I can't download it either. I've actually NEVER been able to download ANY update from my home machine.
With 1.5, I get "connection reset" about 20-29% into it. With the older updates, it would 'appear' that the download would work, but what I got was an abbreviated, non-functioning .exe...
I'm on a 44-49K connection on a good day. I've been trying since maye 2pm EST today.
I always have to download updates from work, where we have whatever super-fast connections that corporations use to get out to the world.
