I'm running Windows 7 on an HP Pavilion laptop.

I made my account today and went through the standard downloading procedure. The downloader seemed to finish the download at a reasonable albeit fairly slow pace but when I clicked complete nothing happened. I read the about and it mentioned that I should have run the downloader as Administrator so I exited out of the currently frozen but complete download and restarted my computer. When I booted up and ran the downloader as an Administrator nothing happened except for a constant loading circle and my explorer program became unresponsive. This problem has persisted despite my restarts and the torrent linked in the faq doesn't seem to have any seeders.

How long have you let it just sit there after clicking complete/install

It can actually take an annoying amount of time.  I'd let it sit for...1, maybe 2 hours, and see if it shows up.

Thanks, I only left it running for like fifteen minutes before. I just went back and tried again, after an hour or so, the installer popped up. Looks like everything is working now.

Yeah...it's an annoying quirk of the installer.

Glad to hear it's working, though
