That's pretty much it; Impulse tries to download and install, downloads, and then stalls out before installing, producing the error message "File downloaded is smaller than...". Which I assume means a checksum is messed up, somewhere. There's not really a hell of a lot more to add, as this is a rather opaque process under Impulse.

Same here.

Just tried that--No change to the results. Irritating, to say the least.

Did you restart Impulse after turning off archiving?

Shut down Impulse, re-booted computer, and still the same message. As I said, I think it's a checksum issue. That's the only thing that makes sense, given what I'm getting from the program.

Is there an error log in Impulse, and how do I access it?

Well, who would have expected to find the error log there? Anyway, here's what it says:
