just go back and redownload, normally most sites will allow you unliimited downloads of the purchase, if not, just send them an email. make sure you turn off computer then re-start, then check folders again.. yuppers, sounds dumb but sometimes the system needs a kick in the .... to let you see it there.
good luck

Sorting it out. I think the rain makes my internet connection flakey, and the downloading site needs a long, steady connection. If I try it enough times, it seems to work. (Thought the information might be helpful if anyone else is in the same situation).

Erin.

Just a tip for you;
If you have a laptop I do not use my phone, which is how I normally connect, for big downloads off to McDonalds or another free WiFi place, drink a coffee and download there.
Another option is to have a friend download it that has a normal connection or try an internet cafe or the Library. Bring a zip stick with you and download to it directly.

Hopes this helps you out.
