But just how many hoops do they expect makes this worth their time to offer in giveaway of the day to build their list and advertise their other products? What really stinks is I started this before noon and now have 45 minutes to try to get it to finish and am still waiting for the re-install to actually finish before I can do the rest. I don't mind registering or giving my email and name, etc. I am really not happy with reallusions bells and whistles. Doing it only because I have been needing something like this for a long time.
Then to top it off it said I had to uninstall my registered 2.14 version to install the newest version.
Something that should have took an hour from beginning of download to full set up taking almost 12 hours by the time you get the 2.14 version and learn you have to go through even more downloading to get the patch and bonus. Way to many hoops to jump through for those of us with slow internet connections when compounded by super slow downloads. Then maybe you don't keep up with the complaints in real time and letting us know quickly just is not viable for you because it is time consuming. Too bad you don't do what was suggested and provide the ReadMe.txt file to read for instructions and email any updates to those who are trying the programs should developers make quick improvements when people start having problems. Taught me a lesson here to quit expecting good things on these programs you offer. Never tried again with this "free" giveaway so never will be able to tried it. Worse experience I have ever had with a GAOTD offer. Had to just shut down with power switch and turn back on. I have 6 GB of Ram and 2 very fast (3 GHz+) processors. Locked computer not allowing any activity except mouse cursor movement. Tried just closing it with usual method: Red X in corner. I simply got tired of this and canceled unzip operation. It keep pausing at 0 Kb/s then jump to some higher value for several minutes. Then back to around 750 Kb/s, then 0 Kb/s. After that the unzip never completed as it went fairly fast at the beginning to 83% complete. Still took 33 minutes to complete download.
