Admins, ban me, if it warrants, upon this outburst: SCREW THIS CakeWalk web-installer! @ 2-3 MBPS, this new 12 Gb pack finished in less than 1 hour, taking the total to 16GB+ and still downloading! If it tells the user beforehand that this much data shall be used for the basic download, one could make arrangements. There is no offline installer available, at least not on the page mentioned in @65_Skook's response above. If you think 566 MB is large, wait until you see the size of some third party libraries..... (UVI world Suite 2 clocks in at 28.5 gig, Sampletank 4 Max clocks in at 260GB. Some libraries are even larger) No libraries touched, yet. Just the basic setup. Such a bad experience through the CakeWalk installer. Giving up on this! No where it was mentioned that this shall take a 16+ GB download. At least BandLab people could mention it on the download page! Frustrated, Ra.

My basic installation has already used more than 4.5 GB data as it keeps failing and restarts. I just purchased 12 GB to monitor the further usage and I just received the message of 800 MB having been used! The offline installer mentioned above does not exist anymore. I live in remote hills and thus have limited connectivity. I am just testing this download on a friend's laptop in a city to see that if I would be able to install it back home. Until now, I am pretty pessimistic. :-( Ra.
