The only issue there has been is once a broken link now fixed.
Might want to get it from someone willing to ftp or torrent it for you.
Odd really ...since it has worked for others without a prob.
Because it didn't download for you ...doesn't mean it hasn't downloaded for others...
so I would actually "ask" if others have had an issue with the actual download...
or ask for help even ...
before simply saying it's a waste of time.
As I mentioned ...
the only download issue was a broken link ..
fixed as soon as notified.
I'm guessing it's failing because your speed is low and inevitably timing out the download...
If you are ..as woody mentioned...
trying to download into storage on a fat partition ...
it....
will...
fail.
It can't take the download file size.
It was never meant to be downloaded to such a partition.
It is meant to be downloaded via a proper operating system running either ntfs, ext 3, ext 4 ...anything large enough for 2gb+ download....
But this is just a guess...since I have absolutely no specifics...
If you believe it is a waste of time...
Spend your own free time as I did and build it yourself.
I have no monopoly on this..
anyone can do it..
hell I'm sure most here would do a better job than I...
so go for it...
the more options ...the merrier.

@woody- aw ...thanks man...
it was a longggggg snarly-snarly snarl...
but it was also fun...
I know you'll like it....
it's just great to have and just jump into...because you can...
rather than all the ugly-ugly of doing it the old way which was so, so, sooo horrid....
not to mention all the perks like being able to keep it continually updated...
[such a relief to use]...and all the other good stuffs like having it on dvd or usb stick or sd card...etc

on the same topic...
I am hoping before Christmas to have at least 1 if not two more ...revised... and even better versions done and up for grabbing...
