Sorry to hear of your troubles. IMO this is a classic example of the powers to be giving into the whiners. Awhile back many complained that they wanted more control over FW auto-downloads. Apparently NG thought this was good idea and now for the most part they have stopped most if not all auto-downloads.
In your case you may have to perform a hard reset and start the process all over.
