MS Office download problem

[linw]

Trying to retrieve an MSOffice 2010 Home and Business (she threw away the disk!!).

I extracted the Prod key and it was accepted on the MS download site but every time I try to download it it starts off then fails with 'Network Error'. Does this on two comps here with a perfectly functional fibre network. I created a new MS account for the woman and verified it with the email MS sent to her address.

Guess no one can fix this but interested in other's experiences/ideas.

PS I have done downloads of Office before.

Sometimes the MS download simply keeps crapping out (even on our fibre). You just have to keep trying .
Try Firefox & use it resume download function (I think the newer IE can resume downloads as well ?)

other times the download function simply goes offline for 1/2 a day, not good when I needed to download 2016 for an install :-)

Or use the ISO downloader Lawrence posted. It's in there. But you need .net framework 4.6.1 to use it

Thanks, guys. I must thank Lawrence for his posting as I decided to give that a go and it downloaded the exe with no problem at all. No need to create an MS account, either.

That downloader is a keeper!

All is now well with the world! Until the next time!

Had another thought. Just as well the win 10 updates don't come from those crappy servers!!!!

Their community forum is just as crappy today. Could have walked to town and back. Before it loaded anything !
