Update hang ups

[Bluesguy]

Had not played for a long time and saw the announcement about the FC Vol. 1 release so I decided to check out my game.  It's standalone version.  Started up and got the window saying there was an update, looked like a 27G download so started. A while later came back and it was downloading.  Came back again it was stuck about a third of the way through.  Left it overnight and that morning had a download failed message.  So tried to start again and it would initialize and then sit there.  Did get it to start doing something but the speed, how much there is left got all confused like didn't show a speed but the amount was counting down and would jump around. Note below, it started 0GB/27.xxGB and now the total it is reporting equals 12.57GB.  Where did the other 12.43GB's go?

 

Now it's stuck again

 

 

The red bar still shows the sweeping fade part.

 

Also I tried to just purchase and download but on their website and just try to buy it and in shopping cart the buy for me is greyed out and my purchase history shows the early access back August 2018.

 

HELP!!

The installer may be writing to an un-flagged bad sector on the disk.  Try deleting what has been installed already, then run a disk-checking utility.

did you test your internet connection? f.i. speedtest?

I've had this problem in the past, and deleting everything in the  .../IL-2 Sturmovik/updates/ folder solved the problem for me (if I remember correctly ... it was an older update).
