I have no idea why this is taking so long.

With some googling I found a download:

(Not uploaded by me)

VirusTotal check:

A check with malwarebytes 3.6.1.2711 (Updates 2018/11/30) gives a all clean.

It extracts and starts fine and shows the correct version but I cannot guarantee anything because I did not upload it.
