Hatto CD

Is this CD what it appears? No - it's one of over 100 fakes, concocted in what is the most amazing musical fraud ever perpetrated.

Resolving download problems - short files


The problem:

"The New World stops two thirds through the 3rd movement. Why? Could I have done anything wrong?"

 

The most likely cause:

An interrupted download - the connection to our server was dropped before the file was complete for unknown reasons beyond your (or our) control.

 

The solution:

First clear your browser's cache of temporary files, then restart the download from our server.

 

Clearing your Browser's cache :

Each time you access a file through your web browser, the browser caches (stores) it. In this way, the files (including any images on the page) do not have to be retrieved anew from the remote web site each time you click the Back or Forward buttons.
