No, I have not had your experience, Gene.

I too have a 27" iMac, about 18+ months old although I bought  trade-in model.

I run NWP 2.0.2 under Lion 10.7.2. No problems in use of it.

Comparative sizes and speeds below are from my Speed Download numbers. Convert kBytes to kbits by 8-times approx.

To give a time frame for downloading, Lion 10.0 took me 9h 20m. Speed Download shows my average speed varies from 100 kbytes/s for a 29 MB file, to 256 kbytes/s for a 3.9 MB file.

 In between came NWP 2.0.2.zip at 211.3 kbytes/s [1690 kbits/s] for 139.7 MB.

Ah, Bob Stern's mail has just arrived . 
I think you have an awful internet speed like me but another clean download may be best.
