Cant wait to fire up those instrument tracks with the vst wrapper- cant wait.

!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to get home!

Edit: I noticed that the Mac drives for the Firewire 410 (I'm running Windows XP with this) got updated. Does that mean that an update is not required for XP to run PT 7.0 or is one coming?

this update takes like a million years to download hehe! even if ur using a broadband connection it downloads like dial-up speed...do u guys know what's the actuall size of the update? coz it doesn't say how big it is...i've got no idea how long i have to bloody wait for this download to finish...can't wait to upgrade my system...hehe!

The M-Audio server is pathetic! Not only is the download slow and unreliable, but worst of all the server does not support resuming. This means that people will be downloading over and over and over until they get the whole thing. This process is self-defeating. Sad.

i guess i'll just have to leave my computer ON overnight...i reckon the download should just be at the digidesign website coz its way faster there...grrrr!!!! javascript:void(0)
it doesn't even say how big this file is...

Well, my downloader is on its third attempt. I'd already downloaded about 40mb between the 2 earlier attempts, but since there is no resume those bits are gone. Surely, some webmaster at M-Audio must be realizing the shortcomings of not having a resumable server. It just started at 0kb with who knows how much more to go. This was poorly planned to say the least.

after 3 hours on stupidfast work connection, i'm up to about 22Mb downloaded. off what, 70Mb or so for the XP version?

why oh why don't companies start using torrents to distribute large files like this?

*sigh*

[Brian!]

ill post a yousendit link if i end up being able to download it and the site is still slow

[Tybone]

Hi everyone. I managed to download the file overnight. It took almost 7 hours to complete. The file is 85.8 MB (90,069,825 bytes) in size. I am glad it is in and will install tonight. I think I might still order a CD. Otherwise there are a few more downloads to do to get docs and drivers etc...

Have fun.....be patient.....

BTW, I was on my home DSL connection. 1.5 Megabits. I never saw anything over 100kbps.

Ok I am sorry if this has been asked but I did look around before asking.
I have M powered 6.8
Is there a way to update it to 7.0? And if so where?
Thank you VERY much

Stacy
