The more you poke it the slower it gets.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

1.6 GBs.

"14 mins left."

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's done it.

The stupid forum wouldn't open when the downloading was reaching its climax, so I couldn't do a running commentary on the most exciting part.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

305.8 MBs of GIMP 2.10 downloaded so far.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I wonder how big the final file is?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

The fan's burst into life.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

327.3 MBs downloaded.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I'm going to guess at 450. Anything bigger than that seems unlikely.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's stopped. Has it done it?

It says 350.711 MBs.

I think it's finished.

It doesn't say it has but it's not doing anything now.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I'm going to give it a try, and open GIMP and see if it's switched to the more modern version.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's still the old version.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Perhaps I should have deleted the old version first.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Ooh, no. The installer's burst into life again. It's not finished yet.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's downloading more files.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

27.3 MBs so far.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

32.6.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

43.7.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

58.3.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

100 MBs and still downloading.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's stopped at 103.715 MBs.
