Thanks for the reply. When I try to download through Chrono it will download for ~5 seconds till 2% and then jumps to 100%. So 98% of the download it skips. I tried several download managers and several browsers. 

When I download something else it just goes just fine.. :/

<p>When I download the Craft CMS and try to unpack it. I get the error: "Unexpected end of archive". It seems the download pakage is not complete. When I browse in the .zip file I only see a craft folder (and no public). </p>

<p>Anyone can give me a good download link? </p>

<p>Thanks in advanced</p>

Out of curiosity, where are you located, Lennard?

I think this makes the case for us to get the downloads on a distributed CDN.

If you want to email support@buildwithcraft.com, we can try to send you the latest over email and/or a Dropbox link and see if that works.

Anyone can give me a good download link?

It is probably to do with your connection. I have the same problem here, and I had to use something that can resume downloads to get the complete zip.

For example [Chrono Download Manager](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrono-download-manager/mciiogijehkdemklbdcbfkefimifhecn) addon for Chrome might work for that.
