=== How to download these big files reliably, if you have bad Internet ===

You should use a file downloader application, which could continue the downloads even after instant shutdown of your PC/Internet.
These instructions below will be for Download Master, my favorite file downloader.

1) Get the Download Master 6 latest version from http://Westbyte.com website -- that's their official website.
Direct link to get this program:
http://download.westbyte.com/dm/dmaster.exe

2) During the installation, please avoid choosing any toolbars / crap applications that will be offered,
install only Download Master !

3) After the installation, go to Instruments -> Settings, look through the settings, disable the browser integration for convenience,
then select "Maximum number of simultaneous downloads" as 1 (because Letitbit doesn't allow simultaneous downloads for free users)

4) Now, perform steps 1-10 of "Download from Letitbit" instruction, use Firefox browser (because it allows to copy direct links of download)
5) After you do "10)" and download starts, go to "Downloads" in your Firefox and stop the download after it download about 500 KB
6) Right mouse click on this ...partN.rar file, and click "Copy link" to get a direct link

7) Now, add this link to Download Master

8) Repeat 4-7 steps of this instruction for each part of archive (...part1.zip - ...part5.zip) to add those links.
Note that these direct links are unique, they are valid only for you IP address. For other computers, you will have to repeat the instructions

9) Now, wait until Download Master downloads all the parts. It will take about 2 days, because of 50 KB/s speed limitation for free users.

=== How to install Xilinx Vivado Design Suite 2014.3 after you download all the ...part1.zip - ...part5.zip ===

To locate these files, right-click them in Download Master window.
IMPORTANT: make sure that these parts are in the same folder!

Use 7-Zip application ( http://www.7-zip.org/download.html ) to open part1.zip and extract the folder which is inside.
Now, open this folder. You will see:
*) .rar file
*) many .rxx files .
*) nfo file (readme, open with notepad)
*) sfv file, for checksum verification - to make sure that your downloads are OK quality

Open tbexvds20143.rar and extract .iso file.
Install some application like WinCDEmu ( http://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/ ) to work with virtual disk images, like this .iso file
Then, right mouse click on this .iso file , then choose "Select drive letter and mount".
Go to this virtual disk drive, then launch xsetup.exe and install

=== How to install a license to Xilinx Vivado Design Suite 2014.3 ===

Copy .lic file from Crack dir of virtual disk to your Documents.
Launch Vivado License Manager, then import this license. Now, this .lic .lic file will be stored at invisible folder C:\.Xilinx\xilinx_ise.lic
(notice the dot in front of Xilinx\xilinx_ise.lic)

=== IMPORTANT! ===

If you want to add the support for XC7V2000T and XC7V1500T devices, and many other stuff :

Before adding the .lic file to License Manager, edit it with Notepad ( http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ )

1) After the last PACKAGE (just before #EDK) add the following lines:


PACKAGE ISE_Vivado_Seth xilinxd 2016.05 A42C1F6F89A7 COMPONENTS="ISE \
	ChipscopePro ChipscopePro_SIOTK ISim PlanAhead XPS SDK SysGen \
	Vivado Rodin_Synthesis Rodin_Implementation AccelDSP HLS \
	PartialReconfiguration Vivado_HLS Rodin_SystemBuilder \
	AUTOESL_FLOW AUTOESL_CC AUTOESL_OPT AUTOESL_SC AUTOESL_XILINX \
	Simulation Implementation Analyzer Synthesis HLS_Synthesis \
	XC7V2000T XC7V2000T_BITGEN XC7V1500T XC7V1500T_BITGEN \
	petalinux_arch_ppc petalinux_arch_microblaze \
	petalinux_arch_zynq" OPTIONS=SUITE


2) After the last INCREMENT, at the bottom of file, add the following lines:


INCREMENT ISE_Vivado_Seth xilinxd 2016.05 22-dec-2016 uncounted \
	4BA8827B9FC7 VENDOR_STRING=License_Type:Bought HOSTID=ANY \
	ISSUER=2692407267@qq.com START=18-Sep-2012 TS_OK


If you already added the original file to License Manager (which was not improved by you, priorly) and now want to add these extra features,
no problem :-) You just need to close Vivado, go to invisible folder C:\.Xilinx (note the dot after \) right click xilinx_ise.lic file, unmark "read only",
edit it as shown above, then open Vivado, go to License Manager, click "Refresh", and you will be happy :-)
