    Yes it would appear so, it's a while since I actually installed it.
    GTK+ 2 Runtime Environment
    This package is required to run The GIMP on Windows 2000 and newer.

    You are probably doing nothing wrong. I have just tried the first download link on this page and it won't download for me either!

    I just downloaded the main install file without problems. In fact with my new whizzy 8Mb broadband it took about 10 seconds!

    To answer the other question, yes you must install the GTK+ 2 runtime environment and install it before installing GIMP.

    There's been another thread on free photo editors running on this forum over the last couple of days

    I would have a look at that and try say Irfanview or PhotoPlus. You'll probably find they will do the job if you have a deadline. Go back to the GIMP later if you are not happy with these. HTH

    I would give GimpShop a try here.
