Unacceptable Download Speed on KORG.SHOP.COM. PLEASE HELP.

I think alternate hosting and torrent are perfectly viable solutions.
Most people don't realize that torrenting isn't a "pirating" solution though it is sometimes used for that yes. If you look at any larger linux distribution though, they often have a torrent for it.

I'm putting it up on my Dropbox now, I'll try my best to get it out to people too... And when I get home I'll generate an MD5 and put it up in a torrent so people can start peering it instead of dealing with Korg's site.

If you have a linux based machine you can try this from a terminal:

aria2c -x 16 -s 16 http://www.gearzonemusic.com/Kronos/EXs17.zip

Download down to around 30 minutes here, still slow as hell but better!

BUT still getting a failed install
what install error msg are u getting ?

and what are you using for the d/l ?

tell us about the USB thumb drive you are using and its format

OPERATOR ERROR, Greg, I feel so DUMB!!!!

I was ftp-ing the install to my SSD and attempting to install from the SSD and not a thumb drive!!!
I still operate in a PC world,,

There are several steps and it's easy to miss one or miss a detail.

Glad u got it fixed !

Mathieu Maas provided a temporary alternative download location for EXs17. I managed to download from there in 15 minutes yesterday, compared to the 30hours + and still failure from the official site.

Not ideal, but a good workaround in this case. With such a fast alternative download, it seems indeed that Korg needs to update their service..

Have demo'ed the wonderful new programs yesterday and just bought them from the Korg website

I don't know how fast this location is, but give it a try. It's EX17, so likely faster than Korg.

Sorry, Dropbox suspended my account for "excess bandwidth usage"

I didn't know they'd do that, but I guess it makes sense.

I'll see about setting up a torrent tomorrow.

Unfortunately, install failed..

Too slow speed collapsed some files..??
