i only have IP from this GB so it is new...it just tells me the library is already installed

After it tells you that (not sure why it is) can you still go ahead with the install? If not then somehow you have the older Library Installer and need the latest one which you can get on the Sonic Reality web site download page here: http://www.sonicreality.com/index.php/downloads/ (you have to register and login at this web site to access downloads).

Otherwise contact Allen so he can look into it and troubleshoot with you.

Anybody else having problems downloading the Tama Stick Kit. It's the biggest of them all (1,5 Gigabyte) and I've been trying since ysterday to get it. Six attempts failed near towards the end of the download, the last one just now with about 1,24 GB reached. Arggggggg...

Check the traffic colors. If it isn't green I'd wait for a better time to download. Hundreds of people could be downloading at the same time. Also, there have been some good tips for download managers which have resume functions. That should help as well.

Mine has a resume function, but that hasn't helped so far as the connection at one point isn't resumable anymore. Well I'll just keep on trying...

I had the same problem yesterday. Had to resume 3-4 times (worked fine with Download Accelerator Plus (free version)).

I had quite a few problems with downloading the zips during the previous Drum Masters Group Buy, but virtually none on this one, regardless of the traffic (using a 3Mb DSL connection). I use FreshDownload in conjuction with the FlashGot extension in FireFox 3.

Thank's guys, I got Download Accelarator for Mac trial version and the DL speed is almost double now. Cool!

Oh I missed that in your image post. No that's not intended. Someone saved it in the wrong folder. I'll have to fix that. It's a little tricky though. That folder would have to be deleted before the update because the update only replaces like named patches in the same spot and not patches in a different place. That annoys me that someone did that. But human error abounds. I will have to fix that too.

Shaping up to be a nice little Saturday. Might have to head over to Bed Bath and Beyond, Hope Depot. I don't know!

hey man, don't get annoyed....of course there will be errors....i'm in no rush , unless others need it sorted (though no one seemed to notice)..

do ya think this error has anything to do with the fact that i can't install the dry kit 10 ???

Ok, as the other thread is getting to crowded I'll post some Bugs here in the future then.
I posted this over in the other thread, concerning missing samples:

The Nirwana kit has a missing samples issue. Obviously the zip file didn't include those samples. Searching the folders yielded no results. What gives?
The same counts for the Danger Olgle Kit, no samples found.
The DM2 Supraphonic Kit also has this missing samples issue.
The DM2 Sensitone Kit is missing samples too.
One of the rimshot samples in the DM2 Collins Kit is broken, it has a distortion crack in the middle.

Thanks. I'm looking into those and any fixes will be in an easy all patches update.

Sorry my bad. After having finally being able to download the Tama Kit the missing samples in the Misc Kits issue is solved as many of them make use of the John Blackwell samples.

O.k. I the only one having problems with the "gretch kit" no matter how many times I DL it it will not install. OR....it will say it has already been installed. YES I have DL the IP installer update, still having these problems. ALSO the "Bohnm Ludwig kit" gets stuck installing and just sits there like 1/3rd of the way...Anyone else having these problems!!

Redownload the Bonham Kit. They might have exchanged the source file while you were downloading so the zip file would be broken. I had the same issue with one of the other kits, redownloading solved the prolem.

Confirmation here of the same issue and same resolution. I would say you and the guys are off the hook on this one Squids.

And that Sensitone kit for Downtempo and NuJazz....just sick.

Thanks for replying, I will give it a try...I think one problem is that the gretch kit will not install so the bohnm kit is missing samples...I will try and DL AGAIN!!

Good catch, eBow! My Mediums are Dry too... but only in the IMAP version. Not sure why you can't install the Dry Kit though. You could unZip the file and drag them manually to the places they belong if you are eager to use them... and you could even build a temporary version of the Medium Kit by loading OWD 10 Medium GM kit, and then switching each kit piece from GM to IMAP (switching the Mapping Mode setting at the top right of each kit piece) and resaving the Multi. I just did that and it took under 60 seconds to do... although there are a few missing notes.

Can't believe I missed this. I think on that first night of the downloads I was just too eager to be testing all the different kits, and the 3 versions of Kit 10 got less attention. I loaded them up (had the thought that the Medium and Dry sounded pretty much the same) and moved on to the others. They were the same indeed! Now that I hear the Medium, I really like it.

Sorry for your troubles Squidly. Try to laugh it off though. Most of us are patient and grateful, and not too worried about these minor hiccups.
