I just tried downloading aswMBR.exe as you said. The PC told me 35 mn download and counting down VERY slowly. That feels odd since that has not happened in years, which was several kinds of connections ago, plus the other tools downloaded in seconds.
Because I started having problems after I had an unusually slow download with Java, I just cancelled aswMBR.exe download. Please let me know if that long of a download feels right to you and if I should proceed.
Thanks,
Yveline
