Just to let y'all know -- be sure to check if you're downloading something massive in memory.

I was in the process of downloading Crash Course from Ellusionist. My parents came home and asked how big the file was, and I replied "about 150MB". My father flipped out, freaked out and said out loud; "You can't have that huge file on my computer!" True, it's not my computer...so I had to delete everything, including Troubl Maker toolbar which was supposed to enable me view the Crash Course. I didn't even download it fully -- I stopped the process when about 10MB.

The only thing I'm concerned about is whether or not I'd have to pay $8 "re-download fee" when, the Ellusionist says, "the file is gone or virus-infected". I don't, can't and won't re-download. Even if I want to I can't download CC.

I emailed the team @ ellusionist and am feeling a bit panicky.

I should've ordered DVD or VHS in the first place, eh?

Edited to add; Waiting for their reply at the moment...

Sorry to hear about your problems but thanks for the warning. I had similar problems with an update for the works accounting system which was downloadable as well as available on CD - it took four attempts to complete the download (all failed for one reason or another) and led to a swift policy decison of 'always get the CD in future'!
