Anyone else had this issue when installing the downloaded Logic Pro 9 app?

How long does this normally take to install? I purchased the Logic Pro 9 app coming close to 72 hours ago now and every since the iMac has been firstly downloading and now installing the content on its own. What's odd, is that it seems to have been stuck on the same process now for close to 24 hours which is 'Installing Logic Pro & Mainstage Essential Content'

Surely the install doesn't take this long?

My computer specs are:

21.5" iMac: 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo // 4GB RAM

Logic Pro 9.1.7

Do you think there is a risk of doing a computer restart and interuppting the 'install' - presuming thats what is still happening? The progress bar is moving but there's no estimated time showing on its completion. Ive tried, and i am however able to open Logic Pro and use instruments etc.

I have just posted a message about this too, it happened to me and I had to stop the download as is wasn't going ANYWHERE

You don't get all the content for the sampler and I'm sure other stuff too.....

And I'm not sure where I can download it from or how....

Oh dear - it really shouldn't take so long, but of course it depends on your broadband connection. If I remember rightly, the first download of the 'essential content' took about 40 minutes over my cable connection, which is faster and more reliable than ADSL here in the UK, although I don't pay megabucks for the fastest service.

Don't try and load everything at once - one package at a time - and if it appears to have come to a halt, it should resume the download rather than starting over (it did in my experience). You need to keep a pretty regular eye on the download status - setting it to download the entire content and expecting it to have all finished when you go back to it later may be a bit unrealistic.

There aren't any magical solutions to any of this as far as I can see, I'm afraid - if you're really out of luck, you can sign into the App Store and download the .dmg files to a computer with a faster connection, if you have access to such a thing.
