Problems downloading Messenger Plus Live 4.5 by Alundil on 02-14-2008 at 07:26 PM

I've read the stickies and am still having issues downloading messplus.  The download from the main plus site hangs at about 97% and stays that way for hours if I let it run.

I've also tried downloading the install from the SIMTEL mirror site and the file that I get is "download-msgpluslive.zip.exe" and I receive an error each time i attempt to launch this one stating that "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."  I am an admin on this computer.

When downloading it, choose "Save" not "Run" :p

That is what I am doing.  I generally never choose to "Run" when downloading an app from the net.

Before downloading, clear you browser cache.
