Why Windows take forever to download Thunderbird?

When I heard about Engimail, I wanted to download Thunderbird. I went to Mozilla Site and downloaded the lately version of Thunderbird. While I'm waiting for Thunderbird to be installed, it's taking forever (more than 30 minutes). I attached this message with a picture. I'm using the lately updated FireFox and trying to downloading Thunderbird. I tried to contact Mozilla through email when I don't find a solution on it website. What disappointed me is that Mozilla don't offer email to contact them directly, so I will have to drop my question here under community. Can anyone help?

I turned off the anti-virus program and tried to install Thunderbird. No success. Again, I clicked on the link that Airmail provided. Still, no success. I am still stuck at the installing bar. I will attach the picture below to show you what it look like.
You can tell on that picture that my anti-virus program is off. It showed a logo of the B with a tiny "X" on it in the task bar.

  • All CBS, Youtube & Xinmsn videos fail to play on Firefox 4.0 all day long. Once 12 am (Singapore Time), ALL videos start to play Perfectly. Even Headline News takes forever to download until midnight, such problem suddenly disappears. WHY?

    '''My Fujitsu laptop is one-month old. Initially I use IE8 and had problem watching videos. Once, an Action Message appeared advising me my API Driver is not working and directed me to HP instead. Fujitsu advised me it's a malware and a scan of Malicious Software Removal Tool was executed, nothing was detected. Ive had Norton Internet Security on my laptop. I switched to Firefox 4.0. All videos - CBS, Youtube and Xinmsn videos fail to play during the day, between 1 pm till night (11 pm). The only time every of these videos start playing Perfectly is around Midnight 12 am. (Singapore Time). This happens every day and night. How is it that during the day and night, every site including Headline News takes forever to download (transferring data takes unusually long time) but around midnight, such problem instantly disappears (and I can download sites very fast)? Also, ALL videos malfunction all day long till night but miraculously return to perfect function around midnight. This is real weird. Can some kind soul help me with this please? ''"

    i would suggest you backup and reformat the windows.
    Previously i also encounter similar error you encountered found out is malware attack, some of the antivirus are not even able to detect them. There are alot of users posted online which you can google around.
    i had tried remove the malware using those so-called malware removal but things gets worst. So finally i reformat the Windows and everything go back to normal.
    Personal advice, don't click or install those unknown message prompted from website. No antivirus or malware protection software can prevent this if you are letting then to get in your system.
    Cheers and hope i did help you in resolving your error.

  • Searching for clips in project window takes forever...spinning ball

    Not sure what could be causing this but searching for any clips in Premiere Pro CC project window takes forever.
    I'm editing on a 2013 iMac i7 maxed out with full RAM (32GB) and my project along with all clips is on an external 4TB thunderbolt drive with over 1TB of free space.
    Searching for a single clip, will often take minutes when typing the clip's name in the project window. It should pop up within seconds but it takes literally can take up to 5 minutes as the mac spinning beach ball keeps flashing. Is this normal? Hopefully the latest update will make the project window searches much faster.
    I just can't understand it as I had a project of similar size in FCP7 where I could call up clips within a split second just by typing the name.

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
    The tilde "~" character represents your home folder.
    Since the problem happens in more then account I'm not sure if trashing the .plist file will help but won't hurt to try.

    If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them.  800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly.  Hope this helps.

  • Videos and pictures received on WhatsApp take forever to download on Iphone5s

    Videos and pictures received on WhatsApp take forever to download on Iphone5s

    This happens to me once in a while when I download video's to my Dell. Sometimes a TV show downloads in a minute or two. Sometimes it can take as much as forty minutes. For me it mostly tends to do this when I install a new version of iTunes (it happened when I installed the latest version of iTunes). However, it never took 2.5 hours.
    Does it always happen whenever you download a video or just that one time??? It might have been just a one time thing.

    Had same problem on my iPad2 with the original 8.0 release.  I ended up wiping it completely clean and doing a reset and restore from backup.  That seemed to fix my issues.  I had the same problem when 7 came out and did the same wipe and restore to get everything working well.

  • Once rental in iTunes, ATV takes forever to download/play

    I download movie rentals or tv shows in iTunes on my computer, but Apple TV takes FOREVER to download from the shared computer! I can't watch a movie in one go-- it pauses to download and takes forever. How do I avoid this? It never used to happen! Since I can download the movies in normal time frames, the internet speed is not the issue.

    I have two iPhone 4 at home, slow slow downloads. One of them I've tested WiFi at work, Same issue. e.g. Apps take forever to download over WiFi compared to a AT&T-3G connection.

    I have only just got an iphone 4 which I immediately updated to ios7 so have nothing to compare it with. But it doesn't even see networks that come up clear on the macbook. Same thing for a colleague in the same spot. previously I had an android phone which picked up just fine.

  • Why does it take forever to download a clip from youtube or a movie its impossible to watch

    When I try to download from youtube my mac takes forever only allowing a few min viewing at a time, same with movies and music clips

    Download 10.6.8 update
    run a speed test
    http://www.apple.com/support/networking
    change your DNS to OpenDNS or something else
    Maybe your ISP throttles
    If you use DSL and have DSL filters on phones, those things can fail and affect bandwidth and need to be replaced ($5-8)
    then again, not knowng wired / wireless or Lion vs SL
    Did it just start? why? what changed?

  • I have purchased Trainz Simulator, but it takes forever to download.

    Recently, I purchased Trainz Simulator, a train simulation game from the App Store. It's taken forever to download and I've become impatient with the game and I've canceled the download and would like a refund. I would understand if the game was big in file size, but really it shouldn't take days to download one game with a cable modem for an internet connection. I would like a refund for my purchase sent to my debit card that I used to make the purchase.

  • Attaching files from Safari and FF- Finder window takes forever to pop up

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having a strange problem with my Finder. When I am in Safari or FF (Using 10.6.3) and I click the button to select a file to upload on any website, it take the finder window about 20-30 seconds to pop up. This happens every time I want to navigate to select a file. I get the spinning beach ball and the Finder window finally pops up generally 20 seconds later. I checked this in another user account on my machine and it has the same problem. I don't think it's a Safari or FF problem, as it's doing it in both browsers---anyone have any idea why it would take forever for the Finder selection window to pop up?

  • Trying to move files to trash takes forever, and finder windows take forever to load files/apps

    after recently installing Mackeeper (yes, I know..) and attempting to uninstall, my macbook pro 13" al. is taking forever to move a file to the trash, and it equally takes forever to open a finder window. running 10.6.8.

    MacKeeper is an exception to the rule that system modifications should be uninstalled according to the developer's instructions. Although not generally recognized as such, MacKeeper is in fact a trojan, because the developer distributes an uninstaller that purports to delete it, but leaves behind something that causes popup ads to appear in the user’s web browser. Try following the instructions here:
    how to uninstall MacKeeper « Phil Stokes
    I can't personally vouch for the accuracy of those instructions, but others seem to have had success with them.
