HI @Anonymous

Welcome to the Community.

The error 8 message indicates that the Download Manger got disconnected. Follow the suggestions in this AKN article (I like the Browser download) and post your results so others might benefit.

HI! I 'm new in Autocad and as I download and install it didn't work, I dont know why, it keeps prompting an error message. And as I uninstalled and install my Autocad installer again, nothing changed. Someone can help? Thank you!
