Can you attach your log file?

Also,  how  are you downloading this for installation?

Try the following:

Please click on the link below to start.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Download all 3 .... clean out your %temp% folder .... 

Turn off your UAC (user access control ) / Anti-Virus and Firewall then after downloading the 3, click on 001 and extract it and let it install ...

Your download is failing due to the method you're using..  Either download the 3 parts that @mdavis22569 has provided or..

There's a couple of ways to properly download and install your Autodesk product to your machine.  Please review this article and the solution it provides.
