Impulse stuck on verifying patch.

from Stardock Forums

Not sure if this is a popular issue, but every time i try to download 1.1, it downloads just fine but gets stuck on "Verifying Download". I'm pretty sure it doesnt take this long but then again not sure. Any help would be much appreciated. ;D

Same exact problem here.  Tried shutting down all non essential background services, antivirus disabled as well, still stuck on "verifying download" for version 1.11.038

Try restarting Impulse???

I believe when it's "verifying download" its parsing/creating XML files associated with the downloaded files?  I remember reading somewhere that for some people it was faster to un-install and completely re-install SINS via Impulse as this way the XML data didn't need to be generated seperately in order to compare files and know which ones to leave alone and which ones to update?

Might be something to try if it stays stuck there too long....

From what I know, once those XML files are generated, they stay valid and are only updated when something changes. So first up takes a while, but subsequent changes/updates are quicker when determining the delta
