LiveCode University software v123 is full of bugs. *FIXED*

So full that it is painful to use it - it's just a source of frustration and disappointment.
First of all whenever I start it up it each time it asks for the registration number. Then it detects that there are updates available. Of course there must be updates available because I cannot view the examples of many lessons, they are not displayed - the package is incomplete as it is offered for download.
When I click on 'Check for Content Updates' it shows Updating Resources dialog and starts downloading something but it shows 'Network Status offline' in the top bar even though I'm connected to internet.
Shortly after that it hangs up. After a while it shows an error message: 'Unable to create database cursor on resources table query: Lost connection to MySQL server during query.'
My download speed meter shows 10-30 MB files downloaded but where are they??! Why are they not showing up in LCU as content?!
I emailed all these points to LiveCode support (Heather) 4 weeks ago but as today there is no improvement.
Yes, I do have a slow mobile internet connection, but I tried to do the same update 2 weeks ago using broadband and the results were the same.
The only way it will work if the developers will provide a download link for an offline updater file so that the update downloads can be resumed when interrupted, but that maybe they don't understand why it's important to do for thousands of people that have slow internet connections.
