Thanks for the tip Scott, I did download it a second time & ensured the size is as you mentioned it needs to be:

However when I try to start usergrid after that, it throws a message on startup indicating it failed to start although Jetty seemed to have started:
C:\Users\sgs\.a127\usergrid>a127 usergrid start

timeout
failed to start. Log tail:

Usergrid doesn't appear to be running. Run with --start option or execute 'a127
usergrid start' first.
Have you seen this before & any ideas on how to ensure usergrid start?

Check the jar file size, it should be 48581037. You might just need to delete the file and let a127 download it again.
