You can get your history archive now with our digital downloads. Just a few things you need to know:
1. After your purchase, you will get a download link.
2. These are huge .zip files. Make sure you have enough room on your hard drive before you start your download. Also, if you don't know what a .zip file is or how to work with one, do your research before you download.
3. Do not attempt to download to a smartphone or tablet. For some reason, smart phones are generally not happy with large files.
4. Only attempt to download from a wired or a strong WIFI connection at home. Don't try to download at Starbucks..... Public WIFI is notoriously unreliable.
5. Because these .zip files are so large, they will take some time to download. We recommend that after you hit "Download" don't do anything for awhile, especially if you have a slow internet connection. Check your "downloads" folder. That's where the .zip file will end up for most people.
If you have a strong WIFI or wired connection at home, these digital downloads are a great way to get you digging through your history archives right now!
