Was downloading Win 7 pro to my laptop from Digital River (got the student deal on the software). Got to 89% done, and then it stopped. It is true that I had left the computer, and it had "gone to sleep." When I started it back up it came right back to the Download manager screen for digial River, but I can't get it to Go! Any suggestions?
 
As far as I know you can't legally download any windows operating system. I would double check what you are downloading. Most likely you are downloading Microsoft Office?

You can with the student versions. you pay like $30, microsoft sends you a key and a link to a .iso download to burn to DVD. it's 100% legal :)

Yep that's the deal. Plus I paid an extra $13 to have actual disc sent, but that hasn't arrived yet. Sadly, my download is still stopped...
 
I guess you should just wait for the disc then. Download managers tend to be trouble. most of them are just a gimmick. there are some good ones though.
