We made it clear in our December announcement that they would not be available in our first release, so it's hardly a surprise.
Really? You can't read the ECM - this was documented with our first announcement in December. Further Troll Performance posted links all across the internet weeks ago about how to acquire stock files. If the restriction exists on how many you can download at once, you had the ability to manage that issue weeks ago so it wasn't an issue on the day of the software release. Given your issue, I'm sure you don't want to see other people in the same boat, so once you've finished downloading them perhaps you could consolidate them and share them so others don't need to suffer the same fate
