I tried downloading a track on Sunday afternoon and it ground to a halt at around 20Kb. After several attempts I gave up and tried again at about 11pm when it downloaded without a problem.

Has anyone else tried this yet? How did you get on if you have?!

I tried downloading a mp3 off amazon the other day (after paying 79p for it of corse) and it ttimed out mid download.

tried again later and I think it charged m again for it.

probably a dodgy connection issue but I think if you have to re-do a download it does charge you again. not 100% certain but I think...

I didn't get charged twice, but I didn't close the window from the original download.

Reading Amazon's blurb about the way this should work, I think the download tool uses cookies on your PC to confirm when the download is complete. If it hasn't been completed you should be able to try again later - I'm not sure about that though!

I've purchased several things through Amazon's MP3 service, with no trouble at all. The downloader works the first time, every time, and loads the files directly into my iTunes library.
