This happened to me on Sunday but eventually downloaded after about 5-6 hours. The quick fix for me was to download and compile the source from github while I waited for the launcher version to complete. It’s a pain but compiling is simple and will get you up and running faster.

Still can’t download showing 0 b/s

I had to go to work and use the T1 connection there.

Still getting horrid download rates with Marketplace downloads. its showing like only 300kB/sec thats sad… I have a cable model and can hit 20 mb/s easy.

Anyone care to help me with this. Perhaps there is a log?

How are you connected to the modem? I use power line ethernet adapters on my desktop, and it did this (although it eventually finished-took the whole day).
