Chrome says it won't be ready before a couple of hours (!) The betas are hosted with Amazon S3 in East Virginia, USA. The store versions use CloudFront to distribute the files to locations around the World to speed up the download. If the beta downloads slowly, it will be your ISPs connection to the S3 location in USA. rubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted November 20, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 20, 2018 Publisher beta is moved regularly to the cloudfront servers and the download reliability and speed benefit for autoupdate is excellent. I would suggest we use the same for Mac & Windows Designer and Photo rubs 1 Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

For Designer and Photo, on macOS and Windows, all betas have always been served direct from Amazon S3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Zulu Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hello, this is my first post on here so please forgive if I made mistakes. So I downloaded the beta but when I tried to install it I got the message displayed on the screenshot, I'm not so good with computers so I don't really know what the problem is. Can anybody please help me I was so looking forward to playing with the new features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
