I don't want to get utorrent or the torrent because I don't trust torrents...The only time you shouldn't trust torrents is when you don't trust the site you are downloading it from or the thing you are downloading is an illegal copy of something. Torrents are just like .zip folders but in file form.
Did you get the normal download to work or did you have to use the torrent?
Also, which browser did you use that worked with the download?
