I can't download the latest and greatest WindLight viewer. (1.18.6.76453, released yesterday, after the security problem was patched.) It gets to about 31 of 33 MB and stalls. (31,381 to be exact.)

Has anyone downloaded it successfully? If so, any suggestions for getting around the stall?

Download worked for me just now. You downloaded directly from http://secondlife.com/community/firstlook.php, right? (I'm not sure auto-updating from within the viewer is as reliable.) Haven't tried to install it yet, though.

Well, I tried 3 times last night. No dice. I tried again this morning. I cleaned up my download area, rebooted my PC, even tried using IE instead of Firefox. Still no luck -- it consistently stalled at the same spot. So I posted my question.

Looking at the replies, I decided to try it one time. IT WORKED!

I guess it wouldn't be SL if it always worked the first time.
