New Photoshop beta

[ronll]

Has anyone had any luck downloading the new free PS beta? It's a 1.8gb zip file which takes hours to download. I've downloaded it twice now and the zip file won't extract properly. I even went back to an older command line version of pkzip and altho it tried, it had a lot of files with checksum errors.

Hey Ron,

 

I actually downloaded the beta last night. I didn't have any trouble

with the zip file. I ran it and it works fine. I'm running it on windows xp 32bit

which shouldn't make any difference anyways. Anyhow, I think in the process

of downloading it, the zip file got corrupted. It only took me about 15 minutes

to download the file. Perhaps, try downloading it from another computer.

Good luck.

I'm also on WinXP 32b. Are you saying the download of the 1.8gb zip file only took 15 minutes? I just tried it again with a different browser and it says 3 hours and 40 minutes, this on DSL.

Give or take, 15 to 20 minutes. When I was downloading the file it said 20 minutes on the browser

which was about right. I did it on windows explorer. I believe they have At&t broadband here at work.

Just as a followup, I checked with my service provider and my DSL service is rated at 1.5Mbps. But they now have fiber optic available in my location and for $1 less per month, I can get 12Mbps and free long distance. I just have to buy a new modem at $99. So it pays to check with your isp every once in a while.
