I purchased Vegas Pro 18 Edit. I downloaded the "installer", and it seems to never be able to download the files. I just gets stuck when downloading; suddenly I notice the "Stop" button changed to "Continue", and it's still at 0% progress.. I've pressed Continue but the same thing happens; after a while it just stops trying and waits for my input to try again, like so: https://i.imgur.com/MJUyj6U.png

I even tried leaving it overnight and I woke up to a 0% progress and a Continue button.

The exact thing happens whether I try with the installer I downloaded from Humble Bundle (vegaspro18edit_windows.exe), but also with different installers I downloaded from https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/support/service-center/ by inputting my Serial number (vegaspro18suite_dlm_eij3hp.exe and vegaspro18edit_dlm_eij3hp.exe).

This happens whether my Windows Firewalls are on or off.

I also tried downloading the full software from different "Direct Links" shown in https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-where-can-i-download-vegas-pro-and-other-vegas-software--104782/. I tried different builds and different mirrors of Vegas Pro 18 edit... they all either hang or eventually give me a 502 Bad Gateway error.

I remember years ago I had the same problem with Vegas Pro 15, but that time the Direct Links did work. I'm surprised I can't find this same issue posted by someone else... but I don't have any VPNs active nor anything weird so I don't think I'd be the only one affected.... (?)

Does anybody know of a valid link? Should I instead try sailing the rough seas, guilt-free since I have a valid, legally-purchased serial number?
