hmm... how long have you let it sit "frozen" maybe its just hangin a bit. cuz usually if something actually goes wrong it will put out an error, like a winsock error is the most common. so maybe just let it sit for a while, like as much as 10 minutes and see if it will kinda pick up where it left off, or maybe if nothing else eventually it will shoot out an error, lol.

Also, with the new update it took me about 1 day and a half to acctually get my download started. when an update is out, many MANY admins are trying to get it and it makes it hard to download files.
