Just splurged on the Stradivari Cello. Cannot for love nor money get it to download though.
Had this problem w Komplete 13; all large instruments tended to fail repeatedly, but I'd just cycle through the Download Queue, hitting Retry on each in turn—they'd manage to download another few gigs before failing again—and eventually they all downloaded and installed OK.
Not this time, though. Hitting Retry instantly brings up Download failed again.
I'm reasonably technically ept, but happy to have anything I've missed pointed out:
- plenty of disk space on all disks;
- separate disks (not just folders) for downloads/app/data;
- Full Disk Access enabled;
- wired ethernet, not WiFi;
- restarted machine, no other apps running etc (repeatedly);
- fixed the weird (!) Application Location bug by recreating the NI application folder
- repeatedly cleared any vestiges of previous failed downloads etc
... and still the Strad Cello fails, usually around 50% of the way through downloading. My ISP must love me.
My main gig is graphics, and my internet connectivity is pretty reliable; regularly shift terabytes up and down the line. So I figure this is either down to Native Access weirdnesses (?), or something on the other end of my connection - maybe my ISP has a broken cache of this file, or whatever CDN NI use is playing silly.
So: is there a direct link to an ISO of any of these plugins? I'm imagining it wouldn't be a security / piracy issue as Native Access provides authentication/activation separately from the installers themselves. Or ... what's my best way forward here?
