Ok, here's a problem that I'm noticing. I thought it was something I
was doing, but I left it alone for awhile and it's still continuing.
I'll download a file, and either it'll get stuck at a certain point
and show me the status etc or it'll say something like 93% (always in
the 90's) and then when I try to read with the arrow keys or to
navigate with the tab and shift tab, it won't say anything and I don't
get the files that I uploaded. Has anyone noticed this with the Mac
and the wizzard? I'm going to try to sign up for an account (last
time, it kept saying the page cannot be found) and download the
wizzard.
