It is with a download manager that just simply sucks. It is right now the 4th time i start the download for SBS 2011. I have to download everything at least 2-3 times before it works.

Send all of this information This should give them the amount of data they need to understand where the failures are occurring and help us understand what it will take to fix them. If you want to make multiple attempts, and send in a single email with all of those attempts, that’s fine. I don’t think they need any more information than what State or Country you're in You can get this by opening a command window (click start, then type cmd), and then at the prompt typing "nslookup it happened at 38% complete, include a screenshot).
