Unhappy Re: 2.9.8 (standard) seems to work ok

Could just be beginner's luck, but you might like to give it a go.

OK, so looks like beginner's luck. Managed to download 98% and then... game over! Have not reinstalled 2.8.6 like everyone else, but to be honest, it's not much better. The only difference is that now, I'm being told to "Wait 59... 58... 57... 56... for1 busy". It did as to wait for "8 busy", so I can only assume this is an improvement? Does anyone know what all this means?

When I let the countdown reach 0, the download seemed to fail. So I have kept clicking resume instead.

Just increased to waiting for "2 busy" - Doh!

That's odd - now says 100% downloaded but not able to move to library. I'm only reporting what I see. Hope not to confuse but to share.

Over to you...
