I yes, then I guess that the scenario: ""will be able to download the install and get their keys online"" applies. What about another useful scenario:

I wasn't sure what blog post it was more relevant too (Probably this one) --- Regarding downloading the ISO I have had a problem downloading the 4.2GB ISO image. I’ve tried 4 different times and it has stopped at 88%, 95%, 95% and 50% respectively. I’ve tried using FlashGet, and Free Download Manager but they get to a point where they are no longer able to resume the download. Using the FTP Server as the source they send the resume command with the correct syntax, but the FTP Server simply says the transfer is complete right away.. i.e. REST 4270456832 RETR CodeGearRadStudio2007_v11.0.2804.9245.5.iso 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for CodeGearRadStudio2007_v11.0.2804.9245.5.iso (4467032064 Bytes) Transfer Complete Is this due to the servers being overloaded or another problem? Would it be possible to get teh ISO split up into say 100mb chunks or something.

Regarding downloading the ISO

I have had a problem downloading the 4.2GB ISO image. I’ve tried 4 different times and it has stopped at 88%, 95%, 95% and 50% respectively.

I’ve tried using FlashGet, and Free Download Manager but they get to a point where they are no longer able to resume the download. Using the FTP Server as the source they send the resume command with the correct syntax, but the FTP Server simply says the transfer is complete right away..

i.e.

REST 4270456832
RETR CodeGearRadStudio2007_v11.0.2804.9245.5.iso
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for CodeGearRadStudio2007_v11.0.2804.9245.5.iso (4467032064 Bytes)
Transfer Complete

Is this due to the servers being overloaded or another problem?

Would it be possible to get teh ISO split up into say 100mb chunks or something.

Thanks for this bug-fixing! But they, Codegear, add a brand-new-untested SQL DB and ask us, their customers to pay for it and test this. $1.274 for an Enterprise update or better spoken, for this Blackfish SQL and the DBX4client? No, not me. MS SQLServer Express works pretty good. . . Sorry for those harsh words, but I'm a bit frustrated ;-) CR, I understand that this update is free and that a lot of bugs seem to be cleared (ain’t we’re talking about the 11th/12th version of this compiler?).

All R2 adds (I think) is Blackfish and the query builder, so it's doubtful a person who had bought the original version of D2007 (and so without SA) would desperately want it.

Those, who paid for the original D2007 (and for how many elder versions...), shall pay once again for this version. How much did it cost me and many, many other developers to debug problems that occurred with the original version? How many hours did every developer spend trying to cope with this crappy help-system? How...? Wouldn't it have been a real good opportunity to pay-back a little bit?! just my two cents Once again, if I do understand this the right way, a totally wrong approach IMHO.
