John D. Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Hello. I'm trying to download the free demo of Affinity Publisher on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.14, but after a couple of seconds the download stops with a network error message. I've tried downloading during different times of the day and on different days, yet I keep having a network error. I'm very interested in this product and wish to test it out before I purchase it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hi @John D., Welcome to the forums Sorry to hear you're having trouble! Can you please confirm for me, do you have any of the following installed: Anti-virus software? a VPN? an ad blocker? a download/network manager? If so, we recommend closing/pausing any of these running services to make sure they are not interfering with the download. Secondly, I recommend trying to download the application from a different web browser, for example if you are using Safari, try using Google Chrome or Firefox to download the app from the below link - https://store.serif.com/update/macos/publisher/1/ I hope this helps!

John D. Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hello Dan, I do have ad blocker on Opera. I'll use a different browser to see if that works. Thanks for the recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John D. Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 Update: I turned off the ad blocker in Opera and the download worked. Thanks again for the help. Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
