There seems to be a glitch with downloading the x64 Portable zip

No problem for me. I get that same-sized zip file and it extracts and runs N++ just fine.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks. I kept getting a zero length file via Firefox. I tried Edge. It hung for about 45 seconds but then downloaded and so I have the file. As it seems to be a glitch on my side I have deleted my original comment.

I can download both x64 portable packages (zip & 7z) without problem. I believe it’s the problem of cache from your side (browser/ISP).
