If it stayed at zero for too long, it'd cancel the download, so I'd have to keep an eye on it. After 3 failed attempts (with 2 of them reaching over 75% complete), it finally successfully completed last night!

Now I'm extracting it. ... and after 95% I got a "path too long" error for one of the files ... I had to skip it.

It's good to hear that some of you have had smooth installations after what has been (for me at least) a very time consuming download/extraction process.
