bzr branch command fails (twice)

I create a directory for a branch and execute bzr init, then execute bzr branch and get the result:
C:\Program Files\InkscapeBZR>bzr branch lp:inkscape You have not informed bzr of your Launchpad ID, and you must do this to write to Launchpad or access private data. See "bzr help launchpad-login".

At this point the download hangs and stops communicating

I create a directory for a branch and execute bzr init, then execute bzr branch and get the result:
You only write "bzr init" when you want to create a new project or branch from scratch.
C:\Program Files\InkscapeBZR>bzr branch lp:inkscape You have not informed bzr of your Launchpad ID, and you must do this to write to Launchpad or access private data. See "bzr help launchpad-login".
Use bzr launchpad-login (your launchpad username). You must have an SSH key added in the Launchpad web UI. Also try to be patient. Initial branching from LP is rather slow and the progress bar can halt for several minutes at a time, but it's still working, just not updating the progress bar.

Thanks, I just got one step closer. I got an SSH key and recorded it with Launchpad. Now my command history is as follows:
C:\Program Files\InkscapeBZR>bzr whoami Alvin Penner <penner@...1856...>
C:\Program Files\InkscapeBZR>bzr launchpad-login apenner
C:\Program Files\InkscapeBZR>bzr branch lp:inkscape Connected (version 2.0, client Twisted) bzr: ERROR: Connection error: Unable to authenticate to SSH host as apenner@...2293... supported auth types: ['publickey']
............................................................... The email address apenner@...2293... does not exist as far as I can tell, not sure where that came from. Also my username in Launchpad is accidentally different than it was in SVN, not sure if that is significant.

Something's still wrong with the SSH key. If you have more than one key on your machine, you might also need to tweak the SSH config file as described here.

Use Pageant, the PuTTY authentication agent (I had trouble getting it working but did finally get it with help from irc://irc.freenode.net/bzr). Also TortoiseBZR simplifies a *little* bit of the process.

I'm good at making two things: mistakes and enemies.

Yes, that did it!! I used Pageant and it let me in. I had previously used PuTTY to actually get the key, but hadn't figured out the next step.
Thanks for all the help, and I will re-attempt the download on the weekend, and will be more patient this time...
