Can't download any Autodesk product from student community

I am a registered Autodesk student community user and have successfully downloaded AutoCAD before (through the old downloading tool). Now when I try to download through the student community free downloads page, I get a long, thin white bar with a [CLOSE] button and nothing else. Nothing seems to start automatically downloading either. What's wrong?

Hi megagaialover:
You can try downloading the product again today. The 2013 version is working from my end. Prior to download, please check your system for and disable any of the following:
# Firewall - These are designed to stop downloads from non-approved sites.
# Anti-Virus Programs - These will try to stop or scan a download. It may cause the download to be corrupt or damaged.
# Download Monitors - Programs such as GoZilla! and NetZip are not compatible with our server and will sometimes block or stop downloads.
# Screen Savers - In some instances, screen savers can interfere with the download process. If you have a screen saver that is starting while you are downloading, please disable it temporarily until your download is complete.
Thanks,

I have been having the same problem myself. Take a look at this screenshot.
I myself have switched from Chrome to Internet Explorer and even Safari to try to download the software, but to no avail.

Hi brennonbrimhall,
Could you please let me know if you are on a PC or a Mac computer?
Did you try to clean the browser cache, close all the browser windows and log in again to the Student Community?
Thank you for your help

Yes; I own both a Mac and a PC. I tried both - Safari on my Mac and IE and Chrome on my PC. I will try clearing my cache and repost if it doesn't work.
