Those stalls are not uncommon with Ancestry to RootsMagic downloads. There's a lot going on there besides just downloading data. And Ancestry often gets busy esp. with large trees and RM has some history of not completing downloads & imports from Ancestry. Best just to keep trying. Are you on the current release of RM (v11)?


I suggest asking in the RootsMagic Communities rather than here. It's either an Ancestry or RootsMagic issue not a Mac or browser issue.
