I hope you are well.

I’ve installed the application Antconc on my MacBook, yet it doesn't work. I couldn’t download the corpus from manage your file icon. It shuts down the application whenever I click download. Any suggestions or solutions?

Hi Islam,

It looks like you tried to download all the corpora at the same time. This might take quite a long time. Did you wait for the downloads to finish? Can you try downloading just *one* of the small corpora and see if that works?

I hope that helps!

Laurence.

Dear Laurence,

Thank you for your reply.

I tried with only one corpora, yet it did not work. Please, check the attached  short video to see how it quits last moment. 

Thank you for your time and considetation.

Hi,

I watched the video and it seems you are a little confused about what to do. I suggest you read the help guide. In the video, you seemed to be trying to load a corpus that was already loaded, and then you tried to download an entire set of corpora from a list instead of just one corpus from the list.

Laurence.

Dear Laurence,

The application quits at the final stage, even when trying to download one corpus file. I downloaded it again and the same problem is still there. I suspect it might be a VPN or antivirus application problem that is influencing or maybe the IP address, I assume. 

Regards,

Sam Ihab

Hi Islam,

Did you manage to fix your problem? If not, I suggest you might try the new AntConc 4.2.2 that I just released.

Laurence.
