      Afternoon Gents,

      I'm so frustrated, just had my new pi 3 delivered from Pi Hut, and I can't download the RetroPie software!

      It starts the download, but never get past 200mb of download. It often drops out, re-attempts, then says it can't be done.

      I've tried both I.E and Firefox. I've also tried a link someone sent me to Github, and that done exactly the same thing.

      ANy help would be more than appreciated.

        The links on the RetroPie website point to files on GitHub, so you were probably accessing the same location.
        I just downloaded the Pi 2/3 image on my fairly old Mac using Firefox and it worked just fine. Does your ISP not like large downloads?

          I'm having the exact same problem, not sure what's causing it.

            I believe there's a torrent client version for the download.

            That might be your best bet if the website download is failing.
