I'm having pretty much this exact same problem trying to download the Revit tutorial. I can't tell if Akamai’s Download Manager is the problem, or Autodesk doesn't have the file there to download. I've gone through all of the troubleshooting; I'm using firefox, I've allowed pop-ups, I have Java, etc. It appears to be stuck and won't download anything at all. I see a play button beneath the download progress bar, but nothing happens when I press it. It will say "calculating download time," but never appear with a time. Sometimes it downloads a file that is very small and that file will not run. I would assume that the Revit trial file is large, I'd guess more than a gig, but the file I get is less than 10kb.
And after filling out the form and I've clicked "Download" I don't see any alternate download links. (Nothing says "having trouble downloading? click here".)
Searching through all of the help forums, I've seen several people with the same or similar problems, but I have yet to find the solution. I've also heard of other people having issues with Akamai's software on other sites (such as Adobe), but again, no real solution. I had tried to download the tutorial a week ago, gave up then, and today tried again with the same results.
Is there any way I can download the Revit tutorial directly without having to use the Akamai downloader?
