider.
