Thanks for the reply! I did a fresh new install, or tried at least, and had the same issue. I have no evidence, but I think it may have something to do with using fixed wireless internet. I have no problems gaming (use my xbox and also play WoW and SWToR) but I have had a couple starts/stops with other downloads. Just speculating as I have limited IT acumen and knowledge.
But yeah, the same exact issue happened again with the new attempt. Next step, take my laptop to a friends house and do the download there I guess
