Downloads running almost to completion and then failing

I’m trying to update various products in the ASC, and each is running through the full download but then instead of completing it reports ‘Download error’ and Retry, so I can’t download any updates (without getting each manually from the website, outside of the ASC). I’m running a MacBook Pro M1 on MacOS 15.0 Sequioa. I’m in touch with support, who are providing lots of detailed technical help, but so far without resolving the issue. Wondering if others are experiencing the same and found any resolution?

HI @mart and welcome to The Sound Explorers Forum!

If you’re already in touch with support i would guess they’ve already asked things like ‘have you got anti-virus/malware/browser extensions’ etc that might be causing this?

Have Arturia confirmed the ASC is compatible with Sequioa yet? The instruments etc are not as far as I know.

The question I’d ask first is “Where is your Content Location set to?”

Is it the default /Library/Arturia, or did you set it to an external SSD?

Running updates on Arturia software when the Content Directory is on an external SSD has been broken since at least macOS Ventura (late 2021 for me). I don’t install their stuff on macOS, anymore. It’s a maintenance nightmare having to move the entire content directory to the system drive and then back whenever I need to update a plug-in.
