I have uninstalled 2.9.8 - recovered my deleted 2.8.6 file, installed it and have downloaded several files that I have trying to download for two days using 2.9.8 - sounds like a bug to me. Not all are are effected by it apparently, by reading posts. I am not a "techie" all I know is that it didnt freakin work right and now it does. peace out.
