I am seriously about to check out of Daz for good. I have spent the last several days torn between Daz and maintaining healthy dogs, cats and birds. The pets won. But I did put aside time to download recent purchases andall I get are stupid Dim Witted error messages. Have had several but here are three screen shots. 227 ready to download, 96 ready to install and 4673 Installed.Then it quits and quits and quits.  199 ready to downlaod (there were other errors in between) and I am ready to chokehold DIM. 191 Ready to download . . .  urggggggggggggggggg. On and on and on! This is ridiculous. It's not like I'm trying to do this on an old sony tower.

    How's your internet connection?

    Seems like it keeps dropping connection with DAZ servers.

    No On the other PC also a windows 10 pro (a better machine with dual titan pascals , 64 gb ram etc))  same connection I am about to download no problem. The only difference is on the better machine I have an older Daz version 4.9.

    I updated DIM and Updated Daz on the 32 gb Ram pc, and have no problems with any other programs. I suspect the problems lies somewhere within the upgrade of DIM which I did not do on the 64gb Ram pc . . . thank God.

    That said, I'll put in a Tech ticket.

    You're running other programs that do constant downloading and break the moment the internet connection drops? DIM is kinda...special that way.

    Good luck with working it out.

    Thank you. I apologize if I seem ungrateful, but I am so fustrated and I really do apprediate your help. Go figure the PC that will download everything is the one I try to keep offline. Urrgg!

    It may be worth opening a support ticket, in case there's some issue with your account. You can also download the zips directly from the site and place them in the DIM Downloads folder, as a workaround and a way to compare the performance of DIM and your browser.

    Thank you. You did help. I actually told Dim what to download eg: he main model before the HD for it.The only difference was I had an update for Dim Filters uninstalled on the pc that downloaded fine (still showing in products to download whereas the  PC with the issues had it installed (and I did a system restore on the problem PC today). The weird part is it would still frequently quit but luckily resumed at the 50% or 80%. Not sure what version has this feature but it was a life saver after a tedious cherry picking download.
