I have been trying to download the latest Win versions for the last few days but cannot get more than about 10M before I get kicked out. I am on broadband and don't have any trouble with other non-inkscape related downloads. Are any other Win users having this problem? Conversely has any other Win user managed to download a complete copy?
I have this problem all the time on windows. But I have no problem downloading with wget on linux. You might try finding a wget for win32. Or even more fun, you might just try compiling from CVS. It is easy, and there are a bunch of guys around to help you get going. (First order of business would be to get TortoiseCVS installed. :) )
I don't think that this is a Windows problem per se. I use Fresh Download as my download manager and the symptoms presented are a severe throttling of the download after about 14 Mbytes. As I regularly use the same environment and tools to fetch complete ISO CDs, it would seem that the problem, whatever it is, is upstream of the end user system.
As I write, Fresh Download has just struggled to complete the download so maybe it would be worth a try by others with this problem? It takes a long time, but it gets there!!
