    Unhappy works 8 update problem

    The update for works 8 will not completely download no mater how many times I try...
    Heard at a local auto-repair shop:
    "I couldn't repair your brakes,
    so I made your horn louder."

    OK just tried from the link above and it fully downloaded in a few mins which suggests the problem may be at your end.Are you using a download manager,do you get any error messages or are there any errors showing in event manager?
    Oh and as its a largish file do you have enough room on the partition in question?

    No download manager. No errors, it stops downloading at random times saying download is complete but isn't. I have plenty of room
